The US Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into major television networks over their decision to halt or reduce coverage of Donald Trump. The probe raises questions about whether the broadcasters' coordination on coverage amounted to anti-competitive behaviour, and it has drawn attention amid ongoing disputes between the Trump administration and mainstream media outlets over fair treatment and press freedom.
Why now: The investigation sits at the intersection of antitrust enforcement, media freedom and the administration's feud with TV networks.
