Earlier this year a Federal District court judge ruled that Trump had to allow the Associated Press into his press briefings after he kicked out their reporters because they wouldn’t refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
Now the three-judge Court of Appeals for the District Court of Washington, D.C., ruled that he could limit what members of the press he spoke to, and it basically said he could pick the press that covered his events by their ideology.
The vote was 2-1. The one was a judge who had been appointed by Obama.
The two Trump judges also ruled that it was ok to cut federal funding to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice of America. That ruling was overturned by what is called an en banc hearing where all the District Court judges in that particular district rule one the issue.
