Justice Dept. Is Investigating TV Networks Over Trump Pool Coverage
Major TV networks were notified on Friday that the department was examining whether they violated antitrust laws when they suspended pool coverage of President Trump.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center on a Justice Department antitrust investigation into TV networks over suspended White House pool coverage. The New York Times and Newsweek frame the story in broad terms, while the Washington Post is the only one to name the five networks, Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC, and to describe the inquiry as a sharp escalation.
