lol. NYMag: On Friday, President Trump, upset that reporters are not covering his presidency as the unalloyed triumph it obviously is, banned CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House. The sudden prohibition meant that CNN, which was the network scheduled to provide TV-pool coverage on Monday, could not do so. And in a rare act of press solidarity, no other network, including Fox News, stepped in to replace them. This meant that the White House was stuck providing its own live video coverage of the ceremony to debut Trump’s new White House helipad on Monday afternoon. Predictably, that coverage was a debacle.
