White House Excludes CNN from Air Force One Amid Media Standoff

The White House has escalated its conflict with the news media by blocking CNN from traveling aboard Air Force One. The network was scheduled to accompany President Trump on a trip to Tennessee, but was subsequently excluded from the press pool.

This action follows a broader standoff between the White House and CNN, which has led to the TV pool going dark. Despite the exclusion, network leaders reportedly believe an indefinite suspension of coverage is unsustainable, suggesting a continued push for access. The move highlights ongoing tensions between the administration and certain news outlets.
