CNN9 reported that in the past week, Vice President Pence ’s office banned health experts from the White House New Crown Working Group from accepting interviews with CNN and asked CNN to broadcast the White House press conference in full. For reasons such as “the press conference is too long”, CNN usually broadcasts only the parts that Trump attended. According to CNN reports, authoritative figures including National Health Center expert Anthony Fudge and the White House New Crown Affairs Coordinator Box have been banned from participating in CNN programs in the past seven days.
The White House New Crown Outbreak Press Conference is usually divided into such parts as Trump ’s speech, answering reporter ’s questions, Pence and New Crown Working Group ’s update and answering reporter ’s questions, etc. The total duration is often More than two hours.
CNN said that the attitude of the Vice President ’s Office is: “When you include these experts when you broadcast the press conference, expect them to be on the show.”
CNBC reported in the report that this reflects the increased tension between the White House and CNN, and also reflects the widespread entanglement of the US media when broadcasting the White House press conference-the press conference took too long. The epidemic message is far softer than the outside world, and Trump often uses the exposure of the press conference to criticize his political opponents.
