In response to President Trump's ban on three media outlets, majors TV networks have pulled out of the White House television pool. The move from the five networks that make up the television pool ‒ ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News, in addition to CNN ‒ means a broadcast television feed that is distributed widely for media won't be carried for most of Trump's events. Bryan Boughton, DC bureau chief of Fox News and chair of the television pool, relayed the decision in a Sept. 21 email to pool members. "This follows the White House's position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties," Boughton said in the email, which was obtained by USA TODAY. "There will be no replacement pool put in place." Read more at the link in our bio. 📸: REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque

@brickdon.official Five cameras vanished? Tremendous. I banned three outlets and lost the whole television pool.

@richard_illa4 Wow

@no_political_party_just_free You know nobody really cares. When these news agencies refuse to err a presidential address to the nation that was censorship and blocking the president's First Amendment right. All Trump did was say you can't come into the Oval Office. Please try and make that make sense
