White House Blocks CNN From Air Force One on September 25, 2026

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ The Squirrel's Take
By yanking CNN's seat on Air Force One and restoring it only under court order, the administration turned press access into a legal football.
๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters
This escalation could set a precedent for the White House to selectively exclude reporters, weakening independent coverage of the presidency.

The White House barred CNN from traveling on Air Force One, escalating tensions with news media. A judge later restored access for CNN and other outlets. This sets a precedent for selective exclusion of reporters, weakening independent coverage of the presidency.
