Trump’s media feud takes another turn with CNN left off Air Force One trip

The White House has indicated that CNN will not be joining the media pack traveling with US President Donald Trump on his latest trip. According to the South China Morning Post, CNN was replaced by Real America's Voice News, a conservative network, for the president's trip to Knoxville, Tennessee. Trump is scheduled to attend a college football game between the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas.

The move is the latest development in an ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and certain media outlets, including CNN. Last week, Trump banned journalists from CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House grounds, but a US District Judge temporarily struck down the ban, allowing the organisations to return to the executive complex.

The White House's decision to exclude CNN from the Air Force One trip has implications for the media's access to the president. The South China Morning Post reports that the issue of pool access was still unclear, with the judge's ruling not directly addressing the matter.
