White House Bars Reporter From Event Over A.P.’s Use of ‘Gulf of Mexico’

Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office. This afternoon AP’s reporter was blocked from attending an executive order signing.

It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism. Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only severely impedes the public’s access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment.

 
The Associated Press said on Tuesday that one of its reporters was barred from an Oval Office event because the outlet has continued to refer to the Gulf of Mexico by its original name.

That must have been (D)ifferent.
 
Again. No high ground. this isn't "whataboutism" it just points out your hypocrisy. Note the right didn't cry rivers when Biden removed reporters, it is only leftists that seem to care when Trump does it... Only Trump...
I am posting a story from the AP. Care to comment?
 
constantly. I repeatedly said on the forum that Biden failed to prosecute Trump for the violent attack on the Capitol.
It wasn't over this, that was the point. Crying a river over this only points out your own hypocrisy when it is clear you couldn't care less about it when your demented hero did the same thing.
