The White House has banned the Associated Press (Left bias) from the Oval Office over AP's refusal to use "Gulf of America." 

Key Details: On January 20, President Donald Trump issued an executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America," saying the Gulf shares borders between Mexico and the United States. The AP has not changed its stylebook entry for Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America," and was blocked from attending two of President Trump's press availabilities for this reason.

Key Quotes: The actions “were plainly intended to punish the AP for the content of its speech,” wrote Jule Pace, AP's Executive Editor. "The AP is prepared to vigorously defend its constitutional rights and protest the infringement on the public’s right to independent news coverage of their government and elected officials.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “We reserve the right to decide who gets to go into the Oval Office."

For Context: In its 1972 Branzburg vs. Hayes ruling, the Supreme Court found that journalists have no right to insist on greater access than the general public. Journalists, however, do have a right not be to retaliated against.

How The Media Covered It: The New York Times (Lean Left bias) noted that the AP is accusing the White House of violating the First Amendment and freedom of the press. Some sources on the right, such as the Washington Times (Lean Right bias), view the AP as hating Trump.
