US News Outlets Barred From White House Event Despite Court Order
Several US news organizations, including CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, were denied access to cover Chinese President Xi Jinping's arrival at a White House state dinner. This occurred despite a court order mandating the lifting of a ban previously imposed by the Trump administration. While some outlets reported the ban was lifted and access restored, others stated CNN and MS NOW were still turned away from the event. President Trump also criticized CNN and MSNBC, suggesting they skipped coverage of Xi's visit due to declining ratings and a lack of credibility.
