Your daily horoscope: May 9, 2025

ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Someone you meet on your travels will catch your eye and maybe your heart as well.

White House Implements New Media Policy, Limiting Wire Services' Access

The White House has introduced a controversial media policy that significantly restricts access for wire services such as the Associated Press, Reuters, and Bloomberg. This move comes in the wake of a federal court ruling that found the administration had violated free speech rights by previously barring the Associated Press from covering presidential events.

Under the new policy, wire services will no longer have guaranteed spots in the press pool for limited-space events, such as those held in the Oval Office or aboard Air Force One. Instead, they will be grouped with print reporters, rotating for just two available slots among dozens of outlets. The policy also grants the press secretary discretion over the composition of the press pool, raising concerns about potential viewpoint discrimination.

Critics argue that this policy undermines press freedom and limits the public's access to unbiased, real-time reporting. The White House Correspondents’ Association and representatives from wire services have expressed disappointment, emphasizing the vital role these agencies play in informing communities across the globe.

This development has sparked a broader debate about the balance between government control and media independence in a democratic society.
