White House bars CNN from Air Force One travel to Tennessee
The White House has excluded CNN from traveling on Air Force One during President Donald Trump’s trip to Tennessee for a college football game. CNN, a member of the U.S. network video pool that rotates responsibilities for capturing presidential footage, was replaced on the travel roster by the conservative outlet Real America’s Voice.
This decision follows a period of intense legal and political conflict regarding media access. While a federal judge recently issued a temporary order to restore access for outlets including CNN, MS Now, and Politico after they were banned from White House grounds, the ruling did not explicitly address Air Force One travel or specific pool duties.
During a press exchange at the White House, President Trump defended the move, criticizing CNN and MS Now as 'fake news' and stating that he supports a 'real' press rather than one he deems biased. He also responded sharply to a reporter from MS Now, telling her to 'quiet' when she questioned whether the administration only wanted supportive media in the press pool.
