CNN’s chief White House correspondent, Kaitlan Collins, posted on Saturday that the ban was an “illegal assault” on the cable news network’s constitutional rights. What? CNN still has freedom of speech and freedom of the press. As we said, they’re reporting from outside the White House today. We didn’t know they had a constitutional right to access the White House.
CNN: “Early today, CNN journalists were denied access to the White House grounds. CNN’s mission to report on the U.S. government will continue regardless of any attempts to restrict physical access to the White House and other government buildings, or any other attempts to impede…
… our journalism. We have a right under the U.S. Constitution to do our reporting without hindrance or interference from the government and this ban is an illegal assault on this fundamental right.”
Will CNN be filing a lawsuit?
So you’ll continue to make shit up. No one is surprised by this
The Supreme Court’s Houchins v. KQED 1978 ruling says media has no greater access rights to government facilities than the public, and Zemel v. Rusk 1965 ruling notes White House entry is not a First Amendment right and the press lacks an unrestrained right to gather information
You have no Constitutional right to be at the WH and the federal government isn’t stopping you from speaking. There is no violation of any of your rights.
CNN and Collins are claiming that hindering or interfering with CNN’s ability to report is illegal and unconstitutional. Is that the opinion of CNN lawyers? Or is that a fact? It would be nice if CNN reported facts.
