    > Trump has dismissed the AP, which was established in 1846, as a group of “radical left lunatics” and said that “we’re going to keep them out until such time as they agree it’s the Gulf of America.”

    Being the most respected non-partisan source for both left and right media outlets apparently doesn't mean anything if you dare name what must not be named.

    '“Under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists — be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewher — it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints,” McFadden wrote.'

    So, where is the limit then? Surely if a group of journalists had some very extreme viewpoints on race or religions that would be more of an issue for McFadden?
