I remember when Obama tried to do this with Fox News and conservatives flipped out.

No, a president cannot legally ban specific news outlets or journalists from the White House to punish unfavorable coverage or viewpoints.

The Constitutional Protections
First Amendment:
The U.S. Constitution protects freedom of the press.

Viewpoint Discrimination:
The government cannot block reporters just because it dislikes their reporting or political stance.

Public Access:
Designated press areas in the White House function as public forums, meaning officials cannot kick out reporters arbitrarily.

Past Legal Precedents
Jim Acosta (2018):
When the Trump administration tried to revoke the press pass of CNN reporter Jim Acosta, a federal judge ordered the White House to give it back. The court ruled that stripping credentials without fair process violates constitutional rights.

Associated Press (2025): A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from banning Associated Press journalists from the Oval Office and Air Force One after a dispute over news style guides.

*Former Alameda County DA Pamela Price tried to ban Cal Bear Emilie Raguso (now owner of The Berkeley Scanner) from her pressers because of negative coverage, but had to back down when her aides pointed out it was unlawful.

Did you call Obama a dictator when he tried to do this to Fox News?

The Supreme Court has ruled against Trump numerous times. This comment makes no sense.

Solidifying the Western Hemisphere.

President Trump says US has reached an agreement to take permanent control of Greenland's security.

This article is about a photo going around that shows Trump kissing an assistant woman named Harp. As if he's boning her on the side.

This article addresses whether it's real or fake. Somewhat amusing, but what's truly interesting is how the times have changed. No longer can we trust images.

You have AI pictures of Trump kissing women.

We have real pictures of Biden sniffing children.

well that's really not something to brag about, you may get arrested as a SO

51 intel officials said my laptop was Russian disinformation.

Like how Trump said the US took "total control" of the Strait of Hormuz on August 12th?

Whataboutism

I disagree.

The common denominator is the worst President in my Lifetime who has done nothing to UNITE it.

Trump.

Maybe some of our 25,000 to 40,000 troops relocated from the EU will be placed there. Europe will change dramatically when some European countries become majority non-Christian / non-Western.

He's uniting the Western hemisphere as we speak.

The Danes have not denied the substance of Trump's claim about the deal.

Hamlet was a Dane and he always made me nervous. Starting with "their" name: Hamlet? Seriously?!? Sounds like he/she might be trans or something. Greenland should be ours. Not just the perpetual rights to the place; it should be Americaland! Obama woulda just taken it, had he not been busy killing Osama bin Laden with his bare hands. In fact, I heard Obama was born in Greenland!

I suggest sending you to spend a year or two in Greenland and give us a report on all the things that need to be done to support, house and supply 25,000-40,000 troops on a largely glacier covered wilderness.
