Two prominent conservative points of sale – Fox News and Newsmax – call on the White House to turn its ban on the Associated Press about the refusal of the outlet to use 'Gulf of America'.
Both stores attracted a letter organized by De Witte Huis Correspondents' Association after the reporters and photographers of the AP were excluded from events of the White House and from traveling on board Air Force last week.
The prohibition continued on Friday, with pressing staff that the reporter of the AP and photographer kept to enter an event in the dining room of the state covered by the White House swimming pool, of which the wire service is always a part.
“We can understand President Trump's frustration because the media have often been unfair, but Newsmax still supports the AP's right, as a private organization, to use the language it wants to use in its report,” Newsmax said In a statement to the New York Times.
The continued: “We fear that a future administration might not like something that writes newsmax and tries to forbid us.”
'THe is why news organizations such as Newsmax and Fox News support the first amendment rights of the AP, although we cannot agree with the editorial position from time to time, “Newsmax said.
Fox News did not comment why the conservative network registered with the letter.
'The first amendment prohibits the government to control how news organizations make editorial decisions. Any attempt to punish journalists for those decisions is a serious violation of this constitutional protection, “read the letter, according to the status news of Oliver Darcy.

President Donald Trump continued to complain about the Associated Press' refusal to use 'Gulf of America' during comments to the Republican Governors Association Thursday evening in Washington, DC
While the negotiations take place behind the scenes, Trump doubled several times this week on the ban.
During his Thursday evening speech for the Republican Governors Association, he hit the AP – a wire service with an influential style guide – with a 'radical left -wing organization'.
'Treats us all very much. And they refused to recognize the Golf, formerly, from Mexico, is called the Gulf of America, “said Trump.
“We keep them out of news conferences, now I know for sure that they will be charged and maybe they will win, it doesn't matter, it's just something we feel strong about,” the president added.
Trump gestured to secretary of the interior Doug Burgum and said that the former governor of North Dakota was a 'great believer' in the name change.
“And the majority of the coastline is 85 percent of them on our ground, but I thought it would be appropriate – I never understood from the Gulf of Mexico,” Trump said.
“It is called the Gulf of America,” he added.
On Tuesday, during a Q&A with the Mar-A-Lago press, he was asked what should happen to change ideas.

Trump complained to reporters that the AP “refuses to go with what the law is and what happens.”
“It is now called the Gulf of America. It is no longer called the Gulf of Mexico, “said Trump. “I have the right to do it.”
“They don't affect us and I don't think I am having them favors – that's the way life works,” he joked.
Trump was also asked if he objected to a part of the terminology of the AP that objects objects to and that hefty liberal claims.
Terms such as 'gender -confirming care' – how the AP says that reporters must refer to sex changes for transgender people – have received complaints from conservatives.
Moreover, the choice of style to provide the word 'black' for African-Americans, but leaving 'white' in the style, has irritated Trump cummer, just like the AP frowning on journalists who use the term 'illegal immigrant' in their stories .
“Well, I think some of the sentences they want to use are ridiculous,” Trump introduced on Tuesday.
“And I think they were outdated to be outdated,” he went on. 'Especially in the past three weeks. Because many things have happened in the last three weeks. '
