The White House has introduced a new rule limiting journalists’ access to official events, allowing only select reporters regular entry while others need special approval.

Officials claim it’s to “streamline operations,” but media groups call it a blow to transparency and a step backward for democracy. Critics warn that restricting access weakens accountability and the public’s right to know.

As one journalist said, “Democracy doesn’t fear questions — it thrives on them.”
Because limiting the press isn’t just restricting access — it’s restricting truth.
