  "account": "US President Donald Trump launched a new helipad on the White House South Lawn on Monday, but his remarks were inaudible to viewers as a helicopter's noise drowned them out. This came after major TV networks, including ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC, suspended their shared television pool coverage of Trump's events, following Trump's decision to ban CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House grounds. The New York Times joined the protest by not distributing photographs taken as part of its still photography pool, in solidarity with the affected news organizations. The television pool and the White House media ban came as CNN, MSNBC, and Politico filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that their First Amendment rights were violated by the revocation of their credentials.",
