MS NOW reporter Akayla Gardner (R) prepares for a live report near the White House on September 19, 2026 in Washington, DC. The White House made good on US President Donald Trump's vow to deny CNN, MS NOW and Politico access to the presidential mansion as punishment for reporting what he calls "fake news." The three news outlets denounced the ban as a violation of the US constitution and vowed to keep reporting on the US government. (Photo by Jim WATSON / AFP via Getty Images)
