Television Networks Suspend Pool Coverage Over White House Journalist Bans

By Rhyter Times Desk · 2h ago

Major television news organizations have agreed to suspend pooled coverage of President Trump's events following White House actions to block journalists from reporting, according to accounts from The New York Times and Fox News.

Fox News reported that the joint suspension included FOX News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC News. The coalition halted their shared coverage after an attempted ban targeting CNN.

The New York Times described the networks' collective response as an escalation in a broader standoff between Trump and the White House press corps, reporting that the administration had moved to exclude reporters from Politico and MS NOW alongside CNN.
