Major news organizations including NPR, Fox News, and The New York Times are suspending use of White House pool coverage after President Trump banned reporters from CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, with a federal court hearing scheduled for Wednesday. Meanwhile, Trump addresses the UN today while the Iran conflict looms, and Paramount's $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery advances after states drop their antitrust opposition following promised concessions on studio operations and news independence. News outlets from across the political spectrum—including Fox News and The New York Times—unified in protest against Trump's media bans, refusing to share pool audio, video, and photographs until the ban is lifted.
