White House Calls Press Access a 'Privilege' in Court Filing
Original: White House Says Access Is a 'Privilege' in Court Filing Defending Media Ban
The White House has filed a court document defending its ban on several news outlets, including CNN, Politico and MS NOW, arguing that press access to the president is a privilege rather than a right. The filing comes as the exclusions face a legal challenge, drawing criticism from press freedom advocates who say the administration is punishing unfavourable coverage.
Why now: The legal defence of excluding major news organisations raises press freedom concerns and affects coverage of the administration.
