Trump Administration Bans CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from White House
The move marks a significant escalation in the president's strained relationship with several major news outlets.
President Donald Trump has banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from accessing the White House, according to a report from the New York Post.
While outlets like Fox News and Nickelodeon remain welcome, the exclusion of CNN, MSNBC, and Politico signifies a notable increase in the administration's adversarial stance towards certain media organizations. The exact reasons for these specific bans were not detailed in the provided notes, which focused heavily on baseball betting.
This action comes amidst a week of significant media developments, including NBC's upcoming 100th-anniversary celebration in November, which veteran anchor Al Roker expressed excitement about.
The notes also touched on several MLB games scheduled for Monday, with the Minnesota Twins, San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox, and Tampa Bay Rays mentioned. The New York Post's betting analyst, "Stitches," offered a prediction, recommending a wager on the Twins to defeat the Giants, citing pitcher Zebby Matthews for the Twins.
The Red Sox, despite a loss to the Rays, reportedly clinched a playoff berth following a home run from Mike Yastrzemski of the Braves against the Astros. Rays defeated the Red Sox 5-1, with Patrick Sandoval allowing four runs in the first inning.
