  "summary": "The White House has launched a 24/7 YouTube channel, dubbed \"Trump TV\", which promises to put its biggest moments all in one place. This move comes days after President Trump barred reporters from three major news outlets - CNN, MSNBC, and Politico - from the White House. According to The Hill, former Vice President Kamala Harris has criticized the president's decision, saying it shows that \"the man is afraid\" of the voice of the people.\n\nThe three news outlets have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming that the restrictions violate their First Amendment rights. A federal court hearing on the lawsuit was set to take place. President Trump has stated that he would \"probably\" allow journalists from the banned outlets back onto White House grounds if the court rules against his decision.\n\nThe White House describes the restrictions as limitations on workspace access rather than an outright ban. Trump has accused the outlets of publishing \"fake news\", \"fiction\", and \"lies\" about his presidency. The dispute has disrupted the traditional White House television pool, prompting the administration to launch its own video stream.",
