US networks halt Trump coverage after three media outlets banned

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · North America

US television networks on Monday effectively boycotted coverage of President Donald Trump in protest at his decision to ban three leading outlets - CNN, MS NOW and Politico - from the White House. As a result, Trump's opening of his cherished new White House helipad and his trip to the United Nations General Assembly proceeded without live television coverage.
