Trump Unintelligible or Off-Camera; US News Networks Show Solidarity with Boycotted CNN
During a helicopter landing ceremony at the White House, President Donald Trump’s audio was not picked up by microphones, leaving only helicopter noise audible. Major US news networks—ABC, CBS, Fox News, NBC, and CNN—were absent because Trump had recently boycotted CNN, Politico, and MS NOW for spreading what he termed fake news. The other networks declined to cover CNN’s assigned duties in solidarity, resulting in no footage of Trump’s trip to New York for the UN General Assembly. Photographers from agencies like AFP, AP, and newspapers including The Washington Post and The New York Times also withheld images in support of the boycott.
