Trump Bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House Over Coverage
Read this in the Market Flux appPresident Trump announced Friday that he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House effective immediately, citing their coverage of his administration. Trump posted on Truth Social that those outlets "shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES" and warned that "other Fake News Media Outlets" would follow, though he did not identify any specific reporting that prompted the move.
CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. MS NOW, which is the rebranded name of MSNBC following its November 2025 spinoff from NBCUniversal, is owned by Versant, the cable group Comcast separated from its portfolio in January 2026. Politico is owned by German media company Axel Springer.
The ban came on the same day Trump was expected to sign a Russia sanctions bill, according to CNN, a network now barred from White House access. The administration did not immediately offer comment beyond Trump's own post.
