All major TV networks END Trump on-camera coverage as bitter battle over media ban explodes

That just means those who care will find that kind of news elsewhere, but since most of them were doing so anyway; those who got their news from the major TV networks were in the market for anti-Trump propaganda, so no change there.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump's visit to the UN General Assembly will not be televised by the major US broadcasters on Monday as they band together to boycott his ban on CNN and MS NOW.

Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC, collectively known as the TV pool, are protesting the White House and have decided to not dispatch cameramen or reporters to cover the president on Monday.

This means that Trump's trip to New York for the United Nations General Assembly meeting on Monday will go unaired on the major networks.

Still, the conservative outlet Real America's Voice (RAV) will be on hand to stream the event from the UN while local TV operator Hearst will cover the president's White House events.

Fox News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton, who serves as TV pool chair and is responsible for the logistics of presidential coverage, confirmed the decision to not send any TV news personnel to the UN in an email sent out on Monday morning.

'This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President,' Boughton writes.

'This follows the White House's position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place.'

It is unclear when the major broadcasters will resume coverage of the president.

CNN was previously scheduled to serve as the TV pool crew on Monday, but that was before Trump banned that outlet, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.

However, the official daily guidance sent out by the White House on Sunday stated that there would be no TV pool on Monday, leaving CNN's rotation off the list.

Trump has also threatened to take action against the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Trump banned the outlets on Friday, calling them 'fake news' and lashing out at their critical coverage of his administration.

'It's about basic fairness,' Vice President JD Vance said of the ban on Monday.

'They can still report. They still have the access to free speech. They're just not going to get an office in the White House anymore.'

When reporters from the banned outlets appeared at the White House for work over the weekend, some had their press passes revoked.

The major broadcasters coalesced around the banned outlets and issued a blistering statement against the president's decision.

1 No doubt the networks are feeling quite smug over their mean girls play, but I have a feeling this will not turn out to be the totally genius plan they think it is. Have they just just made themselves irrelevant? Who's up for a Bud Light?

8 Video of Trump was usually with the sound off and a talking head deliberately misstating what he said so no loss there.

9 They'd already done this back with the vote fraud reveal.

Nice to see it official and damning. Like they were going to broadcast anyone badmouthing the UN.

Bye. Don't forget to take the condiments out of the fridge before the power goes out.

10 How will they fill in all the time, without all the Trump-bashing?

Bashing everyone who ever said something nice about Trump, without actually mentioning his name?
