Summary
Fox News and Newsmax joined 40 news organizations in signing a letter urging the Trump administration to lift its ban on the Associated Press (AP) from White House events.
The ban stems from AP’s refusal to adopt the term “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico,” following a Trump executive order.
Newsmax defended AP’s First Amendment rights despite ideological differences.
The White House Correspondents’ Association and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press also protested the ban, but Trump remains firm, calling AP a “radical left organization.”
They supported him, what the hell did they think was going to happen?
There’s a reason we don’t let rabid dogs roam wild. If you open the cage, you don’t get to complain about the subsequent rabies epidemic. You certainly don’t get to ask the dog to stop biting people.
The rabies infection numbers won’t be high if we don’t report on them.
Just stop testing, duh.
