00:01All top five major U.S. broadcasters said on Monday that they would halt their coverage of
00:07the White House. The boycott comes after three other outlets, CNN, MSNOW and Politico, were
00:13denied access to the White House and had their press passes confiscated because of reporting
00:18Trump considered so-called fake news. Other news outlets also took steps in solidarity.
00:24Several news organizations, including the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse,
00:30The Washington Post and The New York Times, decided not to publish photographs of presidential
00:35events on Monday. As a result, Trump's opening of the new White House helipad and his trip to the
00:41United Nations General Assembly proceeded without live television coverage. On Monday, CNN, MSNOW
00:49and Politico said they all decided to sue the Trump administration, calling the ban a direct
00:54assault on the First Amendment.
