Trump spends campaign rally complaining about how he is treated by media amid record-low approval ratings
Trump tried to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House over unfavorable coverage, but a judge ordered that their access be restored
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center Trump’s approval ratings and his claim that he is “doing great” despite polling at a record low. The Guardian frames the story around the new poll numbers, while The Independent’s headline shifts more toward his campaign rally remarks about media treatment. Only The Independent’s extract mentions his attempt to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico and the judge’s order restoring access.
