CNN says it was left off Air Force One for Trump’s Saturday trip to a college football game
The White House intentionally excluded CNN from President Donald Trump's Saturday trip to Tennessee for a college football game, marking another media restriction in an ongoing dispute. This decision came after CNN, along with MS NOW and Politico, were banned from the White House grounds by the administration last week. The White House guidance for Trump's trip, issued on Friday, favored Real America’s Voice, a conservative outlet, over CNN.
The situation arose after a U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly temporarily blocked Trump's ban on these media organizations, but his decision did not directly address pool duties or Air Force One. CNN reported it had been scheduled to fly with Trump for the midday game against the University of Texas, but the White House's decision meant no TV pool for the trip. The White House declined to comment on the matter.
