I heard that he wanted to, with Fox, but THAT CNN DEFENDED THEM.

Gone in a memory wipe are the banning of journalists by the Marxist Messiah Obama.

Gone in the memory wipe are the Rosen...and his family, attacks by the Marxist Messiah Obama.

And it seems Hannity and Co are so busy rubbing it in they have forgotten the response of other journalists who weren't necessarily friends of Fox. Behind closed doors? They are shouting sbout it. Hannity only has one number on his volume dial! 11😉

I think your memory is the faulty one..since you are parroting the gleeful Foxers and not remembering the pushback from "rival" "leftist"(sic) journos

Yet again, so many smart strategies could have been used. Like, that one irritating CNN reporter could have been banned temporarily for disruption and a substitute reporter from CNN could have been allowed.

Trump need not escalate any error of Obama. That goes against his own campaign promise of being more transparent. He is still not making his tax returns public. He can do that for a start and improve relations with the media so that his so-called pro-American policies are conveyed transparently across the Nation.

The brutal Hate Killing of an Indian Tech Genius making Helicopter Systems Software in Kansas [Not in Sweden] by a White Terrorist has not been condemned strongly enough by POTUS, he could have used the Mainstream Media to send a strong message to potential Terrorists who think that there is an open season on brown skinned American Citizens.

Praise could have been showered by Trump on young Ian who tried to save the Indian Americans and got shot himself. These Optics matter for a better future.

So, the little thumb sucking whiners, screechers, howlers and shriekers of the lunatic left think this is a 1st Amendment issue. It's not. They have no idea WHY these so called news outlets were excluded and they're just too damned lazy to find out.

Very Fake News – Back Story Behind Spicer Gaggle Shows CNN and NYT Constructing False Narrative…
February 24, 2017
sundance

There has been a lot of attention paid to Sean Spicer’s decision to not invite the New York Times, CNN and Politico to a press gaggle in his office today. However, against the backdrop of the attempted hit job by CNN and the New York Times the Spicer decision was modest.

CNN framed a story of White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus asking the FBI to rebuke an earlier story -based on anonymous leaks- of Trump campaign contacts with Russia. According to the agenda, CNN wanted to make it look like the administration was pressuring the FBI to provide the White House political cover.

However, the truth behind the entire episode shows an entirely different story than the false narrative created by CNN.

On February 15th while discussing another issue FBI Assistant Director Andrew McCabe asked Reince for 5 minutes alone after the meeting. At the one-on-one McCabe told Priebus the New York Times Russia and Trump campaign story was a “bunch of BS”.

Priebus asked McCabe if McCabe would be able to say that publicly. McCabe said he would check. Later, McCabe called back and said he couldn’t issue a statement about it.

So the entire construct by CNN of the White House (via Priebus) trying to pressure the FBI is complete nonsense. Very Fake News…. aka a false narrative. It was the FBI who approached Priebus and wanted to clear the record.

Priebus is simply asking the FBI to make the same disclosure public that they were making to him in private. Reince Priebus is asking for transparency, for truth, for openness...............

Even BBC was barred. Bizarre.

Get real IQ. If you knew anything about US law, you'd know is almost impossible for a "Public Person" to sue for slander or libel. More difficult still to sue the news media...and win.

How about this IQ. Tell your friends over at Liars Inc, CNN, NY Times, Politico, BBC and Washington Compost to stop broadcasting and publishing lying, fake news.

Loss of credibility, except the angry mobs that cheer for the exemple set by Trump's election, everyone else around the world is looking at the US scratching their head and wondering, is this real ? Discrediting the US.

Luckily the world see the protestors, the media, etc... there is hope.

Totally agreed.

I take the media with a pinch of salt, but still, it's quite a spectacle.
