Tiana Lowe Doescher, a Washington Examiner columnist, argues that President Trump's decision to revoke press credentials for CNN, MSN Now, and Politico likely violates due process protections established in earlier court rulings. The D.C. District Court’s 2018 Sherrill v. Knight case set precedent requiring procedural safeguards before revoking media access to the White House. Doescher explains that once a reporter gains entry into the press pool area, which is considered semi-public space, there are certain liberties protected by due process rights, mandating a fair procedure for any revocation of credentials.

Story summary
On September 25, US TV networks resumed coverage of President Donald Trump’s events at the White House after a judge ordered the administration to lift its ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. The ban was imposed last week due to what Trump described as unfavorable press coverage. Despite the reinstatement, tensions remain high; the networks ceased filming White House events in solidarity with banned outlets earlier in the week, resulting in no pool footage during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit on September 24-25. The court battle continues, and CNN was barred from traveling with Trump to Tennessee for a weekend trip, though reasons were not officially provided by the administration.

“He never needs to call on Kaitlan Collins, he never has to call on Jim Acosta, never, god forbid, needs to call on Brian Stelter,” Doescher said.

“However, once you admit a reporter into the press pool, because it is considered a semipublic arena, the judge, the district court judge, back in 2018, said there is some sort of liberty interest protected by a due process right that is created.

The ruling requires the president to follow a procedure to revoke access to media members, Doescher said.

“So what that means is, if you want to go through a process of saying, ‘CNN, you made up these stories, or you improperly attributed sources,’ you have to go through a process to take away the hard pass,” Doescher said.
