A coalition of four other networks – ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC, who with CNN form part of a “pool” which take turns providing television coverage of presidential events – said they would not cover events in solidarity with CNN.

It's kind of a testament to how unpopular Trump has become that Fox News would join in on the boycott. I wonder how long they'll keep it up.

In a show of support with the banned outlets, several outlets, including the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Associated Press, said they would not publish or distribute images taken as part of the White House photography pool on Monday, including the president’s departure on Marine One and his events at the United Nations in New York, until midnight eastern. In a statement, the Washington Post described the action as part of a “collective effort”.

Good for them, gold star. Pretty useless though all things considered.

Tinfoil hat theory: Fox is glad to have Trump off their airwaves for a little while because covering his events live isn't a good look due to his increasing dementia and record low attendance for public events.

This IS the correct response.

It's long overdue. This should have been the response last year when the Pentagon started limiting press access and required journalists to sign a pledge to only publish pre-approved information.

100% Agree.

It's not like anything he says is worth listening to anyways. You're probably more informed if you don't listen to Trump speak.

Fox is only joining this because they know they will be banned if Dems win

Still weird that Fox News is smarter about this than eddy sheeran when it's about genocide
