Judge extends temporary block on Trump’s media ban

A federal judge on Thursday briefly extended an order lifting a ban implemented by the White House last month on three new outlets President Trump said should not be allowed to cover him over what he has called "fake news" that puts national security in danger.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets cover the judge’s extension of a temporary block on the Trump media ban, but The Hill treats that ruling as the main item and adds that it involved three outlets the White House had barred. The Guardian US instead foregrounds the courtroom argument, saying a lawyer told the judge Trump was clear the ban was tied to critical coverage; that detail appears only in The Guardian’s extract.
