British Broadcaster Piers Morgan criticizes Donald Trump for his decision to ban media outlets from the White House.
On September 18, 2026, British broadcaster Piers Morgan criticized President Donald Trump over his announcement that he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. Morgan called the move “suppression of free speech and unconstitutional.” He wrote:
“This is a very bad decision, President @realDonaldTrump – it’s not the media’s job to give you endless praise. It’s their job to hold you and your administration to rigorous account. Banning them is a suppression of free speech and unconstitutional.”
For further context, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on the same day that he is banning the three outlets from the White House. He also accused Politico of receiving $8 million in government subscriptions from the Biden administration, which the media outlet denied. He cited “fake news” as his reason for the ban and suggested that the outlets report only falsehoods. Trump wrote:
“I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MS NOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!”
The president also said the outlets should not be able to report “FICTION and LIES.” He suggested that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have covered him unfairly. He wrote:
“Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Several prominent personalities shared their thoughts on Donald Trump’s recent comments, and progressive commentator Mehdi Hasan joined the conversation. He argued that Democrats must reclaim the “patriotism card,” since Republicans are often the ones regarded as patriotic. Claiming that the sitting president “hates America and American freedoms,” he wrote this on X:
“Democrats need to reclaim the patriotism card from the Republican Party because no one hates America and American freedoms more than Donald J. Trump. Exhibit 776.”
