[The U.S. Department of Justice investigates five major television media’s “stopping filming of the White House”] October 11th: The U.S. Department of Justice said on October 10 that it is investigating whether five major television media outlets, including CNN, violated federal antitrust laws. Previously, U.S. President Trump banned reporters from CNN and three other news organizations from entering the White House for interviews. These five major media outlets immediately boycotted and refused to report on White House activities to show solidarity with the banned reporters. The New York Times reported, citing six sources, that U.S. Department of Justice officials contacted ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News Channel on the 9th, requesting the five media outlets to provide communication records and materials related to the White House Television Correspondents’ Joint Group. According to Reuters, these five media outlets form the White House Television Correspondents' Joint Group, which takes turns organizing coverage of the U.S. president's activities, shares related reporting costs, and shares materials with other media outlets across the United States. The White House has not yet commented on the matter, and the five media outlets involved have not responded. (Xinhua News Agency)
