ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox have all joined in protest of the ban. Those networks will not send reporters or camera crews to cover the White House and it's press conferences.

Good for them.

Banning CNN is pretty childish if you ask me and I am not a CNN or MSNOW fan.

Almost as bad as banning X video clips of politicians speaking on the house or senate floor ( The Peoples House) on a political forum. Lol

Difference is, this site is privately owned and there is no democracy therefore rules can be non-democratic and carried out to see fit for the betterment. 

Nothing privately owned about the White House.

I am well aware of that but to not be able to post a video off of X of a politician speaking to the people on a political forum is laughable. Maybe yall should get rid of the political forum. Lol

I'm a very big proponent of doing just that.

Trying these measures first before canning the whole forum.

Other U.S. presidents have restricted or limited news media access, but physically barring and revoking hard press passes for specific news organizations from the White House complex is an extreme action. [

• Past White House Access: Historically, hard press passes granting physical access to the White House complex were rarely revoked except for explicit security threats, with no major record of credential revocations penalizing outlets for political coverage prior to modern administrations.
