Trump accused of banning reporters weeks before the vote
Original: In My Words: Trump banning reporters because you vote in five weeks
Commentary is circulating accusing Donald Trump of banning reporters just weeks before Americans go to the polls. A columnist from Elon University argues the move targets the press at the moment voters most need information, framing it as an attack on accountability ahead of the election. Critics see it as an attempt to shape coverage in the final stretch of the campaign.
Why now: The US election is about five weeks away, and any restriction on press access by a candidate draws immediate attention.
