WTF - access for the press being denied by the regime

Recommended Posts

WTF? Is this the country we want for ourselves? Republicans, do you realize your guy isn't always going to be in power and he's setting precedent here?

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears; it was their final, most essential command.

Guys, simmer down.  He is just fighting fake news.  Somebody on Facebook posted a link to the Daily Caller confirming this.

Trump starts more fake news & lies than anyone else - And he mentions the evils of media every time he speaks!!

Remember when Obama did this to Fox News and the media and conservatives threw a fit about it?

I don't.  But regardless of who's in charge, no news organization should be blocked from the White House.

Obama never did this. The Obama administration did a lot of unacceptable things in regards to press access, including THREATENING to deny access to Fox News to one interview. But they never followed through with it. The threat was bad enough. This mother +++++er just actually did it. That is a key distinction, don't you think?

Did he block them from the press room? I don't remember. I recall him saying they weren't legitimate.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

I think he knows that never happened and was trying to make a point.

Obama had every right to loathe fox, but he was an adult about it.

Instead of hosting the typical briefing on camera in the briefing room -- which in the first month has been regularly broadcast live on the major cable networks -- the White House invited the pool, which on Friday consisted of Hearst Newspapers and CBS, into Spicer’s office, along with a select group of other outlets. Because of the presence of the pool, the information was still shared with the entire White House press corps.

In addition to CBS and Hearst, the White House invited NBC, Fox, ABC, One America News Network, The Wall Street Journal, McClatchy, Breitbart and Washington Times reporters to attend. Reporters from outlets including the BBC, CNN, New York Times, Los Angeles Times and POLITICO were not permitted.
