The article, shortened and in plain language
US President Donald Trump says he is banning three news outlets from the White House due to what he calls unfavourable coverage.
CNN, MSNOW, Politico and the National Press Club did not at once respond to requests for comment.
Last year, he banned the Associated Press from the usual pool of reporters that cover his movements because the news agency did not adopt Trump’s preferred name for the Gulf of Mexico, which Trump has instructed executive branch workers to refer to as the Gulf of America.
Since returning to office, Trump has pursued other legal action against a variety of different outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the BBC.

You are reading our version, not theirs.
This is 7NEWS's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with
verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives
that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure
this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.

How this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it
No other newsroom we read has filed on this event, so there is nothing to compare it with yet.
Also covered by The West Australian. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is
nothing of theirs to measure here.
