[UPDATE] The White House network TV pool resumes operations after a dayslong ban of news outlets from grounds (first reported at 2026-09-25T14:27:13Z)
Trump lost: American journalists won the media battle and "won" the right to work in the White House. CNN, MSNBC and Politico restored access and accreditation through the court, and for two weeks the president will not be able to ban anything from the media. District Judge Tim Kelly rejected the US administration's arguments that the ban was dictated by national security concerns, Reuters reports. "There is no factual support in the record for the defendants' contention that revoking plaintiffs' passes will actually protect national security or that national security will be jeopardized if the court orders their passes reinstated during the pendency of this case," Kelly said.
The media war began on September 18. During this time, the press pool television channels refused to broadcast the president's events, so at the opening of the helipad, Trump could only be seen, but not heard - no microphone was brought to him. Journalists emphasized that "the president's decision was a blow to him." Subscribe to Zvezdanews

Trump confronted a CNN journalist upon arriving at the UN headquarters and lashed out at him. The US President was surprised that the correspondent was covering his appearance. Earlier, journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were banned from working in the White House for "spreading fake news." "I'm surprised CNN is here: you're covering my activities when you shouldn't have been here. You shouldn't have come here to cover my actions. You said you wouldn't do that," Trump said.

What is this event about?
On September 18, 2026, President Trump announced that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were banned from the White House (see: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117293599348325006).
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump or the White House publicly and officially announce that any additional news outlets are banned from the White House between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.”
A qualifying announcement must name one or more outlets additional to CNN, MS NOW, & Politico, by name.
The following do not qualify as official announcements:
- Anonymous, unattributed, or leaked statements not confirmed as official;
- Statements by persons not authorized to speak for the parties listed above;
- Third-party speculation, analysis, or reporting that a ban will be announced;
- Satirical, fabricated, hacked, or impersonated communications;
- Statements that a ban is prospective, contingent, or conditional rather than announcing a present, decided ban — for example that other outlets "may," or "could" be banned, or a threat to ban outlets absent some other outcome.
Once a qualifying announcement is made, this market will resolve to "Yes" regardless of whether the ban is later reversed or rescinded, or is ever actually enforced.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Donald Trump and The White House.
