华盛顿 - 美国司法部正在调查电视网络，因其对特朗普总统的池报道，纽约时报于10月10日报道，引用了六名知情人士。
WASHINGTON - The US Justice Department is investigating television networks over pool coverage of President Donald Trump, the New York Times reported on Oct 10, citing six people with knowledge of the department’s action.
据该报报道，被调查的网络包括ABC、CBS、CNN、NBC和福克斯新闻。
The networks under investigation, according to the newspaper, are ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News.
“电视新闻池的成员自豪地抵制报道白宫活动。商业竞争者之间的团体抵制可能违反谢尔曼法，”司法部发言人对纽约时报表示。
“Members of the television press pool have proudly boycotted covering White House events. Group boycotts among commercial competitors can violate the Sherman Act,” a Justice Department spokesperson told the New York Times.
“反托拉斯部门只是在调查，以确定这些新闻机构是否违反了反托拉斯法。”司法部和这些网络对路透社的置评请求未作即时回应。
“The Antitrust Division is simply investigating to determine whether these news organisations have violated the antitrust laws.”The Justice Department and the networks did not immediately respond to requests by Reuters for comment.
这些电视网络曾因特朗普禁止CNN、Politico和MS Now进入白宫而短暂停止对其的池报道。他们后来恢复了对这位共和党总统的报道。
The television networks had briefly stopped providing pool coverage of Trump after he banned CNN, Politico and MS Now from the White House. They later reinstated coverage of the Republican president.
CNN是五家新闻机构之一——与ABC、CBS、福克斯新闻和NBC一起——构成主要白宫电视池。他们分担总统报道的费用，轮流组织报道，并将素材分享给全国各地的媒体。
CNN is one of the five news organisations – along with ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC – that make up the primary White House television pool. They share the costs of covering the president, take turns organising coverage and share the footage with outlets around the country.
