The American people stood up to Trump in favor of the media Denying access of some of the media to the White House has now become a controversy beyond the rights of journalists. The new complaint by 6 Americans against the Trump administration raised a fundamental question about freedom of speech; Can the government influence what the public knows about the functioning of the government by limiting access to the media? The new lawsuit filed by six American citizens against Trump and three senior officials in his administration places the center of attention on the connection between freedom of communication and the public's right to information. This case attempts to demonstrate that the consequences of media restriction are not limited to news organizations, but also to citizens who depend on independent reporting to learn about government performance. _ Link
