That's not true, if it's on CNN, it's considered press coverage.

Well, most events will issue press credentials,
which are by application
only, and the event planners can DENY credentials to anyone. So if
you're CNN and the VCF declines to give you a press admittance, you
could still enter as a member of the public, but presumably VCF would
have been smart enough to have some fine print stating that members of
the publics' photos cannot be used for commercial gain, in which case
CNN would be illegally using its show admittance ticket.
Again, this comes down to whether they were using the photo as content for
their show, as opposed to doing press coverage. From what I've heard so
far, it doesn't sound like it fell under press coverage.
