Quick Summary

CNN reports being excluded from boarding Air Force One during President Trump's trip to a college football game in Tennessee on Saturday. This exclusion is part of an ongoing dispute between the administration and media outlets regarding access rights. Typically, CNN would have been part of the U.S. network video pool responsible for capturing and sharing video coverage of presidential trips; however, Real America’s Voice, a conservative outlet, was selected instead.

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.
