Trump Goes Off Air: US TV Networks Suspend Coverage After White House Bans CNN The latest escalation in the conflict between President Donald Trump's administration and major news outlets has brought television pool coverage of presidential events to a standstill.
This week, US TV networks – including ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, and NBC – collectively suspended their pool duties after the White House blocked CNN from carrying out its scheduled tasks.
The move is less about access being denied to news organizations than it is a brazen attempt by the administration to dictate what stories are told and how they're presented.
