The primary White House television pool has resumed filming administration events after a court ruling temporarily overturned a Trump administration ban on CNN a day earlier.
With the pool still inactive on Thursday afternoon, that meant that a presidential event, a summit with Xi Jinping, China’s president, did not receive video coverage on the leading television networks.
The journalists were blocked despite a ruling earlier in the day from a federal judge who granted a request by CNN, MS Now and Politico to force the White House to restore their access for the next two weeks while the case plays out.

The article, shortened and in plain language
Trump’s media ban resulted in an effective TV blackout of coverage of the president during the UN general assembly.
The primary White House television pool has resumed filming administration events after a court ruling temporarily overturned a Trump administration ban on CNN a day earlier.
The pool – which also includes NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox News – ceased recording and transmitting White House footage on Monday, in solidarity with CNN, MS Now and Politico, which had been banned by Trump from the building over what he said was “their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS.”‘reporting’ disputed reporting.
With the pool still inactive on Thursday afternoon, that meant that a presidential event, a summit with Xi Jinping, China’s president, did not receive video coverage on the leading television networks.
Tensions between the media and the administration were further exacerbated on Thursday evening when journalists for CNN and MS Now were denied access to the White House state dinner in honor of Xi. The journalists were blocked despite a ruling earlier in the day from a federal judge who granted a request by CNN, MS Now and Politico to force the White House to restore their access for the next two weeks while the case plays out.
