DOJ probes TV networks

The Department of Justice is investigating ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC over their decision to not cover select White House events following Trump's ban on CNN, Politico and MS NOW.

“Members of the television press pool have proudly boycotted covering White House events. Group boycotts among commercial competitors can violate the Sherman Act”

TV networks boycott White House coverage

ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC refused to replace CNN when it was removed from rotation after Trump banned CNN, Politico and MS NOW from White House events.

Boycott continues despite access issues

Politico reporters were blocked from covering trips despite regaining credentials, while the Trump administration argues they lack guaranteed access to specific locations.
