The Trump administration has strongly criticized CNN and MS NOW for not providing live coverage of his meeting with Xi Jinping, the President of China. This meeting, which Trump described as "made for television," took place without live broadcasting from these two major media outlets. This criticism arises as a federal judge recently reaffirmed these media's access to the White House.

He also pointed out that these media focus on unimportant and peripheral issues instead of significant news coverage. Trump's statements not only escalated tensions between the administration and the media but also impacted the credibility of these outlets.
