White House launches ‘Trump TV’ amid US networks’ coverage boycott
The channel is expected to serve as a direct platform for sharing content and information from the Trump administration.
The White House has launched a new streaming channel known as ‘Trump TV’, giving viewers access to content and updates from US President Donald Trump’s administration.
In a post late Monday, the White House announced that the channel would provide real-time updates, including major past moments, official announcements and the latest developments from the administration.
The channel is expected to serve as a direct platform for sharing content and information from the Trump administration.
“Not every big moment has made it on your tv, now it can,” the White House said.
The stream, titled ‘TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station’, is available on the White House website and its YouTube channel.
The TV launch is the latest escalation of an ongoing row between the Trump administration and media outlets.
On Friday, Trump announced a ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, accusing the organisations of writing “fiction or lies” about his team. The companies said their reporters were denied access to the building on Saturday.
A coalition of major US networks, including ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC, suspended their pooled coverage of the president ahead of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York in solidarity with the barred outlets.
In a joint statement on Monday, the outlets said they were pursuing legal action to “defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports”.
Trump called the news organisations “Third Rate Clowns” and “Crooked and Corrupt Press” that “trivialise and demean” his achievements.
In February, the White House announced it was taking control of the press pool which has access to Trump and had for more than a century been managed by the White House Correspondents’ Association.
The same month, the administration moved to bar Associated Press (AP) reporters and photographers from spaces where access is limited over the outlet’s usage of the term “Gulf of Mexico” instead of “Gulf of America”.
AP filed a lawsuit and the case is ongoing.
