USA: The major American television networks turn their backs on the White House

In a boycott of television coverage of Donald Trump's participation in events and happenings, the major American television networks participating in the White House television pool are reacting to the Trump administration's decision to exclude CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO from the White House, according to an email sent to the TV pool subscribers by Fox News' chief of staff in Washington, Brian Bouton. "We inform you that, from today, the TV pool will not cover events designated as the president's pool coverage," Bouton wrote in the email, which was widely published, although it was marked as "off the record." "This follows the position of the White House which prevents CNN from fulfilling the duties assigned to it within the pool. There will be no replacement for the pool." The term "pool" refers to the group of journalists and television partners who travel with the president. What will happen with the coverage of Trump's presence at the UN General Assembly and the meeting with Xi This move may make the transmission of images and video of President Donald Trump's activities at the UN General Assembly this week more difficult for the American public. The television pool provides images of events for which space restrictions do not allow any medium to send its own television crew, with the material subsequently being widely distributed to news organizations. CNN was scheduled to cover for the television pool today. However, in the email regarding the daily schedule sent to journalists, which the White House sent on Sunday night, there was no mention of the TV pool. The pool consists of the five major television networks ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and Fox News. Instead, the White House referred to Hearst, which has local television stations across the country, as a secondary television crew in Washington, and for the president's trip to New York, it designated Real America’s Voice as the secondary television crew. It was not immediately clear to what extent these media outlets, which are outside the traditional structure of the television pool of the five major networks, would provide their material to other media. What preceded this Trump announced on Friday that he is banning "with immediate effect" access for the three media outlets to the White House, accusing them of broadcasting "FAKE NEWS." Simultaneously, he threatened to extend these restrictions to other news outlets, including the New York Times and The Washington Post. The administration began implementing the restrictions on Saturday, when journalists from the three organizations were not permitted to enter the White House premises. POLITICO, CNN, and MS NOW filed a lawsuit on Monday demanding the immediate restoration of access for their journalists, from whom the intelligence service had revoked their credentials. Trump, in his post on Truth Social on Monday morning, described his decision as an "attack on FAKE NEWS," which, he wrote, "have spread like cancer in our beloved America." "They are corrupt, deliberate, disseminated, fully coordinated, and completely out of control," he wrote. "They are a threat to our national security and must stop, NOW!"
