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

[Faun]

Tell us your reaction if Obama had done the same.

If Obama had blocked CNN, NYT, LA Times, Politico and others from media briefing?!

I would have laughed my ass off, THEN I would have applauded him for shutting out those FAKE News, All-In orgs....but we both know Barry would NEVER have done that.

and if it has been Fox and Breitbart, would you have said anything?

If Fox and Briebart had been caught as often / as much as those Fake News / All-In media I would not have complained.

Oh?

List some of the fake news from CNN and the NYT...

One way to ditch the Fake Newsters.

 

[BluesLegend]

The so called press have destroyed their own professional integrity, they have become nothing more than a propaganda ministry for the Democratic party. I see no reason to bestow press credentials on these hack outfits.

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.

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.

The ones that were excluded are all biased "news" that ask only gotcha questions at news conferences as opposed to factual questions to better inform their readers. Washington Post should have been included in the list of those excluded. In reporting this same story the Washington Post left out all the major news sources that were in the conference.

Like I always say, "what's good for the goose is good for the gander"


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.”

This was an official WH briefing, not a private meeting. Never before have specific news outlets been banned from an official WH briefing. The Comrade is following the Putin Playbook.

Will he start poisoning or locking up reporters next?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

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!!!!!

Thats the thing isnt it. Apart from the resident nuts on here the rest of the world is shaking its head.

Looking at the wider picture Putin kills critical journalists.Tread carefully.

Because Trump is the President, and they published a years worth of proof that this would never happen. Because they never published the ten people showing up at Hillary rallies to the hundreds of thousands at Trumps.

Stomp up and down all you want, you will still be a loser when you come down.

Thanks for the honest response and for using biased news instead of fake news. I completely understand the "biased" claim as there is a disproportionate amount of negatives Trump stories to positive Trump stories. Not much different than the negative Obama stories on Fox vs the positive, right?

But surly you don't support the white house strong arming the media do you? Gotchya questions might be annoying but it is our politicians job to answer them. It is a slippery slope if we start allowing the white house to pick and choose media outlets and also punish those that they don't agree with. Just imagine if Obama locked out Fox. What Trump does now and what you support sets a precedent towards what you'd have to support a future democratic leader to do as well. So answer carefully.
