I hope AP loses. The next Democratic President should completely ignore Fox and the rest

The Trump administration banned AP from the White House for refusing to use its made-up name for the Gulf of Mexico.

AP is now fighting for the freedom of the press.

“The press & all people in the US have the right to choose their own words & not be retaliated against by government.”

This is a clear violation of the first amendment.

Why suing? Why don’t all established media instead drop showing Up. A collective response will hurt more than another law suit. Instead they can begin reporting on what he is actually doing? Why play the game in his back yard?

Because basically what Trump is trying to do is sway public opinion against the press that doesn't side with him, as if his word is absolute...it's either bow down to him or blackout from finding out what is going on in the WH.

bentecharm.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I see your point. And the press probably Are too divided for a boycott to be realistic. It would be nice thoug, to hit him in the middle of his attentioncraving gut

The other media outlets already failed to stand up for the AP. They had a petition, but purposefully kept it secret to not anger the wrong people. They're spineless.

That, but hitting him in the pockets and putting him in check works just the same.

AP is renowned for their commitment to journalistic integrity, and they're structured as a nonprofit cooperative. Its members democratically elect management. The world would benefit from more news cooperatives to serve as the better alternative to media owned and controlled by billionaires.

Trump distrusts nonauthoritarian organizations.

Thanks for pointing this out. I always thought the AP was more of a for-profit collector of different news sources. I now see better reasons to support them.

For all us British, Europeans, Africans, Middle Easterns, Asians, Australasions, South Americans... and Canada 👋, who don't know their 1st apistles from their 1st apostles..

1st amendment goes something like this...

"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 the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

"Say what we say or stay away!”

Reporters gather, but one is blocked.
AP News found the White House locked.
Call the gulf "America" or stay outside!
The First Amendment cast aside.

Is this going to the SCOTUS?

maverick72.bsky.social•19 hours ago

I stand with AP, their principled stand adhering to their style guidance and their consideration for their worldwide audience. 🍊🤡 unilaterally renaming the Gulf is not only silly, it’s also his effort to create a sense of ownership and control over it w/out regard to the rest of the 🌎.

This is an additional impeachable offense to be added to Rep. Al Greene's increasing list of actions against the American people.

The New York Post was banned by the Biden White House.

Did you ever hear anybody in the media comment about that? No because they’re all hypocrites and liars
