"Major television networks agreed to suspend their pooled coverage of President Trump after the White House refused to allow CNN to serve as a pool representative on Monday." Now this is a big deal. The news networks banding together to say no to Trump. Even FOX is joining in.
Bryan Boughton, who runs the Fox News Washington bureau and is the current TV pool chair, says in an email; ”This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.”
“This follows the White House’s position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place.”
