White House Restores Access for CNN, MS NOW and Politico
A judge ordered President Trump to reverse his ban on three media outlets, but it took several hours for them to get back in. The White House TV pool remains suspended.

What the coverage shows
Coverage splits between the Xi visit and the media-ban fight. Most outlets converge on the summit’s pageantry and the trade truce extension, while NBC News, CBS News, Axios, AP, CNN, BBC, and others focus on the judge blocking Trump’s ban and reporters getting restored access. The Hill is the only outlet here that explicitly foregrounds the White House TV pool being “in limbo” amid the Xi visit, and New York Times also separately highlights conservative outlets filling in for the suspended pool.
