TV pool coverage of White House events has been suspended since Monday, when CNN was barred from the grounds on its assigned pool coverage day. The other four networks in the rotation (ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox) announced they would suspend coverage in response until the situation is resolved.

This mirrors the case brought by the Associated Press last year, when the wire service was restricted from certain White House events and lost its permanent seat in the briefing room, which was reassigned to be shared between two other services. The AP has since regained some access, but remains excluded from key spaces like the Oval Office and Air Force One while the underlying court case continues.OSINTdefender (@sentdefender)As the spate between key U.S. news outlets and the Trump administration progresses, the New York Times has said that they “will not publish or distribute any images taken as a part of the White House still photography pool today.” This follows CNN being barred from participating in their slated TV pool slot today by the White House and the subsequent boycott by major news outlets of White House pool coverage going forward.—  https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2102143012050780248
