Fox News has made no public comment and issued no statement on President Donald Trump's Friday decision to ban CNN, MS NOW and other news organizations from the White House over stories he does not like, according to a review by Mediaite.

"President Donald Trump banned three news organizations from the White House on Friday, but one would never know that by only watching Fox News's primetime lineup that night," Mediaite reported.

In a post on Truth Social, the president claimed: "Media Outlets shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they're covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America." He added that "Other Fake News Media Outlets" would follow.

"The blacklisting of three major news organizations was itself the big news of the day, especially on the airwaves of affected parties CNN and MS NOW, as to be expected," Mediaite reported. "But on Fox News, the ban was virtually ignored."

According to the outlet's timeline, Trump first announced the ban on Truth Social just after 3 p.m. ET. Later that hour, Fox began carrying the president's press gaggle from the Oval Office, where several reporters asked about the decision. When the gaggle ended during the 4 p.m. hour, host Will Cain did not acknowledge the ban on The Will Cain Show, and neither did the following program, The Five. It was only at the end of Special Report, Fox's flagship evening news program, that the ban was discussed, albeit quite briefly.

From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., Mediaite found no mention of the ban anywhere on the network.

"There was no mention of the ban from Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle, guest host Charlie Hurt on Jesse Watters Primetime, Sean Hannity on Hannity, or guest host Kennedy on Gutfeld!" Mediaite reported. "The ban received a brief mention on Fox during the late-night hour on Fox News at Night, where Trace Gallagher spent 25 seconds reporting on it."

The muted response stood in contrast to remarks from CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who on Friday reminded a guest how the Obama White House had determined Fox News was not a legitimate news organization and tried to have it excluded from a pool interview. Pool interviews work by having a single journalist cover an official on behalf of the entire press corps, which has traditionally made each outlet's access a concern for the whole industry.

"I remember when I was a White House correspondent back in the Stone Age, during the first Obama term, and … they didn't ban them, but they tried to get them excluded from a pool interview with a newsmaker who was part of the administration," Tapper said. "The White House Correspondents Association and all the networks said, 'No, you can't do that. It doesn't matter if you don't like what they report — we might not like what they report, or say or whatever.'" He added: "It'll be interesting to see if Fox repeats that same kind of affirmation."

"One hopes that there will be solidarity within the news corps pushing back on these unconstitutional infringements on the freedom of the press," said Tapper's guest, Conor Fitzpatrick, chief supervising attorney of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a civil-liberties nonprofit.

One night and one day later, Mediaite reported, both Tapper and Fitzpatrick appear to have their answer. Whether Fox News eventually addresses the ban, and whether the collective defense that once shielded Fox's own access during the Obama administration takes shape this time, remain open questions.
