White House TV Pool Resumes Filming After Court Overturns Media Ban
The primary White House television pool has resumed filming administration events following a court ruling that temporarily overturned a Trump administration ban on CNN. This development ends an effective TV blackout of coverage of the president, which had occurred during the UN general assembly. The pool, comprising NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox News, had previously ceased recording and transmitting White House footage on Monday in solidarity with CNN, MS Now, and Politico.
These outlets had been banned from the building by Trump, who cited their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS as the reason for the exclusion. The resumption of filming by the television pool marks the end of this unprecedented suspension of standard media operations at the White House.
