White House Launches 'Trump TV' as CNN, Politico and MS NOW Sue Over Press Ban

In September 2026, the White House launched a 24/7 channel called "Trump TV" after CNN, Politico and MS NOW were barred from the press pool. The three outlets have sued the Trump administration over the ban.

Networks pulled out of the press pool, and coverage of a new White House helipad event was skipped by major networks. At one White House event, the press pool boycott left Trump barely audible.
