The US Department of Justice is investigating whether five television stations violated antitrust laws by jointly boycotting coverage from the White House. The investigation began after the presidential office revoked journalists' accreditations. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Authorities are examining whether the television stations' actions constituted coordinated conduct that could have restricted competition or affected the availability of news coverage about the activities of the US government. Further details about the scope of the investigation or the department's specific steps have not yet been disclosed. hnonline.sk ↗
The dispute between the White House and the media escalated after the presidential office decided to revoke the accreditations of some journalists. The television stations subsequently proceeded to boycott coverage from the presidential residence. The department is now assessing whether their actions violated rules that prohibit agreements that distort competition. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
The investigation concerns the television stations as a group. Based on available information, it does not yet appear that the department has brought charges against any of them or made a final decision. The review itself does not mean that a violation of the law has occurred.
Further developments will depend on whether authorities find evidence of coordination among the broadcasters and whether their conduct could have had an antitrust dimension. The Department of Justice is so far conducting the investigation without announcing its outcome.
