The primary White House television pool has resumed filming and transmitting footage of administration events, after a court ruling temporarily overturned a Trump administration ban that had barred CNN from the building.
The pool, which also includes NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox News, had ceased recording and transmitting White House footage the previous day in an unprecedented show of solidarity with CNN, MS Now and Politico, all of which had been barred from White House premises. The administration said the outlets' removal followed disputes over what it characterized as inaccurate reporting.
A brief blackout
The joint decision by the pool outlets to halt coverage resulted in an effective television blackout of presidential coverage during the United Nations General Assembly, a period when the White House would typically receive heavy press attention. The blackout ended after the court ruling restored access for the banned outlets, at least temporarily.
The episode highlights ongoing tension between the Trump administration and segments of the White House press corps over access and coverage. It remains to be seen whether the court's ruling will be appealed or whether further disputes over press access will follow in the coming weeks.
