The U.S. network video pool, a system allowing major media outlets to share live video coverage of White House events, appears to be resuming operations. However, the situation remains uncertain, according to Brian Stelter, a media analyst for CNN. This system involves five major U.S. broadcast networks that take turns filming and sharing video of White House events. Earlier, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were temporarily banned from the pool, but a court ruled on Thursday that the ban was invalid. However, the court did not specifically address the video pool itself. In response to the ban, the other four networks had refused to participate in the video pool until CNN was allowed back in. CNN has not directly commented on the resumption of the pool, instead focusing on its editorial coverage. Stelter shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the major networks plan to resume their TV pool coverage of events involving former President Donald Trump on Friday. He noted that CNN has a scheduled assignment at the National Archives where Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet. The White House has approved CNN's credentials for this event. A daily White House press schedule listed CBS as one of the pool assignments for Friday. CNN also had a pool assignment on that day, and an Associated Press journalist observed the network preparing for the event on-site. The resumption of the video pool marks a return to normal operations after the temporary disruption, though the situation remains fluid as the networks navigate the legal and logistical challenges that arose.
