Other news networks boycott dinner in honor of Xi Jinping after officials deny CNN and MS Now permission
Journalists for CNN and MS Now were denied access to the White House state dinner in honor of Xi Jinping, China’s president, on Thursday evening, despite a federal judge ruling the Trump administration must allow them in after imposing a ban last week.
“About an hour before Xi’s arrival was scheduled, the White House said CNN could cover the event, but only with a photojournalist and audio technician, notably excluding the network’s editorial team consisting of a reporter and producer,” CNN reported.
