The fake news media took another hit this week—and America is better off for it.

After months of outright misinformation, manipulation, and thinly veiled political sabotage, President Trump’s administration finally pulled the plug on the Associated Press, banning the outlet from White House press events. Naturally, the mainstream media erupted in coordinated outrage. But then came the best part: a federal court upheld the ban as fully legal and constitutional.

Game. Set. Match.

The Press Has the Right to Report—Not the Right to Lie

Let’s be clear: freedom of the press doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. When a so-called “news organization” spends every waking moment trying to undermine the President of the United States with false, inflammatory, and unverified stories, it forfeits its seat at the table.

The AP hasn’t just crossed a line—they’ve bulldozed through it.

Their reporting isn’t journalism anymore. It’s resistance activism wrapped in a wire service.

A Track Record of Lies and Smears

Let’s take a walk down memory lane and look at just a few of the bogus “reports” the AP has run over the past two years:

• “Trump called veterans ‘suckers and losers’” – This garbage claim was based on anonymous sources and immediately denied by over 20 on-the-record witnesses who were with the President. But AP ran it anyway, just days before the 2024 election.
• “Illegal immigrants are being denied water at the border” – Another story with no photographic evidence, no credible sourcing, and later debunked by Customs and Border Protection. But the damage was done, and that was the point.
• “The Trump tax cuts increased the deficit” – A flat-out economic lie. Even the Congressional Budget Office confirmed that spending, not the tax cuts, was the main driver of deficits. But the AP kept the headline vague enough to mislead the public.

And who can forget the so-called “climate catastrophe” article that tried to blame a Texas heat wave on Trump rolling back a single EPA regulation from 2019? No data, no logic—just agenda-driven nonsense.

Hoping for America to Fail

It’s not just misinformation. It’s motive.

The Associated Press isn’t simply getting stories wrong—they’re hoping this country fails under conservative leadership. They cheer for chaos at the border. They root for inflation. They celebrate when our military operations hit setbacks. Why? Because anything that hurts Trump helps their political narrative.

That’s not journalism. That’s sabotage.

The Court Got It Right

When the AP challenged their ban, claiming it violated the First Amendment, the court responded with cold, hard reality: you have the right to publish, not the right to be invited. The White House, like any institution, can choose who gets access—especially when that access is being abused to spread provable lies.

So the ban stands. And it should.

Final Thought

The Associated Press has chosen sides. They no longer represent the press—they represent the opposition.

President Trump made the right call, the court confirmed it, and the American people should celebrate it. Because in the end, truth matters more than credentials, and this administration will never apologize for fighting back.
