Major US TV networks suspended their shared coverage of President Trump after the White House barred CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from its grounds, disrupting public event video coverage.

CNN was prevented from fulfilling its pool duties during Trump's UN trip, prompting Fox News, ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC to jointly halt rotating coverage. 

The networks emphasize the public's right to independent government information and criticize restricting news organizations over their reporting.
