Judge blocks Trump's White House ban targeting CNN, MS NOW and Politico

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 14 October 2026 and 14 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said the White House's revocation of hard passes for CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists likely violated their First and Fifth Amendment rights.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets focus on the court order blocking the White House action and identify CNN, MS NOW and Politico as the affected outlets. CBS News is the only one to spell out that Judge Timothy Kelly linked the move to likely First and Fifth Amendment problems. Reason uniquely frames the story as a preliminary injunction and quotes the court’s language, while CNBC gives the broadest label, saying the block is indefinite.
