White House media ban faces long odds, experts say

President Donald Trump has moved to ban several news outlets from the White House because of his dislike for their coverage. According to four legal experts speaking to Reuters, this action likely runs afoul of U.S. legal prohibitions against viewpoint discrimination by the government. Consequently, these experts suggest that the media ban faces long odds of being legally sustainable under current laws protecting against government discrimination based on the specific viewpoints expressed by the press.
