美国司法部调查电视网停播总统媒体池报道事件

美国司法部正在调查美国广播公司、哥伦比亚广播公司、美国有线电视新闻网、全国广播公司和福克斯新闻五家电视网，以确定其在暂停总统媒体池报道期间是否违反了联邦反垄断法1。特朗普政府上月吊销了CNN、微软新闻网和政治网的记者证件后，这五家电视网随后暂停了总统报道数天1。司法部认为这一抵制行为可能违反了《谢尔曼法案》，该法禁止企业从事垄断性商业行为1。司法部已要求ABC、CBS、CNN、NBC和Fox News提交与媒体池相关的通信记录1。

此后经法官裁定，被禁记者恢复了对白宫的采访权1。特朗普政府2月份宣布接管已由白宫记者协会管理100多年的总统媒体池1。此外，特朗普政府还因美联社使用"墨西哥湾"而非"美国湾"的措辞，禁止其记者和摄影师进入椭圆形办公室或空军一号等限制进入区域1。

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether five major television networks violated federal antitrust law by suspending coverage of President Trump after the administration revoked media credentials from certain outlets 12. The networks under scrutiny—ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and Fox News—temporarily halted presidential reporting following the Trump administration's decision to strip credentials from CNN, Microsoft News, and Politico reporters 1.

The Justice Department has requested communications records from these networks related to the presidential media pool, citing potential violations of the Sherman Act, which prohibits monopolistic business conduct 1. The networks' collective suspension of coverage occurred after the administration banned the three news organizations from accessing the White House, though a court order later restored their press access 1. The Trump administration assumed control of the presidential media pool in February, a role previously managed by the White House Correspondents' Association for over a century 1. Additionally, the administration restricted Associated Press journalists and photographers from entering designated White House areas, including the Oval Office and Air Force One, over the outlet's use of the term "Gulf of Mexico" rather than "Gulf of America" 1.
