All five White House television pool members, including Fox News, agreed to halt pooled coverage of President Trump
This occurred after the administration banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, a move the outlets are now challenging in federal court
The suspension landed Monday, the same day CNN was scheduled to serve as the rotating pool representative inside the White House. Instead of providing the shared camera feed that every network relies on for presidential events, the pool went dark.Fox News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC News issued a joint statement announcing the stand-down, framing it as a defense of independent reporting rather than a favor to any single competitor.
The trigger was straightforward: the Trump administration revoked press credentials for journalists at CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, accusing the three outlets of publishing what the president called "fake news."
The three banned organizations responded by filing a lawsuit the same morning, invoking the First Amendment. The collision between the White House and the press corps now sits in two arenas, the courts and the briefing room, with no clear resolution in sight.
This is the first time I can remember Fox News siding against Trump, effectifvely removing him from his biggest market on cable news.

Perhaps he will go to Newsmax as the news media has removed themselves from Trump, the major news maker in the world...cutting off your nose to spite your face.
