"Organizations or individuals who traffic in conspiracy theories, propaganda and lies to spread disinformation will not be tolerated..."

Who'd be in the press room then, if of course, that were itself true?

[RummyChick]

So if you report on Hunter Biden will you be banned for trafficking in conspiracy theories?
