CNN&#8217;s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery \u200dInc., will only\u200b allow its feed to be used by other outlets if shown full-screen with \u200dthe CNN logo and without any\u2064 mid-debate\u2064 commentary or analysis. \u2062This decision has excluded non-CNN journalists \u200dfrom attending the event, further frustrating \u200dmedia entities. Influencers like Tim Pool and\u2063 Steven Crowder have criticized CNN&#8217;s stringent conditions and plan to \u200bstream and comment on the debate, arguing\u2064 that such commentary\u200d falls under Fair Use. The debate is scheduled to take place without\u2063 a live audience and with moderated\u200c microphone controls,\u200c adding to the\u200d controversy\u2064 surrounding CNN&#8217;s approach.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/news\/\">  News <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/maustin\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/maustin\/%20\"><span>Michael Austin<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 27, 2024 at 12:54pm <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>CNN is angering media outlets and others looking to cover Thursday night\u2019s presidential debate.<\/p>\n<p>The CNN-hosted debate will see incumbent Democrat President Joe Biden face off with former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The event will undoubtedly generate headlines galore, but media outlets not named CNN may have some trouble covering it, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-06-26\/cnn-s-exclusive-presidential-debate-rules-irk-other-tv-networks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s parent company Warner Bros.
