What's the latest on CNN vs Trump?

Two days ago I heard that Blitzer said they would only broadcast those parts of the daily briefing that featured medical experts. They didn't show the first 1/2 hour, but showed all the rest.

Yesterday I heard that Trump had told them they couldn't have Birx or Fauci as guests unless they showed the whole briefing.

Last night they didn't show the first 15 minutes to 1/2 hour (I wasn't watching carefully), but they showed the rest.

I'm told that Fauci would be on one of their morning shows today. Was he?
It sounds like they're both playing chicken.

Has anyone been following this more closely than I?

1. I specifically watched CNN yesterday because of this

No Trump at presser, only about 30 seconds of Pence but consequently no Dr. Fouci at Town Hall. I would only hope other networks would follow suit.

I will continue to watch CNN because of this.

2. "No Fauci at Town Hall." So are you saying that Fauci was not on CNN this a.m.?

I don't know what show he was supposed to be on. I just heard about Friday morning.

CNN had a special Town Hall on Corona last night and I believe initially they had Dr. Fauci and Dr. McScarfy booked for the show, but due to Pence they were a no show. Instead, CNN had other Medical experts on the show.

4. Fauci was on CNN this morning. A one-on-one discussion with Alisyn Camerota.

It was pretty short, not an in-depth interview.
