  "summary": "US television networks have staged a revolt against President Donald Trump's decision to ban CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House. The networks, including ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC, have halted their shared television pool coverage of Trump's events in solidarity with the banned outlets. As a result, Trump's opening of a new White House helipad and his trip to the United Nations General Assembly proceeded without live television coverage.\n\nThe banned outlets have also taken legal action against the Trump administration. According to the networks, the public has a vital interest in receiving accurate and independent information about its government, and no administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting.\n\nThe move is seen as an unprecedented test of wills between the Trump administration and the press. Trump's decision to bar the outlets from the White House was seen as an escalation of his long-standing feud with the US media.",
