MS NOW Journalists Denied White House Entry Following Presidential Ban
MS NOW stated its journalists were denied entry to the White House grounds on Saturday morning, a day after President Trump declared a ban on the news outlet.
Roanoke Lynchburg, VA, September 19, 2026 — MS NOW journalists were reportedly denied access to the White House grounds on Saturday morning. The incident occurred one day after President Donald Trump declared a ban on the news outlet.
The exclusion of MS NOW reporters marks a significant development following the White House’s decision to bar the organization. According to a statement from MS NOW, its journalists were prevented from entering the White House grounds on Saturday. This action followed a formal ban on the outlet, which was declared by President Trump on Friday.
The specific reasons for the ban were not detailed in the provided information, nor were the specific journalists or assignments affected by the denial of entry. The White House has not issued a public statement detailing the scope or justification for the ban beyond the President’s declaration.
This event raises questions about press access and the relationship between the current administration and news organizations critical of its policies or coverage. The impact of such bans on journalistic operations and the flow of information remains a subject of public and professional interest.
