from WND:
Move comes after Trump changes gulf name to ‘America’ and legacy wire service refuses to go along
The White House has announced that it is giving the AP “space” in the Oval Office and on Air Force One to others because the legacy wire service has refused to go along with President Donald Trump’s legal name change of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
And the fact that the White House under President Donald Trump said it would call out and oppose lies pushed by the media, a promise it has already kept several times.

The wire service has fought back, claiming the move violates the First Amendment, but actually it can continue, under the First Amendment, to report what it wants, and the First Amendment does not bestow a special “right” to access to the Oval Office or Air Force One for a specific group or person.
Ordinary citizens, in fact, are not allowed in White House press briefings, nor in Oval Office news events.
A statement from the press office said, “The Associated Press continues to ignore the lawful geographic name change of the Gulf of America. This decision is not just divisive, but it also exposes the Associated Press’ commitment to misinformation.
“While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One. Going forward, that space will now be opened up to the many thousands of reporters who have been barred from covering these intimate areas of the administration. Associate Press journalists and photographers will retain their credentials to the White House complex.:”
