President Donald Trump doesn’t like the coverage of him by MS NOW, CNN and Politico — and as of Saturday, the White House started enforcing the president’s ban on those news organizations from accessing the facility.

MS NOW said some of its journalists were denied access to the White House grounds on Saturday morning. The network, formerly known as MSNBC, said it will “take any and all steps necessary to defend our First Amendment rights and the essential role of independent journalism in our democracy.”
