White House bars CNN from travelling with Trump on Air Force One

The long-running conflict between the Trump White House and major U.S. media outlets has escalated once again, with the administration barring CNN from accompanying President Donald Trump on an Air Force One trip to Tennessee this Saturday. CNN was originally listed to join the presidential travel pool for Trump’s visit to Knoxville, where he is scheduled to attend a high-profile college American football matchup between the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas at Neyland Stadium. However, a revised media pool schedule released by the White House on Friday night omitted CNN entirely, with no other outlet named to take its place on the trip.
