US Vice President J.D. Vance defended President Donald Trump's decision to block CNN, MSNOW and the online magazine Politico from entering the White House, accusing them of working for left-wing forces. "This is not a ban. we refuse to give special privileges to people who engage in dishonest coverage... If you're going to act as a propaganda tool for the left, by what logic should Donald Trump give you special privileges? give the right of access to his White House," he said in an interview with "Newsmax" TV channel. According to him, the ban on entry does not mean a ban on coverage of events. "Politico" will continue to write its arguments as before. They will continue to distort what we say and do. The difference is that they will no longer have an office in the White House," Vance said. He also added that seats in the White House press center are limited, and the administration can personally decide who to allocate them to. On September 18, Trump announced the ban on "CNN", "MSNOW" and "Politico" from working at the White House, accusing them of spreading "fake news". The journalists' passes were canceled the next day. It became known on Monday that all three media outlets have sued the US administration, claiming that the First Amendment to the Constitution on freedom of speech has been violated. In the White House, journalists representing "ABC", "CBS", "Fox News" and "NBC" television channels refused to replace the "CNN" crew, which was supposed to cover the events with Trump's participation in the United Nations General Assembly. The boycott was also joined by the leading periodicals of the print media, "New York Times" and "Washington Post", which, as a sign of solidarity with their colleagues, refused to publish official photos and materials with Trump's participation.
