The article questions whether Donald Trump is against a free press, stating that the straightforward answer is yes, despite leading a nation that prides itself on press freedom. It cites his decision to ban CNN, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), and Politico from the White House as an assault on the free press, turning the White House into a private fortress of censorship and weaponising his personal vendettas to strip these media institutions of their press credentials. The article claims that without offering evidence, Trump brands these media institutions as purveyors of 'fiction and lies' and 'fake news' simply because they dared to perform the basic duty of journalism: holding power accountable.
