The White House has informed CNN that the network will not be included on Air Force One for President Donald Trump's upcoming trip to Knoxville, Tennessee. This decision comes as part of an ongoing dispute over media access, which has First Amendment implications. CNN was replaced by Real America's Voice News, a conservative network, for the president's visit to the University of Tennessee.
The move follows Trump's recent bans on CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from White House grounds, after they returned to the executive complex with TV cameras after a judge temporarily blocked the bans. While the White House has not provided further details, the decision signals a new trend of media restrictions from the administration.
