From The Guardians Today in Focus, this is the latest with me, Lucy Hoff.
There's been a very big escalation in Donald Trump's war with the press.
Paul Owen, you're one of our international editors.
There is a boycott of pooled shared coverage of the president from a number of really major networks.
The usual sort of suspects that you might expect from this CNN politico.
But also some allies of the president, including Fox News.
It's very striking.
Trump has responded in very Trumpian fashion by setting up his own TV network.
called Trump TV, there is an advert sort of espousing uh this network that I think is the most Trumpian thing I may have ever witnessed.
Uh but as you say yesterday, while he was travelling to New York, we would be used to those shots of him on Air Force One, you know, speaking into the microphone.
But, you know, there is a reason that professional cameramen do this job as was on
Full display yesterday.
Okay, so not s not a smooth start for the White House run uh media operation.
I mean, it feels like a very worrying step in an already worrying landscape between the current president and the media.
You know, we've had lawsuits, very, very expensive lawsuits against the Wall Street Journal, we've had a lawsuit against the BBC that's ongoing.
But this is a another step because the networks that were banned, those three networks have clubbed together and launched legal action.
It's going to be very complex and expensive, isn't it?
And probably will take some time to resolve.
Yeah, yeah.
So so what will the White House press room look like in this interim period, given that you've got some of the most watched and highly respected news outlets banned from being there for those conferences?
