DOJ investigating TV networks over suspension of press pool after Trump media ban
The Justice Department is investigating whether the major TV networks violated antitrust laws after they briefly suspended the TV press pool system in response to President Trump's decision to ban three news organizations from the White House.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center on a Justice Department antitrust investigation into TV networks over suspended White House pool coverage. The New York Times and Newsweek frame the story in broad terms, while the Washington Post is the only one to name the five networks, Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC, and to describe the inquiry as a sharp escalation.
