US Justice Department Launches Antitrust Probe into Major TV Networks Following Coverage Halt

The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated an antitrust investigation into major television networks, including ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and Fox News. This probe follows the networks' collective decision last month to cease presidential coverage after the White House revoked credentials for some reporters. The DOJ is examining whether this 'group boycott' violated federal antitrust laws, raising questions about media practices and regulatory oversight.
