Trump Remarks Go Inaudible

President Donald Trump’s White House event was carried only on the official feed after the five-network television press pool refused to cover it. His ribbon-cutting for a new White House helipad was largely inaudible because Marine One’s engine noise drowned out his remarks without the usual pool microphones. The pool normally provides clean sound and shared video that other newsrooms use to cover public presidential events. The blackout followed Trump’s decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico, which then sued to restore access. The administration said the ban was justified because Trump views the outlets as producing “FAKE NEWS.” The dispute now moves through federal court.
