Trump White House blocks CNN, NYT, LA Times, Politico and others from media briefing

[Dalia]

one-third of NYT homepage opinion stories right now are on transgender bathrooms.

I did see this story on CNN about transgender bathrooms and people manifest outside and crying.
And i don't understand a thing about the hell it's mean.

I understand that the BBC were also banned. The last "statesman" to do this was Bob Mugabe.

America is under attack.

Was, not were. You can't even use your own language correctly.

Maybe next time you shouldn't have Parliament discuss not allowing a US President to enter the UK. The days of accepting faggot hissy fits are over, Tommy. There is a new sheriff in town - and this one isn't Cleavon Little or Barry Obama.

The BBC has many facets.Was or were are both valid.

I did not link the ban to the Parliamentary debate. Interesting if that is the case.

Of course the BBC is not responsible for the debate on the state visit. Childish if this is the reason for this act. Surely not ?

There goes our 1st amendment rights, whats next?

SHUT THE FUCK UP


FUCK CNN, NYT, LA Times, Politico - political shills pretending to be reporters


No one has a right to attend a whitehouse briefing

.


.

Yes they do. A President does not decide who gets press briefings and who does not. That leads to tyranny. Obama made it clear that he was unhappy about Fox News but he never tried to exclude Fox from press briefings. Trump is a fascist in a league of his own.

 

[Papageorgio]

Horseshit, flake. No one is preventing them from speaking. Trump is exercising his free speech to speak to whom he wishes - which ain't fake news agencies. Pay back is a bitch.

Pay

So every news outlet needs to be admitted for us to have a free press?

Every major outlet, yes

Who decides what media outlet is a major news outlet?

Viewership.

Just viewership? What about online sources? What about readership?

How many viewers do you need? Would it be just TV or cable, or satellite? What about internet? Would that count?

Viewership in the general meaning of the term...dumbass!

Fucktard, what is viewership? 100 million? 12 million? Who determines the cutoff line as in terms of viewership? Man, you are a dumb shit!

 

[Lakhota]

This will not end well for Trump. Such tactics never have.

Spicer said in December, barring media would be a sign of Dictatorship.

Analysis | In December, Spicer said barring media access is what a ‘dictatorship’ does. Today, he barred media access.

This is bizarre. Trump says WaPo made up sources on the Flynn story, which resulted in WH confirming story and firing Flynn over it.

[Marion Morrison]

This must be tooty fruity land. I'll be back when something gets real.

 

[Lewdog]

Trump is simply tightening the noose around his own neck. He made enemies in the intelligence agencies... and now Flynn is gone and there is an investigation. He's making enemies out of more and more media who's job is to investigate... if you don't think they will dig up every single bad thing Trump has ever done including the tapes that Tom Arnold supposedly has, you're crazy.

 

[Lakhota]

Attacking, blocking, and suppressing major media will only make Trump more of a target - which is a good thing. Now, they can devote more time to investigating his unlawful activities - instead of just reporting on his bullshit and lies. Go media!!!!!

 

[Dr Grump]

And so it begins. And going by the reaction of the neocon loons on his thread not one of them is for freedom. Just totalitarian douches. Now, who of the normal folk here is surprised? I'm not..

 

[Care4all]

Trump is a whiny little juvenile weasel turd who can dish it out like no tomorrow but can't take it in return. He needs to grow up and grow some cojones!

PERFECT example of a special snowflake if there ever was one!

I watch CNN and I am entitled to hear the press conference of the man I pay to give such, with my taxes...without having to change the channel to watch FOX News etc in order to get it.

He's proving himself to be a vindictive, vengeful, slivering forked tongue snake on a daily basis.... too bad he never grew up and in to this job...

The White House on Friday blocked a number of news outlets from covering spokesman Sean Spicer’s question-and-answer session.

According to The Hill, Spicer decided to hold an off-camera “gaggle” with reporters inside his West Wing office instead of the traditional on-camera briefing in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.

Among the outlets not permitted to cover the gaggle were CNN, The New York Times, The Hill, Politico, BuzzFeed, the Daily Mail, BBC, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News.

Those who were allowed to enter included journalists from Breitbart, the Washington Times and One America News Network.

News organizations such as ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Reuters, Bloomberg and McClatchy were invited as well.

The incident comes amid President Donald Trump’s longstanding feud with the media over their biased coverage against him.

During the election campaign, research indicated that an overwhelming majority (91%) of mentions of Trump in the mainstream media were in a negative context.

Only 9% of news stories on Trump carried by the mainstream networks were positive towards him.

Some of the outlets that were not allowed to attend Friday’s session are ones that Trump has criticized over their bias, including CNN which he once branded as “fake news”.

Last week, Trump vowed to achieve his legislative agenda despite the “lies, misrepresentations and false stories” thrown at him by the media.

White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said on Friday that “claims that outlets were excluded are not factual.”

“The pool was there, so various media mediums were represented,” she wrote in an email quoted by The Hill.

White House blocks several media outlets from press briefing

Some of these like CNN should be permanently barred from all Trump administration press conferences. It's no big deal since they have no interest in reporting the facts, anyway.

It's about time, but you need to remember CNN and the NY Times are not media outlets

Hussein did the same numerous times.

" New York Times itself reported in 2015, President Barack Obama met privately with liberal reporters and columnists frequently throughout his tenure in office — “more than a dozen” times. And although he occasionally invited conservative columnists, “Liberal-leaning columnists from newspapers tend to dominate at Mr. Obama’s secret sessions.”

Obama’s private briefings for liberal members of the media, which excluded conservatives, were well-documented. A few:

• December 2012: Several journalists reported that MSNBC hosts were meeting privately with President Obama to discuss the impending “fiscal cliff” fight.
• May 2013: NPR’s Ari Shapiro reported that President Obama was meeting privately with “lefty columnists,” but hastened to add that there was “nothing nefarious” about it.
• November 2013: President Obama met again with liberal journalists, as Obamacare struggled with the failure of healthcare.gov and other problems.
• March 2015: Politico’s media reporter, Hadas Gold, reported that “a group of journalists and columnists,” all on the left, met privately with President Obama, but the White House refused to say “who else was at the meeting or what was discussed.”

The media should be encouraged to scrutinize our politicians, not bow down. If you bar CNN then the next democrat president should be allow to bar Fox. Does that sound right to you? While CNN has gone overboard with the opinion panel discussions, that is not fake news. I challenge you to point out where they have made up sources or reported false information. Fake News is a grossly overblown charge.

Obama learned his lesson and was re-elected easily in 2012.

If Trump does not learn the lesson, he won't last the year.
