President Trump on Friday defended his decision to ban CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House, accusing the outlets of publishing "fake news." "Our country has to have honest news," he told reporters in the Oval Office. "You know how fake their reporting is. It's one-sided. It's never good." The president said there was "no reason" in particular for why he was instituting the ban now. "It's really just cumulative stories over the last few years. You get sick of it," he said. "They purposely write negative news, and they do that because they want to try and diminish the Republicans and a Republican administration." #trump #freepress #firstamendment #press #ban #cspan
