The Associated Press has been banned indefinitely from access to Trump's White House because they refer to the Gulf of Mexico as — the Gulf of Mexico. AP executive Editor Julie Pace referred to what the trump klan is doing as “punishment” for free-thinking, independent journalism. She also said that by doing so, the Trump team is impeding “the public’s access to independent news” and that such behavior violates the First Amendment. But a little thing like violating the First Amendment doesn’t make the trump administration think twice. Or even once, apparently.
