TV Networks to Resume Trump Coverage

“The major networks are set to resume their collective television coverage of President Trump on Sunday, even though the White House blocked CNN from participating in the TV pool over the weekend,” the New York Times reports.

“Throughout the past week, the quintet had suspended the TV pool in an effort to force the administration to reinstate CNN, after Mr. Trump barred its journalists from the White House grounds. The networks went so far as to refuse to air footage of portions of Mr. Trump’s summit with China’s top leader, Xi Jinping.”

“But under a tentative plan that began taking shape late Friday, the other four networks would return to performing pool duties… Each time that CNN comes up in the pool rotation, the group of networks will decide whether to provide a substitute crew.”
