OK, so President Trump just banned CNN, Politico and Ms Now from the White House. And I could not care less. Why? Well, because for decades, Democratic White Houses have worked hand in glove with compliant media while targeting right wing media. And nobody said a word because they were polite about it. They checked all of the proper boxes. Well, President Trump doesn't do quiet and he doesn't check boxes. He just does the thing out loud. Is it ideal? Not really. We've been way past ideal, however, for a long time now. I'll explain it all in just a moment. Plus, we'll get to a New York Times Pulitzer Prize winner explaining that she betrayed her own child for the sake of political correctness. Ms Rachel's and Zohran Mamdani's favorite photojournalist simply loves terrorism. And Patrick Clancy speaks out. This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

Okay, so on Friday, President Trump put out a statement on Truth Social in which he said he was essentially banning CNN, Ms Now, and Politico from the White House. Here's what he said, quote, I'm proud to announce that effective immediately I'm 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 subscription in all time records directly from the US 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 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, President Donald J. Trump. All right. So what access did the administration actually pull? Let's start with that. Well, they're not like going to the CNN headquarters and just pulling a plug or occupying the building over at Ms Now or something. Here's what they actually did. They deactivated the press badges from entry to the White House. If you had a press badge from Ms Now, they pulled your press badge. That included the briefing and workspaces in the lower press offices in the White House. There's like a press office in the White House where some of the journalists and pseudo-journalists work. Outlets were also removed from the presidential press pool. That is where basically there's essentially one stringer who works for all of these outlets and then puts a microphone and a camera aimed at the president. And then all of these various outlets share the feed. That's basically what was happening here. So let's start at the very beginning here. This is not exactly a ban on press. It certainly doesn't violate the Constitution. There's no institution called the press that gets special rights in America. We all as American citizens have the same rights. I'm going to read you the First Amendment because people never refer back to the text when they talk about this stuff. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Again, Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press. You want to know what that means? That means the government can't shut down press outlets. It can't censor press outlets. This does not mean that if you label yourself a member of the press as sort of a vocation, then you get to waltz into the White House and sit down and ask the president questions or the press secretary questions. So, in other words, the First Amendment protects acts of journalism, just as it protects acts of free speech and acts of free exercise of religion. There are institutions that embody those acts. So, for example, the government shouldn't shut down churches because it embodies free exercise of religion, and the government should not shut down newspapers because that embodies freedom of the press. But there is no special class of individuals who get special protections under the law. Like, if you wear a journalist badge around, you don't get magical special protections and privileges. But journalists have decided that they get these special protections and special privileges.
