Friday afternoon, it quickly became clear what the media's weekend hyperventilating would be all about when President Trump put this out on Truth Social:

Brace for "constitutional crisis" TDS media to start doing their thing.
Doocy: A senior white house official is telling us tonight that brass at CNN, MSNow and Politico, are being informed this evening, that they can't come to campus starting tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/f3wNUPUoOc

CNN put out this statement after Trump's post:

"Fair and accurate reporting" is what got us.
That's a doozy, CNN! The White House Rapid Response team thought so too, and dropped some receipts proving otherwise:

How many lawsuit settlements has CNN paid out as a result of its "fair and accurate reporting"?
The White House came with receipts https://t.co/f6PQeULZXg

CNN is indeed a joke, except not the "ha ha" kind.
CNN just announced they “stand fully behind” their White House team and their “fair and accurate reporting.”

That’s not a defense. That’s a confession.
They looked at the mountain of hoaxes, corrections, defamation payouts, and narrative collapses and decided the play is still… https://t.co/HyEO0nUFA7
Love it when they bring the receipts. https://t.co/0PyzDkbKJt
