The trump White House has implemented new rules to control press coverage by restricting the White House Correspondents' Association's influence. This move has raised concerns about press freedom and bias, coinciding with a lawsuit filed by The associated press against the administration for barring its reporters. The inclusion of fringe media figures into press briefings has drawn criticism and comparisons to press control seen in authoritarian regimes.
