This is in retaliation for these outlets reporting truthfully in ways that the president disliked. Now, MS Now, CNN, and Politico are suing the Trump administration to lift the ban. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the freedom of the press. Yet the Trump administration wants to trample that freedom and silence its critics. Trump’s preference is an Orwellian propaganda arm, not an informed populace. This is the latest attack on the free press―from threatening broadcast licenses of affiliates who air Jimmy Kimmel Live to expelling journalists from the Pentagon. We must stand firmly to defend our Constitution! Trump’s ban is flatly unconstitutional. Courts have ruled repeatedly that the First Amendment prevents the White House from retaliating against media outlets because it doesn’t like their reporting. We need to send the message: We stand with the First Amendment! Co-sign the lawsuit and show your support for MS Now, CNN, and Politico today! We will deliver these signatures to MS Now, CNN, and Politico at the conclusion of this campaign. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/solidarity-with-ms-now-cnn-and-politico-suing-trump
