A CNN report on President Donald Trump’s ban on the outlet, as well as MS NOW and Politico, was interrupted live on the air by a heckler who said they wouldn’t have had their access revoked, if only they would “tell the truth.” The wacky moment happened as CNN senior White House reporter Betsy Klein was reporting on Saturday morning, one day after Trump announced he was barring the three outlets. As Klein reported there are a number of “outstanding questions” about how the ban will look in the days ahead, a booming male voice was heard off-camera. “Tell the truth! If you tell the truth, then you won’t get revoked,” the man said. “Tell the truth.” The CNN camera did not capture what the man looked like, and Klein kept pressing forward without a flinch. Her report followed the Trump administration following through with the ban and blocking MS NOW, CNN, and Politico reporters from entering the White House grounds, including Klein. The president posted on Truth Social on Friday: I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS! On Saturday, Fox News reporter and White House Correspondents’ Association President Jacqui Heinrich urged Trump to immediately end the ban, arguing the move violated the First Amendment and harmed the American public. Klein and Status’ Oliver Darcy reported Trump’s ban left staffers “scrambling,” with many hearing about the ban for the first time on Truth Social.

(Photos via: Fox News) White House Correspondents’ Association President Jacqui Heinrich urged President Donald Trump to immediately scrap his ban against CNN, Politico, and MS NOW, arguing it “violates” the First Amendment and hurts the American public. Heinrich called on Trump to end the ban in a Saturday statement, one day after the president announced he was barring the three outlets from the White House. The Trump Admin followed through with the plan on Saturday morning by blocking the outlets from the White House grounds. “Today’s action revoking access for journalists from CNN, POLITICO, and MSNOW violates the First Amendment,” Heinrich said in response. “The implications extend beyond these organizations: a standard used to exclude one news outlet because of its coverage could be applied to any outlet in the future. The American people, through a free and independent press, must be able to scrutinize those elected to power, regardless of whether government officials view it favorably.” She added, “That’s why courts have repeatedly held that once the White House provides access to journalists, it cannot deny that access arbitrarily or based on the content of their reporting. The WHCA calls on the administration to immediately restore our colleagues’ access.” Heinrich is a senior White House correspondent for Fox News and co-hosts The Sunday Briefing on the channel along with Peter Doocy. She replaced CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang as WHCA head honcho in Mid-July, one week before the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner took place; the initial dinner in April was sabotaged by a shooter storming the Washington, D.C. venue and attempting to kill Trump and several members of his administration. It’s worth pointing out Trump has bashed Heinrich a few times this year, like in March when he complained she was doing an “absolutely terrible” job. The president later said at the WHCD she was “so beautiful,” but also “so nasty” — which Heinrich responded to with a big shrug. Heinrich called for Trump to end the press ban around the same time MS NOW chief national reporter Peter Alexander argued on air the president issued the ban to “rile up” his MAGA base and distract them from the many “failures” of his second term.The post WHCA Boss and Senior Fox News Journo Jacqui Heinrich Urges Trump to End Press Ban Immediately: It ‘Violates’ the First Amendment first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Chief MS NOW Reporter Claims Trump’s Press Ban Is to Distract MAGA Base From t...MS NOW chief national reporter Peter Alexander argued President Donald Trump banned his outlet, as well as CNN and Politico, from the White House to distract his MAGA base from the many “failures” of his administration — but he added the president “can’t hide” from that “truth” forever. Alexander ripped the president’s ban during a Saturday appearance on The Assignment with Antonia Hylton. “It was Jack Nicholson, I think, in A Few Good Men who said ‘You can’t handle the truth.’ In this case, the president cannot handle the truth and he doesn’t want Americans to hear the truth right now,” Alexander said. He went on from there, arguing Trump’s ban violates the First Amendment. Alexander continued: The bottom line is, what strikes me why he would do this is because in many ways what the president is doing is trying to send a message to his supporters, to those media outlets, podcasters, influencers, and others, to make this the focus. The focus on the First Amendment, on fake news, on the media, that they are the problem, and not some of the failures of his own administration: A war that’s now in its seventh month, that he promised would be four or five weeks long. He promised the Russia-Ukraine war would be resolved on day one, if not before he came into office. These are all truths the president can’t hide from. And by raising this topic in the way he did — I think, based on the years of covering him — the president’s desire is this will refocus the attention, amplify his message on topics that sort of rile up the base, through the vehicles that he usually relies on, and those are the more sycophantic outlets throughout the country. He shared his take one day after Trump announced he was banning the three outlets from the White House. “I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them ‘alive.’ Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

- Kash Patel Boasts on Fox He’s ‘Increased the Use of AI’ in the FBI by 605%FBI Director Kash Patel boasted on Fox News that he’s increase the use of AI by 605% during his time in his position. Patel joined Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday in America and discussed using AI to “triage data.” McEnany brought up Patel’s recent statements about AI being used to stop a potential school shooting in North Carolina. Patel said: We’ve done it in North Carolina and about half a dozen other states to prevent school shootings since I’ve been in the seat. AI, when used lawfully, is a critical tool to triage data. For far too long the institutional morass in D.C. rejected the advancements of technology. I have increased the use of AI in the FBI by 605%. And what we’re about to do is work with our private sector partners and work with our state and local partners and look at databases and collect information and get DNA and then get these threats back out to the field and stop people from killing children at schools. That is not a political mission. And, of course, all the Democrats on the committee didn’t want to talk about that, but we are going to continue the work of safeguarding our most precious resources, our children, and we’re going to rely on technology, and we have made the most technological advancements in the FBI’s history in the last 18 months thanks to President Trump. Patel told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in May that AI was used for a “tip” on a potential school shooting in North Carolina. “We stopped a school massacre in North Carolina because we got a tip and we were able to triage it with artificial intelligence,” he said. He added that he has tech companies “embedded” at the FBI. “I’ve got every major tech company in the world embedded in the FBI, rebuilding our internet capabilities, our classified systems, and the ability for artificial intelligence to be in our counterterrorism program so we can get instantaneous results,” Patel said. Patel’s use of AI comes amid growing concerns inside and outside the tech industry. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned this month that AI’s pace must be slowed down or rogue AI agents could take over the internet in 12 months. Tech leaders Elon Musk and Sam Altman backed the call to slow the pace. That warning followed Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigning and dropping… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago
- Treat AI Like a Normal Crisis
One 27-year-old quit his job, and everybody (including but not limited to the singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow) appears to have lost it.The past two weeks have been dizzying. The 27-year-old, Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic, went public with an alarming allegation: That the people inside Silicon Valley’s leading AI companies truly believe their products might pose an extinction level threat to humanity. This claim isn’t exactly new. AI safety advocates, often dubbed doomers, have been saying this for over a decade. Coxon isn’t even the first AI researcher this year to quit and cite concerns.Yet Coxon’s post went obscenely viral. It has been viewed more than 170 million times on X—orders of magnitude more than the usual, wonky discussions of “misaligned” or runaway AIs. If you’re reading this, you’ve likely seen some version of a headline that asks Is AI Really Going To Kill Us All? The debate isn’t just online. It has roiled Washington D.C., activating figures as disparate as Donald Trump and Barack Obama. Inside AI companies, researchers echoed Coxon’s concerns, and the heads of every major AI company publicly expressed the need to “pace the frontier,” another way of saying that they ought to slow future development. In recent days, it has come to seem as if the media, Silicon Valley, and the entire internet are all trying to figure out just how dangerous AI might be.Here’s where I must admit: A big chunk of this conversation happened while I was on a (depending on whom you ask) poorly timed vacation. Dipping into my feeds before bedtime, I felt as if I was digesting a week’s worth of news every day—claims about the development of AI-designed viruses that could rip through the population were followed by horror stories of “rogue” agent swarms. Skeptics of the AI panic, meanwhile, said that the agent swarms were actually quite obedient and that any notion of an apocalyptic AI virus was laughable. One person’s concerns about models being self-aware were dismissed by another as “genuinely nonsensical anthropomorphization.”Ping-ponging between the doomers and the skeptics, I was struck by how certain so many people sounded about a deeply uncertain moment. With confident, self-described experts on all sides, it felt impossible to know whom to trust: Is this the end of the world as we know it, or a passing moment of anxiety about a powerful new technology? Maybe the truth of this… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Fox News Host Scoffs at Guest Who Dubs Hasan Piker a New Era ‘Shock Jock’ Li...Fox News host Aishah Hasnie didn’t buy it when one of her guests argued socialist streaming star Hasan Piker is merely a “shock jock” like Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh were back in their radio glory days. Hasnie jumped in during Fox News Live on Saturday and said Piker’s slew of anti-America remarks — including his latest claim this week the USA is “pound for pound” worse than Al-Qaeda — go far beyond “shock jock” territory. A moment earlier, left-wing radio host Leslie Marshall claimed Piker bashes America for attention, not because he means it. “Back in the day, they were called shock jocks, okay. Howard Stern—” Marshall started to say, before Hasnie jumped in. “You think he’s a shock jock?” Hasnie asked about Piker. Marshall continued, “Rush Limbaugh [as well]. I did some shock jock talking, if you will, as a talk show host. And the reason you did it? To make the phones ring, to get ratings, to get attention, and Hasan Piker does that sometimes. I’m not excusing what he says—” “Shock jock is one thing. But saying the US is worse than Al-Qaeda, I think that goes beyond shock,” Hasnie said. Their back-and-forth on Piker comes a few days after his viral interview with Axios where he said the U.S. is worse than Al-Qaeda, at least in boxing terms. And he’s made plenty of similar claims in the past, like when he said the USA “deserved” the 9/11 terrorist attacks, declared he has “no patriotism” in his heart for America, and that he hates the nation, among other examples. Piker also prominently displays a framed newspaper showing the Twin Towers burning right behind him on his shows. His remarks have forced Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) to distance himself from the streamer, right after Piker joined him on the campaign trail during the Democratic primary. On Saturday, Hasnie’s other guest, ex-Bush Administration official Ashley Davis, added she wasn’t shrugging off his comments as shock jock talk, either. “I wish Hasan Piker would leave our country if he hates it so bad,” Davis said.
