Fox News Media, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and CNN responded to the ban in a rare joint statement, saying “the public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government.”
“No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting,” the outlets added.
The statement came after the White House pool said in a note to subscribers on Monday that “effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.”
It won't make much of a difference. They misreported anything they were told anyway so now they're just free to make stuff up without taking the time to attend the press meeting
