Here's the irony of all ironies about this situation. The head of the White House Correspondents' Association is a reporter named Jacqui Heinrich. What's the big deal about that? She happens to be the Chief White House correpondent for Fox News, the last place you'd expect to hear any criticism of the current White House occupant.
But even she was forced to issue a strongly worded statement condemning the action.
They say politics makes strange bedfellows. If so, there's your proof.
She may be critical of Trump on this, but let's be honest, as head of the White House Correspondents Association, she doesn't have much choice. What is more important is how Fox News Network is reporting this. Apparently Fox referred to this ban of CNN, MSNow and Politico as "Trumps latest press tussle.." Guess it is no big deal after all..

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House
I notice CNN didn't cover Trump's speech to the UN today. MS Now did as did FOX and it was also on the CBC and CTV news channels.
I ended up watching “it” on BBC America, which also had decent follow up reporting. The Angry Orange sure can bring a room down, not one positive thing to say, and his Super Intelligence is more like Stupor Intelligence, I’m just waiting for all his tech toadies to get in line on this one.

White House Launches Trump TV Amid Media Ban
To no one's surprise, the numbers for Trump TV are so low at some points, there are more people riding the subway than watching this idiocy. Not that they're likely to admit it.
"It opened to a paltry 8,000 viewers, peaked at 8,500, then collapsed by more than half just 90 minutes later and cratered below 1,000 by 6 a.m. on Tuesday, as the morning news shows it was supposed to contend with got underway."

Trump TV Disaster Deepens After Nightmare Debut
So in the last couple of days I have checked out Trump TV a few times and all I’ve seen is old, tired, monotone speeches. No wonder it’s a dud, he’s pretty boring and he can’t read his teleprompter that well. I see this going nowhere fast. Yawn. Surprised it even got 8,500 viewers.

Does this count as a partial victory?
Judge orders White House to restore access to CNN, MS NOW and Politico. Reporters still blocked

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House
This is an odd ruling. Why is it temporary? Is it unconstitutional or not? And CNN, MS NOW cameras can go in the White House but not their reporters? Isn't that what Trump sort of wants? He craves still to be on TV all the time but he doesn't want to be bothered or deal with reporters who he feels treat him unfair.
So he gets the cameras and microphones back but not the reporters that bother him. For now at least, he wins again, and still gets to punish CNN, MS NOW and Politico...

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House
I can't see this being allowed to stand on constitutional grounds. And what's to stop them from just sending other (non-banned) reporters there now that they're allowed back in?

Re: Trump bans CNN, MS Now and Politico from White House
Now it sounds like the judge did rule that CNN reporters and the others be allowed back in the White House. So far it is the the White House (Trump) that is not complying to let these reporters in. Trump is welcoming Chinese leader Xi to the White House in a few minutes. Why is everything with the US government always filled with so much needless drama?

And now he's outright defying the judge's ruling, which tells you everything you need to know on how he feels about obeying the law.

There's enough looting going on that deserves coverage; journalists shouldn't have time for these kinds of 'media opportunities"
