White House excludes CNN from annual SOTU media lunch

The White House has excluded CNN anchors from attending a private annual lunch it hosts on the day of the State of the Union, according to three unnamed sources in a network report.

Trump has often had a contentious relationship with the media and CNN in particular.

In the past, the president has referred to CNN as "fake news," and some of his rally attendees have chanted "CNN sucks" when Trump broaches the subject of the media.
