  "summary": "The White House has barred CNN from traveling with US President Donald Trump on a trip to Tennessee. According to Punch and NPR, CNN reporters will not be allowed on Air Force One for the weekend trip. The move is seen as a continuation of the White House's restrictions on certain media outlets, including CNN, which have been in place since last year.\n\nThe White House had previously banned CNN, along with MSNBC and Politico, from White House events, but a judge ordered the administration to restore their access. Despite this, CNN was not included in the White House's daily guidance and press schedule for the trip to Tennessee, with RAV listed as the secondary television correspondent and crew instead, as per Free Press Journal.\n\nThe restrictions on media outlets have raised concerns about the White House's stance on press freedom and the First Amendment. The White House has not commented on the decision to bar CNN from the trip. Trump has a history of criticizing news organizations and has taken an aggressive stance against major news outlets, as reported by Dawn.",
