How this market settles

If the White House officially announces that it will end its access bans on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico after Issuance and before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes. Only reporting from the White House qualifies for the purposes of this market. Reports that merely reference prior publications (from before Issuance) do not qualify. Republishing of content originally produced by other sources (e.g., wire services) only qualifies if the content is hosted on the outlet's official platform and the outlet is clearly identified as the publishing entity. The qualifying publication must announce a definite White House decision that the access bans on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico will end, be lifted, terminated, or rescinded, including a definite future restoration. A statement covering only one or two outlets, merely acknowledging a court order, or saying the White House will comply temporarily while continuing to challenge the order does not qualify. Decisions about the Associated Press's access do NOT count.

What could still go wrong

  • 'MS NOW' is ambiguous — likely refers to MSNBC but the abbreviation is non-standard and not officially recognized
  • 'Issuance' date is not explicitly defined in the description, creating uncertainty about the start boundary for qualifying publications
  • What constitutes an 'official' White House announcement is not precisely defined (e.g., press briefing, written statement, executive order)
  • The requirement that all three outlets be covered simultaneously in one announcement versus separate announcements issued around the same time is not fully clarified
  • No specific official source or document type is specified for the White House announcement
  • Timezone of the end date (04:59:00Z on Jan 1, 2027) may create edge-case disputes for announcements made near the boundary
