AP Photo/Julio Cortez, Associated Press ABC News’s Jonathan Karl involved X’s A.I. bot, Grok, to fact-check his testy exchange with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) on Sunday’s This Week. During Scalise’s appearance, he repeated a Republican talking point claiming President Donald Trump banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House was nothing compared to the “400 press credential” confiscated by former President Joe Biden. “That’s actually not true about Biden,” Karl told Scalise after he made the claim. “The 400 individual reporters who had credentials did not reapply. There was only one that was actually denied a credential. And all of those who didn’t reapply were allowed to come in. They were not banned from the White House. That did not happen!” After the show, Scalise ran to X to post his objection to Karl. “This morning, ABC tried to claim the Biden White House didn’t cut off press access for over 400 journalists. The facts say otherwise…” Scalise wrote above a Fox News graphic and the words, “More than 440 reporter lose press passes after White House changes requirements.” This morning, ABC tried to claim the Biden White House didn’t cut off press access for over 400 journalists. The facts say otherwise… pic.twitter.com/lzghqdhfuk — Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) September 20, 2026 Karl responded to the post, writing, “Hey @grok – is it accurate to say ‘Joe Biden removed the press credentials from over 400 different agencies’ as @SteveScalise said this morning on This Week?” Grok responded, “No. In 2023 the Biden White House tightened hard-pass rules requiring annual renewal, full-time news employment, a DC address, and recent campus access. Hard passes fell from 1,417 to 975 (about 442 fewer). Most holders simply did not reapply; only one application was denied. Day passes stayed available, so access was not barred. It affected individual reporters, not ‘agencies.'” Hey @grok – is it accurate to say “Joe Biden removed the press credentials from over 400 different agencies” as @SteveScalise said this morning on This Week? — Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) September 20, 2026 “So, @grok, only one application was denied. That’s a lot less than 400, correct?” Karl wrote. “And even those who did not apply to renew their hard passes could apply for day passes, right? Nobody was banned, right?” “Yes,” Grok answered. “Only one hard-pass application was denied. The roughly 442 drop came… [TheTopNews] Read More.12 hours ago - Trump Launched Press Ban After Natalie Harp Showed Him Clip of MS NOW Bashing Hi...
(Photo Credits: AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin and Mark Schiefelbein) President Donald Trump announced his ban against CNN, MS NOW, and Politico just hours after executive aide Natalie Harp showed him a clip of MS NOW bashing his administration, according to a Sunday report from The Wall Street Journal. MS NOW’s critical coverage added to months of irritation about how the press has been covering his second term, but the video Harp showed Trump made his frustrations reach a “fever pitch,” the report said. “Behind the scenes, the president has told aides he doesn’t have enough political allies defending him on television and making the case for his second-term achievements, according to people familiar with the matter,” the report continued. “White House spokesman Steven Cheung said Trump’s allies have ‘done an incredible job of getting the message out to voters.'” WSJ’s story — from reporters Brian Schwartz, Meridith McGraw, and Alexander Ward — comes after Trump announced ban on Friday. The president posted on Truth Social: 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’s decision was swiftly condemned by journalists. 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. MS NOW’s Peter Alexander, meanwhile, argued Trump was merely trying to distract his MAGA base from his many “failures” with the ban. The Journal reported Trump’s ban was met with “exasperation” by one senior official, who argued it would “do little to achieve the president’s goal of improving press coverage.”The post Trump Launched Press Ban After Natalie Harp Showed Him Clip of MS NOW Bashing His Administration: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

President Donald Trump said that he plans to make his proposed 250-foot arch in Washington, DC, a “top grade military complex” that holds large stores of weaponry, citing national security reasons and a “strong request” from the US military. Trump added in his Sunday post on Truth Social that the planned “Triumphal Arch” near the National Mall would “have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas.” The president first proposed building the arch last October to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary. The much-criticized project, as currently planned, would tower over most other DC landmarks—the tallest being the Washington Monument, at approximately 555 feet—and block the view of Arlington National Cemetery from the Lincoln Memorial. Three Vietnam War veterans sued the administration to prevent construction of the arch based on the view issue, and also because Trump has not secured the required approval from Congress. Earlier this month, a federal judge ordered the administration to provide 48 hours’ notice before doing any work on the project, but has yet to rule on the merits of the case. Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) called Trump’s new arch plan, “obviously idiotic” as he “clearly expects to lose a lawsuit and therefore wants to set up a pretext to argue that the arch is tied to national security.” Putting a drone launching site directly in the landing path for DCA is a stupid, dangerous, and unworkable idea.Trump clearly expects to lose a lawsuit and therefore wants to set up a pretext to argue that the arch is tied to national security. Which is obviously idiotic. https://t.co/YIMlIm65TR— Rep. Don Beyer (@RepDonBeyer) September 20, 2026 Trump’s latest post represents a significant departure from his former plan for the arch, which included a winged, gilded statue of Lady Liberty and an inscription reading, “One Nation Under God.” The drones and snipers could indeed be a matter of Trump trying to justify the arch as a national security requirement—he applied a similar argument to his unpermitted and unpopular White House ballroom, announcing in March that “the military is building a big complex under the ballroom.” As my colleague Sophie Hurwitz has pointed out, Trump has a long history of using the idea of “national security” to do whatever he wants: threatening to annex Greenland, targeting ICE protesters as terrorists, expanding construction of hyperscale data centers, and… [TheTopNews] Read More.13 hours ago
