The wire service has repeatedly signaled that it is preparing a legal challenge. As one AP staffer remarked on condition of anonymity, “It’s hard to come up with a clearer case of viewpoint discrimination.”
Good. I’m glad they’re not just going to silently accept this shit. The Associated Press is one of the most reliable and well respected news sources in the world. I’m hoping Trump’s hissyfit backfires tremendously.
Ah yes, a legal challenge against an administration that has proven they don’t care about the law and will do whatever they want with no consequences.
Short of direct action, nothing will come of this or any other lawsuit against them. Someone needs to remove the offenders from the field, period. Anything short of that is useless.
As much as direct action is fun, this is just a lie. Lawsuits have already changed the Trump administration’s behaviour. Sure, they are still doing tons of illegal shit to see if they get called on it. But federal judges’ rulings have called them on it and even served as effective push back in many cases.

Regardless, I like the message a lawsuit would send. Fucking with the press takes things to a new level.
The current admin is largely following court orders at the moment
There is still a fight to be had. Don’t just give up in advance

It’s just how bureaucracy works. They have to tick each box.
