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.
This action is going to affect very, very few people: it is most useful to generate more headlines.
