I'd love to see NBC appoint Rachel Maddow as their White House
correspondent. That would rattle Le Grande Orange..

The major networks are set to resume their collective television
coverage of President Trump on Sunday, even though the White House
blocked CNN from participating in the TV pool over the weekend,
according to four people briefed on the deliberations.

Five networks u ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC u collaborate to
provide footage of Mr. TrumpAs daily events, covering the president on
a rotating basis and sharing footage with one another and other global
news outlets.

Throughout the past week, the quintet had suspended the TV pool in an
effort to force the administration to reinstate CNN, after Mr. Trump
barred its journalists from the White House grounds. The networks went
so far as to refuse to air footage of portions of Mr. TrumpAs summit
with ChinaAs top leader, Xi Jinping.

But under a tentative plan that began taking shape late Friday, the
other four networks would return to performing pool duties, the people
said. Each time that CNN comes up in the pool rotation, the group of
networks will decide whether to provide a substitute crew. Otherwise,
CNNAs slot will be left unfilled, and Mr. Trump will not receive major
network coverage.

The networks could agree to suspend the White House TV pool at any
time, the people said.
