Neutral coverage focuses on the sequence of events: the White House barred CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, legal action followed, and major TV networks then suspended pool coverage. One report says the networks were protesting the ban, while another says the move was in solidarity with CNN. Another account says President Trump defended the action by contrasting a free press with what he called fake news. The reporting also notes that one White House event was affected by the absence of pool coverage.
