Major TV networks stand with CNN, decline to replace its White House pool crew in solidarity

Americas 7 sources 2 countries 10m ago

Major television networks, including ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, and Fox News, have suspended their rotation of White House pool coverage for President Donald Trump in an unprecedented move of solidarity. The suspension follows the Trump administration's decision last week to bar three media outlets—CNN, MS NOW, and Politico—from covering the White House.

In response to the ban, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico filed a lawsuit on Monday against the Trump administration in New York. The legal action asserts that the selective denial of access is a blatant violation of the First Amendment.
