What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

President Donald Trump revoked press privileges from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. The three outlets were banned after Trump expressed anger regarding their coverage of him. While the five outlets sharing TV pool duty issued a joint statement regarding the decision, television media outlets in the White House TV press pool refused to provide pool coverage on Monday. Trump also launched a counter-offensive by creating a state-run propaganda media channel called Trump TV.
