Media ban 'an escalation even for Trump'

CNN, MS NOW and Politico on Monday sued President Donald Trump’s administration days after they were barred from White House grounds, calling the selective ban — based on the content of their coverage — a “blatant violation” of the First Amendment. The extraordinary ban represents an escalation of Trump’s long-running efforts to restrict news coverage he finds objectionable, says France 24’s Kethevane Gorjestani.
