So if I’m understanding right, the networks rotate who gets the coverage; today is CNNs turn in the rotation and in solidarity none of the other networks will fill in.
What I’m still not clear on, after reading the article, is if the rotation will continue as normal and coverage will only be missed on days a “banned” network is up, or if the other networks are also skipping coverage when their turn in the rotation is up.
Either way, the actual goal of censoring news from the White House is achieved… and in the case of this solidarity, the effect is even greater. Or am I misunderstanding something here?
/edit: Okay I actually misunderstood something: Its not about media coverage in total but about giving Trump a platform. This makes much more sense.

They’ll still be reporting about the white house, they just won’t be propping up trump’s soapbox quite so much
