Former WHCA president on Trump's press ban: 'An attack on one outlet is an attack on everyone'

President Donald Trump withdrew White House press credentials from three news organizations, prompting a coordinated response from television networks on Monday. In reaction to the ban, several media outlets announced they would refuse to cover the president's daily activities until the credentials of the affected trio are restored.

The boycott disrupted a White House event, leaving the president addressing a room without the television press pool present. Critics of the administration reacted with amusement to the situation, noting that the president was effectively speaking without media coverage as a consequence of the retaliatory press action.
