(DailyEmailNews.com) – The battle between the liberal Associated Press (AP) and the White House has reached a new point following a lawsuit over the unlikeliest of issues: the Golf of America.
The legal drama began when the leftwing outlet sued the Trump administration for a ban that prevented it from covering White House press events.
The ban came after the AP refused to acknowledge President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
As a result, a federal judge recently declined to issue a temporary restraining order against the White House for denying the AP full access to cover the administration.
This ruling marks a significant victory for the Trump administration in its ongoing struggle against biased media coverage.
Known for its left-leaning reporting, the AP found itself locked out of essential areas like Air Force One and the Oval Office after refusing to adopt the new “Gulf of America” terminology in its reporting.
While the AP cries foul and claims First Amendment violations, the Trump administration stands firm in its decision.
U.S. Attorney Brian Hudak argued that the president has the right to decide who has access to the White House, stating that no one has a “special access right” to it.
“If tomorrow the White House decides to abolish the White House press pool, they can do that. I don’t think that offends the Constitution,” Hudak added.
The AP’s refusal to write Gulf of America in its reporting has been described as a clear disregard for presidential authority and American pride.
Some have even praised the White House’s decision to revoke AP’s access as a much-needed wake-up call to the mainstream media.
It sends a powerful message that biased reporting and disrespect for executive decisions will no longer be tolerated in the press room.
In presiding over the case, Judge Trevor McFadden demonstrated judicial restraint by refusing to interfere with executive office decisions.
He questioned the alleged “irreparable harm” to the AP, noting they could still access information without being physically present.
“I can’t say the AP has shown a likelihood of success here,” Judge McFadden firmly stated.
This case highlights the ongoing battle between the Trump administration and the liberal media elite.
By standing firm on the Gulf of America issue, President Trump seeks to protect the nation’s sovereignty and challenge the media’s attempt to undermine his authority.
Additionally, the AP’s refusal to acknowledge the “Gulf of America” is not just a matter of terminology but a refusal to respect the will of the American people as expressed through their elected leader.
The Trump administration’s actions serve as a reminder that press access is a privilege, not a right – a privilege that can and should be revoked when abused by biased outlets like the AP.
