President Donald Trump announced on social media platform X on September 18 that he is immediately banning CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House, citing their constant reporting of "FAKE NEWS."
In his post, Trump referred to MSNBC as "MSNOW," claiming it recently changed its name due to lack of viewership and credibility. He also alleged that Politico received an "illegal and ridiculous" $8 million subscription from the Biden administration to keep it "alive," calling it "corruption." He added, "Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow."
The full post reads: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them 'alive.' Seems like corruption to me!) from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!"
