The White House has a workaround when networks refuse to replace CNN
Since the White House restricted CNN’s press access, other networks have refused to replace it. It has turned to Real America’s Voice.
Over the weekend, CNN was once again blocked from traveling with President Donald Trump on Air Force One as part of the White House pool.
And once again, conservative network Real America’s Voice was waiting in the wings, ready to provide pool footage after the other major networks declined to take CNN’s place.
