US television networks boycotted coverage of President Trump following his ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House.
CNN and other media organisations sued, claiming the ban violated the First Amendment right to a free press.
Trump argued the ban targeted "fake news" but allowed the press to retain free speech, sparking debates over media freedom and government transparency.
WASHINGTON, Sept 22 — US television networks staged an extraordinary revolt Monday when they effectively boycotted coverage of President Donald Trump in protest at his decision to ban three leading outlets from the White House.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico also went to court after Trump on Friday ordered them to be barred, as the 80-year-old Republican stepped up his years-long assault on the US media.
As a result of the row, Trump’s opening of his cherished new White House helipad and his trip to the United Nations General Assembly proceeded without live television coverage.
In a rare move, the top five US broadcasters said on Monday that they were halting “pool” coverage of the White House — where a broadcaster films on behalf of all television outlets for the day — in solidarity with CNN.
CNN had been scheduled to serve Monday as the White House TV pool.
“The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting,” ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC said in a statement.
The result is an almost unprecedented test of wills between the Trump administration and the press, in a critical week during which Chinese President Xi Jinping is visiting the White House.
There may be no live TV of Trump’s meetings with foreign leaders at the UN in New York, an annual forum that is closely watched around the world.
Meanwhile the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the giant granite helipad on the South Lawn was only streamed on the White House’s website — and Trump’s comments were completely inaudible.
Several photo news organizations working at the White House, including AFP, decided to delay the release of photographs of Trump at the helipad in solidarity with the three banned media organizations.
Trump was unrepentant, branding the media a “cancer” and a threat to national security.
“The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.
“It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America.”
On Monday evening, the White House launched a streaming channel, “Trump TV,” which it said would show “top videos, major remarks, and must-see highlights streaming 24/7 and updated in real time.”
When it went online, it was showing archive footage of Trump delivering a speech on July 3 at Mount Rushmore.
Vice President JD Vance — a former CNN commentator before his move into politics — accused the news outlets of disseminating “left-wing propaganda.”
“They can still report. They still have the access to free speech. They’re just not going to get an office in the White House anymore,” he told reporters.
Press pass confiscated
Trump’s ban however went further than simply revoking office space from the outlets.
Journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico were denied any access to the White House grounds on Saturday and had their passes confiscated.
In their lawsuit, the three organisations asked for a temporary restraining order against the ban on the grounds that it violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which upholds the right to a free press.
“This ban could not be a more direct assault on the First Amendment nor a more blatant violation of our most fundamental constitutional principles,” the organisations said in a court filing.
A US district judge set a hearing on the complaint for Wednesday.
Trump’s sudden announcement of the ban on Friday stunned the media — and reportedly many in his own administration.
The president has not detailed what prompted the ban, but said in response to a question from an AFP reporter in the Oval Office on Friday that it was “really just cumulative stories over the last two years.”
Trump warned Friday that other outlets could face a similar fate, without saying which.
The billionaire former reality TV star has long attacked media outlets that have aired critical coverage of his campaigns and administrations, repeatedly blasting the press as the “enemy of the people.”
But the ban comes at a time when his approval ratings are at record lows, his Republican Party risks losing control of Congress in November’s midterm elections, and the Iran war drags on with no end in sight. — AFP

在特朗普总统禁止 CNN、MS NOW 和 Politico 等媒体进入白宫后，美国电视网络抵制了对特朗普总统的报道。
CNN和其他媒体机构提起诉讼，声称该禁令侵犯了宪法第一修正案赋予的新闻自由权。
特朗普辩称，该禁令针对的是“假新闻”，但允许媒体保留言论自由，这引发了关于媒体自由和政府透明度的辩论。
华盛顿，9 月 22 日——周一，美国电视网发起了一场非同寻常的反抗，他们实际上抵制了对唐纳德·特朗普总统的报道，以抗议他禁止三家主要媒体进入白宫的决定。
在特朗普周五下令禁止 CNN、MS NOW 和 Politico 播出后，这三家媒体也对特朗普提起了诉讼。这位 80 岁的共和党人加大了对美国媒体长达数年的攻击力度。
由于这场争执，特朗普为他心爱的新白宫直升机停机坪揭幕以及他前往联合国大会的行程都没有进行电视直播。
周一，美国五大广播公司罕见地宣布，为声援 CNN，他们将停止对白宫的“联合”报道——即一家广播公司代表所有电视台进行当天的拍摄。
CNN原定于周一作为白宫电视转播团成员。
“公众有权获得关于政府的准确、独立的信息。任何政府都不应因为反对新闻机构的报道而限制其运作，”美国广播公司（ABC）、哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）、美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）、福克斯新闻（Fox）和美国全国广播公司（NBC）在一份声明中表示。
结果是，在习近平主席访问白宫的关键一周，特朗普政府与媒体之间展开了一场前所未有的意志较量。
特朗普在纽约联合国总部与外国领导人会晤的画面可能不会进行电视直播，而这一年度论坛一直备受全世界关注。
与此同时，白宫南草坪巨型花岗岩直升机停机坪的剪彩仪式仅在白宫网站上进行了直播——而特朗普的讲话完全听不到。
包括法新社在内的几家在白宫工作的新闻图片社决定推迟发布特朗普在直升机停机坪的照片，以声援被禁的三家媒体机构。
特朗普毫无悔意，称媒体是“毒瘤”，对国家安全构成威胁。
“白宫并没有对新闻自由发起攻击，这是我所珍视的，”特朗普在他的“真相社交网络”上说道。
“这是对假新闻的打击，假新闻在我们挚爱的美国就像癌症一样滋生蔓延。”
周一晚间，白宫推出了一个名为“特朗普电视台”的流媒体频道，称该频道将“全天候24小时播放热门视频、重要讲话和必看亮点，并实时更新”。
网站上线时，播放的是特朗普7月3日在拉什莫尔山发表讲话的存档视频。
副总统 JD Vance（在从政前曾是 CNN 的评论员）指责这些新闻媒体散布“左翼宣传”。
“他们仍然可以进行报道。他们仍然享有言论自由。他们只是不再能在白宫拥有办公室了，”他告诉记者。
记者证被没收
然而，特朗普的禁令不仅仅是取消这些商店的办公空间。
周六，CNN、MS NOW 和 Politico 的记者被拒绝进入白宫，他们的通行证也被没收。
这三个组织在诉讼中要求法院发布临时限制令，禁止该禁令，理由是该禁令违反了美国宪法第一修正案，该修正案维护新闻自由的权利。
这些组织在提交给法院的文件中表示：“这项禁令是对第一修正案最直接的攻击，也是对我们最基本的宪法原则最公然的违反。”
美国地区法官已安排于周三就此投诉举行听证会。
特朗普周五突然宣布这项禁令，震惊了媒体，据报道也震惊了他自己政府中的许多人。
总统没有详细说明是什么促使他颁布了禁令，但在周五于椭圆形办公室回答法新社记者提问时表示，这“实际上只是过去两年里积累起来的新闻”。
特朗普周五警告说，其他媒体也可能面临类似的命运，但他没有具体说明是哪些媒体。
这位亿万富翁、前真人秀明星长期以来一直抨击那些对他的竞选活动和执政时期进行批评报道的媒体，反复抨击媒体是“人民的敌人”。
但这项禁令出台之际，他的支持率正处于历史低位，他的共和党面临在11月中期选举中失去国会控制权的风险，而伊朗战争也遥遥无期。——法新社
