Morphine Prince 109,891 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 CNN and other news outlets were blocked Friday from an off-camera White House press briefing, raising alarm among media organizations and First Amendment watchdogs. 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. And while The New York Times was kept out, conservative media organizations Breitbart News, The Washington Times and One America News Network were also allowed in. Hours earlier, at the Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington, President Trump mocked and disparaged the news media. He said that much of the press represents "the enemy of the people." "They are the enemy of the people because they have no sources," Trump said. "They just make them up when there are none." He also said reporters "shouldn't be allowed" to use unnamed sources. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,891 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 It's clear they are sending the message they don't like what these outlets are reporting. Hope Trump voters are happy with their fascist regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 So how exactly is the average American population reacting? Apathetic? Concerned? Angry? Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile their reality TV star president lies about virtually everything and they accept it with no question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinTrudeau 2,419 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Real news =/= news you like to hear. I wish they realize that just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean they're fake. They bash the liberals but then do special snowflake stuff like this. How are they so blind? Ugh, just hoping it's a one time thing. I fell down the stairs once as an actor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born Brave 2,072 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I dont know why he actually cares though. Their ratings are literal crap compared to MSNBC and FoxNews. CNN does need to be held accountable but that does not give the President the right to deprive them of press access. That's all I will say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
