## White House launches Trump TV
The administration started a 24/7 YouTube livestream called Trump TV showing President Trump's speeches, bill signings, and other moments.
## Timing follows media bans
Trump TV launched just days after the White House banned CNN, MS Now, and Politico from accessing the building.
## Unfiltered greatest hits
White House digital strategy head Kaelan Dorr said the channel will air Trump's greatest hits unfiltered, claiming the press reported inaccurately on the administration's accomplishments.

> The press, in some cases, reported inaccurately or not at all on the Administration's many record breaking accomplishments on behalf of all Americans.
## Newsom calls it state-run TV
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the channel as state-run television, while CNN, MS Now, and Politico sued the administration over the ban.
## Networks unite against ban
ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, and NBC released a joint statement condemning the White House's decision to ban a news organization over its reporting.
## Key takeaway

The White House is using YouTube to broadcast Trump content directly to the public, bypassing traditional media outlets it has restricted from access.
