giraldi02 470 Posted February 24, 2017 So some got invited to his office, some didn't. The office can only hold so many. Boo-hoo. The NY Daily News? They should be out of business soon. Circulation wayyyyy down. Online too This is the best justification for censoring select media outlets. There's not enough room! Funny, looks like there's plenty of room for the amount of journalists that were there and then some given the way that every Sean Spicer press conference is laid out. https://twitter.com/alex_mallin/status/835198533921878016 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad GLuckman 518 Posted February 24, 2017 When you're only surrounding yourself with 'friendly' press, it's step one. Obama was gifted a friendly press and made constant remarks about the one outlet that opposed him. Trump has taken it to another level, but it's not that far off.

jerryskids 5,209 Posted February 24, 2017 I don't like what Trump is doing with the media, but keeping in character as a mindless republitard, I thought I'd remind you of this But Hillary$#@! moment where her staffer fed the press the questions he wanted asked.

Mike Honcho 4,039 Posted February 24, 2017 Wrong. So HT, do you like Apples? White House blocks news organizations from press briefing The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Politico and BuzzFeed were also excluded from the meeting, which is known as a gaggle and is less formal than the televised Q-and-A session in the White House briefing room. The gaggle was held by White House press secretary Sean Spicer. how do you like dem apples! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewbieJr 540 Posted February 24, 2017 Good.....fock em. Fock 'em is fine and dandy when your guy is in office. But I hope you're smart enough to realize that this sets a new precedence and you'll need to keep your mouth shut when the next Democratic president doesn't allow Fox News or other conservative media at their press conferences. Opposition media, representing the other half of the people, is a very important piece of a democracy. The pendulum always swings back.

I know what a gaggle is because at the one the day after Susan Rice told her tale about Benghazi nobody asked any questions about it, because the press that was invited was friendly.

wiffleball 4,646 Posted February 24, 2017 Haven't read most of the above. This all stems from CNN and NYT reporting correctly that TrumpCo tried to get the FBI to quash reports that TrumpCo was in contact with Russia during the election. The funny thing is, in acting as they did now - and in attempting to justify their contacts, they've straight up confirmed that reporting. So, they're punishing CNN et al for what TrumpCo has confirmed as accurate reporting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it only makes it harder on him. He's so used to telling business men that if they don't kiss his ass, they can go pound sand, that he can't adjust when that method doesn't work.

wiffleball 4,646 Posted February 24, 2017 It should surprise no one that Trump is too stupid and self-involved to 'get' the irony of this but, He's out here railing against 'anonymous sources' "They should have to name the people who say these things!" Yet, here's a guy who, about 47% of his statements involve the following: Some people are saying... Others have said... Someone just gave me those numbers... I heard/read somewhere... There's a lot of people out there who are saying... Tell ya whut Trump; Name the person who 'gave you the facts' that you won the electoral by a larger amount than any other person in history. - Err I was talking about Republicans - ...and George Bush... - Err, someone gave me that, I just was given that, I think I read that somewhere though... You can't predicate half your statements on anonymous sources (that don't exist) and then biitch that the press uses anonymous sources. Anymore than you can biitch about them reporting 'fake news' when you openly spout shiit that is demonstrably false. ...but the Trumptards just don't seem intelligent enough to get the hypocrisy / irony of that.
