Government cites 'national security' in shifting White House media ban defense
Original: Now it's 'national security': gov't changes story in WH media ban
The government has changed its stated justification for banning certain media outlets from White House access, now framing the exclusion as a matter of national security. The shift, reported by CNN, has drawn criticism from press freedom advocates who see it as a moving target of official explanations for restricting journalists' access to the president and administration events.
Why now: The changing official rationale for excluding media from the White House raises press freedom concerns and is drawing wide attention.
