Am I supposed to be upset about this?

We should.

You like Trump facts, RTS, so you should be fine. The rest of us who enjoy the truth would like to see a news organization that challenges the Leader.

 

One month in and he has banned news organizations. :puke:

:lol2: I like Trump Facts? :lol2:

 

I just don't care. They don't want to be professional. They don't want to be factual. But you guys get upset about Trump not being either. So tell me again, why should I care? Please stop pretending the media are innocent bystanders in all of this. They brought a lot of this on themselves by pushing their bias.

We can't have a WH that picks what outlets get to sit in. When you have Breitbart in you lose all credibility as far as "fake news."

 

I've asked before and I'll ask again. How many fake stories have their been about the President?

Clyde, I really just don't care anymore. Do I agree with Trump on this? No. Do I care? Heck no! You guys are so one sided. You will call out Trump, but you won't call out the media. You had 8 years to call out Obama and crickets from the vast majority of you guys. I take that back, the vast majority of you made excuses for him. So, tell me, why should I care now that the tables have turned?

There's politics and then there is hand picking who gets access.

Let them toss these outlets out if it makes them feel better. I just renewed my subscription to the Times. Best newspaper on the planet.

What does Trump accomplish with this?

They are setting records for digital subscriptions.

Trump following through on promises. He said he would be great for business and it looks like the media business has never been better.

This was a "press gaggle". An informal briefing in the press secretary's office. Not all media could fit in the office and some had to be left out. The media invited were to share the data with the ones who were not in the room. They all received the same written statement.

 

So the media not invited in were upset. Who gets to decide who gets in and who stays out? I am sure the left leaning media wants to make this decision so the right leaning media gets left out. The WH choose the latter and some are upset.

 

Since they all got the same statement and should have shared the data I see this as all about EGO.

Spicer made it very clear that was retaliation. He said in the "gaggle" that this was about not letting "false narratives get out there." In addition, the reporter who asked him why those outlets were not allowed said there was plenty of room for them.

 

It could not be any clearer.
