The White House launched a 24/7 YouTube channel called 'Trump TV' days after banning several news organisations from the White House.

The Trump administration launched 'Trump TV', a 24/7 YouTube livestream, days after banning reporters from three major news outlets from the White House. The channel will broadcast videos and highlights of what the White House calls the Trump administration's achievements, including speeches and bill signings. The launch comes amid an ongoing dispute with the US press, with some major US networks agreeing not to cover the president while the row continues. Critics have compared the channel to state propaganda networks in autocratic countries.
