The White House has excluded CNN from covering President Trump’s trip on Air Force One, replacing them with conservative outlet Real America's Voice News. This decision comes amid ongoing disputes over media access and restrictions imposed by the administration, which previously banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House grounds but had temporarily lifted those bans due to a judge’s ruling. The article highlights the tension between press freedoms and executive branch actions regarding media coverage of government events.

Story summary
On September 25, 2026, the White House barred CNN from flying with President Donald Trump on Air Force One for his trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, on September 26, where he was scheduled to attend a college football game. This decision followed a previous ban by Trump against CNN and other outlets like MS NOW and Politico from covering his daily activities at the White House. Despite a judge’s order restoring access to the White House grounds for these networks, the ruling did not address Air Force One pool duties. The spot meant for CNN was instead given to Real America's Voice News, a conservative network. This move escalates an ongoing dispute over media freedoms and highlights concerns about First Amendment implications.
