White House Excludes CNN From Air Force One for Upcoming Tennessee Trip
By Rhyter Times Desk · 1h ago
The White House has barred CNN from boarding Air Force One for President Trump's scheduled Saturday trip to Tennessee, according to reporting by The New York Times and the New York Post.
The flight restriction comes amid ongoing disputes over press credentials. The New York Times reported that President Trump had previously prohibited CNN and two other news organizations from entering the White House, though a court order issued on Thursday subsequently restored their access.
The New York Post reported that the exclusion represents a new media restriction enacted by the White House, which substituted CNN on the presidential aircraft with the conservative outlet Real America's Voice News.
How outlets are covering this
The White House has prevented CNN from joining President Trump on Air Force One for a Saturday trip to Tennessee, according to reports from The New York Times and the New York Post. The decision follows a Thursday court ruling that had restored White House access to CNN and two other outlets after an earlier ban. CNN's place on the flight was reassigned to the conservative outlet Real America's Voice News.
Shared reporting

- The New York Post focuses on the White House establishing a new media restriction and specifically naming Real America's Voice News, a conservative outlet, as CNN's replacement on the flight.
Why it matters
The move suggests ongoing tensions between the White House and major news organizations over press credentials and travel access, even in the wake of judicial rulings ordering access restored.
