1
One of the biggest questions that we've gotten asked and
2
that we've asked our sources ever since the president announced that he was banning CNN, MSNOW and Politico from covering his administration on Friday was why now?
3
The president has complained about negative coverage for decades, long before he was in political office.
4
So why is he taking this step to block outlets whose coverage he doesn't like from covering him?
5
Well, our sources tell my colleague Kevin Liptak and I that last week the president's close aide,
6
Natalie Harp, who is often seen with him in the Oval Office or on Air Force One, showed him graphics of negative coverage from Politico.
7
Between that and coverage, TV clips that the president also saw,
8
he was infuriated, which is what we are told led him to ban these outlets from covering him on Friday.
9
It's a move that actually caught a lot of people in the West Wing off guard
10
and they They were surprised themselves when the president announced that he was banning those outlets.
11
Now when it comes to CNN and the president banning CNN from coming into the White House, from accessing Air Force One, the TV pool, which are all the major outlets,
12
Fox News, CBS, ABC, NBC, and CNN, have all banded together and they have suspended the TV pool, which means that for the time being,
13
the president will not have a camera and reporters from a major outlet, a major television outlet covering him.
14
That comes as he is headed to New York on Monday for the United Nations General Assembly
15
and also ahead of his big state visit in Washington with Xi Jinping, all events that we know the president values having broadcast on television.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
