Trump left inaudible amid White House press ban
After Trump banned CNN and others from the White House, the rest of the TV networks suspended coverage in protest. Leaving the president without audio on his own White House video feed.
President Trump banned certain news organizations, including CNN, from the White House. In response, other TV networks suspended their coverage of the president's daily activities in protest. This left Trump without audio on his own White House video feed, according to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.
The move triggered a rare moment of unity among television networks. Several news media outlets announced they would not cover the president's daily activities while the ban on the trio remains in place, The Hill reported.
The White House press pool, a rotating cast of news outlets that covers the president, has become a battleground over free speech rights between Trump and the media. Trump has shown no signs of backing down, while the media continues to protest the ban.
