The Press Pool's Protest: A Crack in the Facade of Access The White House's ban on CNN from participating in the television press pool has left a gaping hole in the coverage of President Trump's events.
This decision is more than just a news organization's access to a single event; it's a symptom of a larger disease that threatens the very idea of a free press.
The other four members of the TV press pool – NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox – have boycotted covering Trump's events in solidarity with CNN.
