AP Sues Trump White House Officials Over ‘Gulf of America’ Ban on News Organization


The AP sued Trump officials over the White House ban on the news org because of its refusal to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America."

The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials Friday over the White House ban on the news organization’s access to presidential events. “The White House has ordered the Associated Press to use certain words in its coverage or else face an indefinite denial of access,” the news org says in the complaint. While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One.”
