Journalists from at least three U.S. news organizations were prohibited from attending a briefing by U.S. President Donald Trump’s press secretary on Friday, a highly unusual breach of relations between the White House and its press corps.
Reporters from The New York Times, CNN and Politico were not allowed to enter the West Wing office of the press secretary, Sean M. Spicer, for the scheduled briefing. Aides to Mr. Spicer allowed in reporters from only a hand-picked group of news organizations that, the White House said, had been previously confirmed to attend.
Organizations allowed in included Breitbart News, the One America News Network and The Washington Times, all with conservative leanings. Journalists from ABC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Fox News also attended.
Reporters from Time magazine and The Associated Press, who were set to be allowed in to the briefing, chose not to attend in protest of the White House’s actions.

He cannot (and should not) keep this up over the long haul, but I think this is awesome in the short term. :)

Agreed. A short term attitude adjustment is a good thing. Very bad in the long term.
You get smacked if you keep up with the bullshit reporting.
April Ryan, though, should have her credentials revoked.

Apparently this wasn't an official "briefing" but instead it is/was a "gaggle" in Spicer's office. Those orgs weren't "blocked" instead they simply weren't invited as space was limited.
Really much ado about nothing.

I am finding these media crybabies to be very amusing. :)

The media itself is what can't be allowed to carry on long-term (as it's been). Shit needs fixing, like yesterday.

very putinesque
Putin let's CNN question him if they want ???
-
very putinesque
Yes. Not inviting a few press outlets to an impromptu oressg gaggle due to lack of available space is definitely Putinesque.
Oh brother.

What's the "Trump Body Count" currently at????
-
very putinesque
Trumptards love Mother Russia
Too fucking stupid to even realize they are waiving Russian flags

Oh brother.
where did you get the spin that it was due to lack of available space?

quote from Sean Spicer in December of 2016
“We have a respect for the press when it comes to the government, that that is something you can’t ban an entity from.” He added: “I think that is what makes a democracy a democracy versus a dictatorship.”
btw - I have no doubt that Trumptards would be perfectly happy with Trump as a dictator

Lots of posters reaching really, really hard here.
Sorry guys, Trump isn't a dictator, he isn't banning a free press or sending them to the gas chambers. Spicer didn't invite 3-4 orgs to the press gaggle. OH NO!!!!!!! POL POT IS IN CHARGE!!!!
Ahahaha, oh brother. Keep it up!

Try to keep in mind the dictator comment came from Sean Spicer.
Where are you getting your "lack of space" spin?
Isn't it the same space that had no problem accommodating them all the other times?
This was punitive. Pure and simple.
Yesterday Bannon said to expect an escalation of their self imposed war with the press and today Trump doubled down on his utter bullshit about the press being the enemy of the people.

Funny straw, I don't remember you being upset when obama was spying on the AP going through their phone records.
Why the outrage now?

I don't even recall that
By "no outrage" do you mean I posted that I didn't mind or that I just didn't comment on it at all and you assumed tacit approval.
btw - what does that have to do with this topic
Connect the dots for me.

REALLY weird Trump does something like barring the press which is unprecedented, and starts using executive orders right off the bat, YET you don't accuse him of being an IMPERIAL president like you did Obama....
STRANGE..............

due to "lack of available space"????????????...you are more of a rube, chump, and shill than I thought you were....
JESUS.............THE HYPOCRISY

So you can wave Mexican flags at an Obama rally but not their home country's flag because they like Trump?
amazing...

You probably don't remember the obama admin excluding Fox News either

it's funny as shit that trump is using obamas tactics and now you idiots are offended. Guess you should have stood up for what was right when the shoe was on the other foot.

you were referring to MY response to a specific event as I explicitly said in my post
go back and read my very easy to understand post and answer the question
even better, go find the thread or threads you're referring to and copy the links here

Oh don't worry i believe you don't remember which makes my point. It was a big to do back when it happened and the fact you don't recall it just shows how biased you are.
Just like you probably don't remember the obama admin excluding Fox News even though that got plenty of air time too
-
so the Obama standard is the same as the Trump standard ?
Nope i agree that a lot of trumps tactics and actions are unacceptable. The issue is that a lot of the people pissed off are the same people that turned a blind eye to the same shit when obama did it.
Trump has taken obamas playbook and run it to a T. He is divisive, uses rhetoric that creates a boogeyman for his supporters to target their rage and used shady tactics to get his way.
If it is wrong now, it was wrong then but only now are these people standing up and calling it out, why is that?
Remember the old saying from WW2 about the Germans coming for all the groups and the guy not doing anything and then there being no one left to stand up when they came for him?
Well dick nuts you let all that shit slide when obama was president so why would you think trump would not use the same tactics?

Trump skipping the obnoxious White House correspondence dinner.
I love this guy. Great decision.

I wonder what the betting odds are for this Trump -Russia connection ?
My hunch is , it goes pretty deep and won't end well for Uncle Donald.
I guess it's whatever the talking heads, like Politifact, like to say it is:

Map I don't remember as you didn't post much during obamas tenure but where you mad when he spied on the press or did the same thing to Fox News?
I agree it's shit just like it was when Obama did it

No.
Didn't bother my day to day life.

This is so brutal, damn. Both things. But her quote in particular is a WTF you must see to believe. A revealing glimpse into the culture of the Media Meeting Room, really, for people so clueless to use the term "free press" as if it applies to our situation (of collusive billionaires controlling the message, which is what it is).
Lol, what a smackdown.

I'm sure Option D was disgusted when Obama tried to censor Fox News.
