Trump accused CNN and MSNOW of bias and refusal to cover Xi Jinping's visit

US President Donald Trump accused CNN and MSNOW of bias and deliberate refusal to cover the solemn ceremony of the arrival of Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House.

“CNN and MSDNC (MSNOW – ed.), to show you how fake they are, today refused to cover one of the biggest and most beautiful events in many years - the arrival at the White House of the highly respected President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping and his beautiful wife Madame Peng... Because they are fake news and understood how well everything would go, they did not want to give Trump credit and refused to attend,” Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social.

According to the American leader, the fall in the ratings of liberal media in the United States is caused by a complete loss of trust on the part of viewers and a reluctance to objectively cover the foreign policy successes of the current administration.

Trump on September 18 announced a ban on CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House, accusing them of spreading “fake news.” In response, all three media outlets sued the US administration, claiming violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution on freedom of speech.

On Thursday, Judge Timothy Kelly granted a joint lawsuit by CNN, MSNOW and Politico and blocked the White House restrictions for 14 days, ordering the administration to "immediately restore" the journalists' credentials. During this time, the court intends to listen to the positions of both parties to make a final decision.
