🇺🇸 English

President Donald Trump declared on Friday that he would bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, citing what he characterized as unfavorable coverage and "fake news," and warned that such media bans might proliferatethe latest salvo in an increasingly aggressive response by the president to media reporting he finds displeasing.

唐納德·川普總統於週五宣稱,將禁止CNN、MS NOW及Politico進入白宮,所持理由為其口中之不利報導與「假新聞」,並揚言此類媒體禁令恐將層出不窮——此舉乃總統針對其所不悅之媒體報導日益激進之回應中最新之一擊。

Like numerous other disputes between Trump and news organisationsseveral of which are currently unfolding in the legal arenathis episode may likewise carry implications pertaining to the First Amendment.

如同川普與新聞機構之間諸多其他齟齬——其中若干正於法律場域中展開——此番事件亦可能牽涉第一修正案之相關意涵。

The President announced in a post on his social media platform, effective immediately, "I am banning" CNN, MS NOW, and Politico "from entering the White House, because they keep 'reporting' fake news!"

總統於其社交媒體平台上發文宣告即時生效,「我禁止CNNMS NOWPolitico進入白宮因其持續報導假新聞!」

Minutes later, during an event in the Oval Office, Trump was asked to explain his statement.

數分鐘後於橢圓形辦公室之一場活動中川普被要求就其聲明作出解釋

"In view of the fact that it is, by its very nature, fake news," he remarked.

有鑑於其本質即屬假新聞,」他表示

"Reading and witnessing fake news will, in the end, leave you utterly weary.

閱讀並目睹假新聞終將令你感到厭倦

When you tune in to CNN, it is fake.

當你收看CNN時,那便是假的

This is precisely why its ratings are so abysmal.

此即其收視率之所以低迷之緣故。

When you tune in to MS NOW... that, too, is fake news."

當你收看MS NOW……那亦是假新聞。」

"Yet when you leaf through Politico... the reports they write are utterly spurious.

然而當你翻閱Politico……他們所撰寫的報導盡屬虛妄

And so, among the many news outlets, perhaps others will throw in their lot with them, or perhaps they may yet refine their craft," he remarked.

故而諸多新聞之中或許尚有他人將與之合流,或許他們得以精益求精,」他表示

"But our nation must have honest journalism."

吾國必須擁有誠實的新聞。」

CNN condemned the measure while affirming its support for the White House team and its "fair and accurate reporting."

CNN對該舉措予以譴責,同時申明其對白宮團隊及其「公平和準確的報導」之支持。

"Under the provisions of the United States Constitution, we possess the right to engage in reporting free from governmental obstruction or interference," it stated in a declaration issued on X.

依據美國憲法之規定吾人享有在不受政府阻撓或干預之情形下從事報導之權利,」其於X上所發布之聲明中如是說道

"Should the ban threatened by President Trump be put into effect, such a measure would constitute an unlawful infringement upon that fundamental and constitutionally guaranteed right."

倘若川普總統所威脅之禁令付諸實行則此舉將構成對該項基本且受憲法所保障之權利不法侵害。」

Politico stated that it would "continue to report fairly on this White House and future ones.

Politico聲明其將繼續公平地報導本屆白宮和未來的白宮

We will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights against any attempt to restrict them."

我們將大力捍衛我們的第一修正案權利反對任何限制它們的企圖。」

MS NOW did not immediately respond to an email inquiry regarding the ban.

MS NOW未立即回覆就該禁令所發出的詢問電郵

During his second term, Trump and his administration escalated their efforts, penalizing several media organizations through court and regulatory actions.

於第二任期內川普及其政府變本加厲透過法庭與監管行動懲罰若干媒體機構

Trump also attacked individual journalists in person or on social media, at times with a startlingly personal tone.

川普親自於社交媒體上抨擊個別記者時而措辭之個人化,令人咋舌。

This move came on the heels of the president's decision last year to bar reporters from the Oval Office, Air Force One, and other events, in retaliation for the news organization's decision not to follow his lead in renaming the Gulf of Mexico, a body of water that lies partly within Mexican and other waters.

此舉緊隨總統去年決定將記者擋在橢圓形辦公室空軍一號和其他活動之外以報復該新聞機構決定不跟隨他更改墨西哥灣名稱的決定,該灣部分位於墨西哥和其他水域

Reporters said they would note, in due course, that Trump had ordered it renamed the "Gulf of America."

記者表示他們將在適當時候註明川普已下令將其更名為「美國灣」

The journalists have already filed a lawsuit, and the case remains pending in the judicial process to this day.

記者業已提起訴訟該案迄今繫屬於司法程序之中。

Since his return to office, Trump has separately initiated legal proceedings against numerous different media organizations, among them The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the BBC.

自其重返辦公室以降,川普針對諸多不同媒體機構另行提起法律訴訟所涉者包括《紐約時報》《華爾街日報》以及BBC

His administration has likewise become embroiled in a protracted standoff with ABC over the renewal of its broadcasting license.

其政府捲入與ABC之間就其廣播執照續期事宜所展開之曠日持久對峙

Trump's attempt to bar CNN from the White House is especially conspicuous, in that it threatens to upend the tradition of the five-network press poola contingent that accompanies the president on his travels, shadowing his every word and deed, with the aim of furnishing the American public who elected him, and indeed the world at large, with independent coverage of his actions and interactions.

川普試圖阻撓CNN進入白宮之舉尤為引人側目此舉恐將顛覆由五家電視網組成之聯合採訪團之傳統——該採訪團隨總統出訪全程追蹤其一言一行旨在為選舉他的美國民眾乃至全世界提供關於其行動與互動之獨立報導

In his social media announcement, Trump never once disclosed any specific details as to how the ban would actually be put into effect.

在其社交媒體公告中,川普對於該禁令究竟將如何付諸實施,自始至終未曾披露任何具體細節。

These remarks were made only minutes after Trump addressed the press corps in the Oval Office under the guise of a healthcare event.

此番言論發表之際距川普於橢圓形辦公室以醫療保健活動之名向記者團發表談話僅數分鐘之遙

He was subsequently to lead the accompanying press corps to a golf club in Virginia for a conference and dinner sponsored by his super PAC, and thereafter to spend the weekend at Camp Davidone of the places reporters seldom accompany him.

其後,他擬率領隨行記者團前往弗吉尼亞州之高爾夫俱樂部出席由其超級政治行動委員會贊助之會議暨晚宴繼而於戴維營度過週末——此乃記者鮮少隨行之地之一

"Media organizations ought to refrain from persistently fabricating or disseminating fictitious content and false statements when reporting on the President of the United States, the Trump administration, or the United States of America," Trump wrote.

媒體機構理應避免於報導美國總統川普政府美利堅合眾國之際,持續杜撰傳播虛構內容不實陳述,」川普寫道

"The remaining fake news media organizations will likewise follow suit in droves."

其餘假新聞媒體機構亦將群起效尤。」

During the event, Trump gave heightened expression to the views he holds regarding media organizations of all kinds.

在活動中,川普對各類媒體機構所持之觀點,予以了倍加彰顯。

"The New York Times is nothing but a pretentious fabrication, while The Washington Post is utterly abhorrent," he declared.

「《紐約時報》無非是矯飾虛妄之作,《華盛頓郵報》則令人深惡痛絕,」他如是說道。

A federal judge has already ruled that the government may not penalize journalists for their editorial choices; however, while the appellate court was considering the appeal filed by the Trump administration, it ordered most of the ruling to be stayed.

一名聯邦法官業已裁定政府不得因記者之編輯抉擇而對其施加懲罰;然上訴法院於審酌川普政府所提上訴之際,裁定多數部分暫予中止

Eighteen months on, the case remains unresolved to this day.

歷經十八個月該案迄今仍懸而未決

In Sherrill v. Knight, the federal appellate court held in 1977 that although the White House is under no obligation to open its doors to the news media, once it establishes press facilities for credentialed journalists, it may not deny them access on the basis of the content of their reporting.

在Sherrill訴Knight案中聯邦上訴法院於1977年裁定儘管白宮並無義務向新聞媒體敞開大門惟一旦其為持有證件之記者設立新聞設施即不得以記者報導之內容為由拒絕其進入

The court unanimously held that any denial must serve some sufficiently compelling governmental interest, and that journalists are entitled to notice, an opportunity to respond, and a written final decision.

法院咸認,凡拒斥之舉,皆須裨益於某種足堪折服之政府利益,且記者理當獲致通知、回應之機會暨書面之終局答覆。
