| Good for AP for not acceding to Trump’s delusions. |

Try to follow along: AP refused to use the term “Gulf of America” when the POTUS told them to. Then POTUS used his official office to punish them for practicing their…wait for it….FREE SPEECH. |

Follow along. AP can continue to report on the president and publish anything they want to publish. That’s free speech. You don’t have the right to access the White House. Plenty of news outlets don’t. It’s by invitation. Your local news outlet can’t just waltz into the White House claiming free speech. |

PP is right. Only Loyalists deserve access to the King's propaganda presentations.
Trump wants to hide from the American people and avoid questions he can't answer. He has every right to tell Americans he is unworthy of the office he is desecrating. |

Just like Goebbels and the Kremlin invited who they wanted. Certainly the sign of a healthy democracy. |

It actually does. SCOTUS said decades ago that free speech includes the right to hear. Plus press freedom has its own specific protection in the First Amendment. I'll probably look up this opinion, but seems to me they had to tie themselves into knots to reach it. |

Good. Time for others to have a turn. |

Are you telling us the AP is America's only press? |

Are you telling us free speech only comes from the AP? |

AP = Associated Press |

It’s true, the Weekly Word News is going to love to report on the Biden Clone issue. Maybe they can dig down and finally report on the microchips in vaccines and the secret Bigfoot Aliens. |

“These restricted presidential spaces are not First Amendment fora opened for private speech and discussion,” DC Circuit Judge Neomi Rao wrote. “No one suggests the Oval Office is a traditional public forum such as a park or sidewalk held in trust for expressive activity.” Friday’s ruling didn’t extend to the White House’s larger East Room space, where presidential press conferences sometimes take place. The AP was also excluded from those last winter, though the White House loosened up in the spring. The AP cannot force itself into the president's private spaces, which requires an invitation that has been rescinded. |

Yes. We all know Trump is too frail to manage reporters who don’t flatter him. He prefers mini rallies with his sycophants. |
