When circumstances change I try to follow up.

Hours later, a reversal

Soon after my story was published, and after a flood of criticism had been directed at Pence's office, the blockade against CNN was lifted. Pence's office allowed for the booking of CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield for CNN's Thursday night coronavirus town hall with Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta. And Dr. Anthony Fauci was also booked for Friday on "New Day."

Seriously, Fauci & Birx are the best of the group.
This action is juvenile.

Pence's office blocks public health officials from appearing on CNN

New York (CNN Business)Vice President Mike Pence's office has declined to allow the nation's top health officials to appear on CNN in recent days and discuss the coronavirus pandemic killing thousands of Americans, in an attempt to pressure the network into carrying the White House's lengthy daily briefings in full.

Pence's office, which is responsible for booking the officials on networks during the pandemic, said it will only allow experts such as Dr. Deborah Birx or Dr. Anthony Fauci to appear on CNN if the network televises the portion of the White House briefings that includes the vice president and other coronavirus task force members.

CNN often only broadcasts President Donald Trump's question and answer session, which sometimes includes the health care officials, live on-air.
