President Bans Major News Outlets
Una de las mayores preguntas que nos han hecho y
que les hemos hecho a nuestras
fuentes desde que el presidente anunció que prohibía a CNN, MS
Now y Politico cubrir su
administración el viernes fue:
¿por qué ahora? El presidente se ha quejado de
cobertura negativa durante décadas,
mucho antes de ocupar un cargo político.
Entonces, ¿por qué está dando este paso para impedir que los medios cuya cobertura no le
gusta lo cubran? Bueno, nuestras fuentes les dicen a mi colega Kevin
Liptak y a mí que la semana pasada, la asesora cercana del presidente, Natalie
Harp, a quien se ve a menudo con él en el Despacho
Oval o en el Air Force
One, le mostró gráficos de cobertura negativa
de Politico.
Entre eso y la cobertura, los clips de TV que también vio el presidente,
se enfureció, lo cual según nos dicen llevó a que prohibiera estos
a los medios cubrirlo el viernes.
Es una medida que realmente tomó por sorpresa a mucha gente del Ala Oeste, y
ellos mismos se sorprendieron cuando el presidente anunció que
estaba vetando
a esos medios. Ahora, cuando se trata de CNN
y de que el presidente prohíba
la entrada de CNN a la Casa Blanca, el acceso al Air Force One, el
pool televisivo, que incluye a los principales medios, Fox News, CBS,
ABC, NBC y CNN, se han unido todos, y
han suspendido el pool televisivo, lo que significa que por el momento,
being, the president will not have a camera
ni reporteros de un
medio importante, un importante canal de televisión, cubriéndolo.
Eso ocurre mientras se dirige a Nueva York el lunes para la Asamblea General de las Naciones
Unidas y también antes de su importante visita de Estado a Washington
con Xi Jinping, todos los actos que sabemos que el presidente valora que sean
retransmitidos por televisión.

Original transcript (English)
One of the biggest questions that we've gotten asked and that we've asked our sources ever since the president announced that he was banning CNN, MS Now, and Politico from covering his administration on Friday was,
why now? The president has complained about negative coverage for decades, long before he was in political office. So why is he taking this step to block outlets whose coverage he doesn't like from covering him? Well, our sources tell my colleague Kevin
Liptak and I that last week, the president's close aide, Natalie Harp, who is often seen with him in the Oval Office or on Air Force One, showed him graphics of negative coverage from Politico.
Between that and coverage, TV clips that the president also saw, he was infuriated, which is what we're told led him to ban these outlets from covering him on Friday. It's a move that actually caught a lot of people in the West Wing off guard, and they were surprised themselves when the president announced that he
was banning those outlets. Now, when it comes to CNN and the president banning CNN from coming into the White House, from accessing Air Force One, the TV pool, which are all the major outlets, Fox News, CBS,
ABC, NBC, and CNN, have all banded together, and they have suspended the TV pool, which means that for the time being, the president will not have a camera and reporters from a major outlet, a major television outlet, covering him.
That comes as he is headed to New York on Monday for the United Nations General Assembly and also ahead of his big state visit in Washington with Xi Jinping, all events that we know the president values having broadcast on television.
