The White House press pool on Monday announced it has suspended its televised coverage of President Donald Trump after the White House pulled CNN from its assigned pool coverage duties this week.
“Effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President,” Fox News’ Washington bureau chief Bryan Boughton, acting chair of the TV pool consortium, said in a note to TV pool members on Monday.
Boughton on Monday said the other pool coverage, which includes print and radio, would continue as normal. “We will provide updates as this situation develops,” he added.
Eh.
American media has spent the last decade utterly failing the American people. I’m not going to place too much faith in them.
This action is going to affect very, very few people: it is most useful to generate more headlines.
Pools: 2 Trump: 0
(Not my joke - forget where I saw it)
Fox News’ Washington bureau chief Bryan Boughton, acting chair of the TV pool consortium, said in a note to TV pool members on Monday.
When Fox News won’t put Trump on TV, you know it’s something.
They know they will be first to get kicked out of the press pool if the wind changes direction.
