ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News and CNN, the five networks that make up the White House television pool, have stopped their coverage in support of CNN. The decision follows President Donald Trump's move to bar journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House over the weekend. In a September 21 email, Fox News bureau chief Bryan Boughton, who chairs the pool, said there would be no replacement pool. As a result, no TV crew will travel with Trump to New York for the UN General Assembly on Monday. The three outlets have also filed a federal lawsuit, citing First Amendment and due process violations.
