The Trump Presidency

Spicer didn't allow the NYT, CNN, BuzzFeed, or Politico into the press briefing this afternoon.

This is going to get dirty.

Edit: Dirtier, rather.

I don't approve of this. They are making these hack news outlets martyrs.

Lol. Yeah, okay.

WASHINGTON — The International Monetary Fund on Monday raised its forecast for the U.S. economy over the next two years, saying President-elect Donald Trump’s policies would boost economic growth

The forecast, which is part of the 189-nation lending agency’s Global Economic Outlook Update, noted that Trump’s election has already given a significant boost to U.S. stock prices, interest rates and the dollar.

I don't usually say this, but **** you. Freedom of the press is a very important part of America. I'm not sure if Trump is a fascist or a baby.

Yep. It's one of the big reasons for me.

Either lock that **** up or prevent them from getting pregnant in the first place. They have medicine for girls and guys and we wouldn't have to worry about it. Especially for those who commit crimes and can't pay for them after they are born.

I like the Starship Trooper concept by earning it with responsibility and what not.........but ACLU will have a field day with that.

So what? Did Obama ban Fox from his press conferences who blatantly lied, etc. about Obama? Seriously **** Trump, and if you defend this **** you.

thethe's post was talking about Trump calling CNN the Clinton News Network, not Spicer barring CNN/NYT/BuzzFeed from the spin room on a boring Friday afternoon (which thethe condemned).

So, **** your ****ty reading comprehension.

And, while we're at it, **** you if you are dense enough to view what Spicer did as a legitimate attack on the freedom of the press.

How is it not? Giving access to the executive office to preferential bias reporters? Seriously that isn't an attack?

Because it was a Friday afternoon (dump cycle) off-camera meeting in Sean Spicer's office. Clearly theatrical, and devised to come on the heels of Trump's CPAC speech.

When any single one of these outlets is prohibited from attending a full brief you should then feel free to continue your hysterical bitching.

Sorry, I wish I had your optimistic view. What we're seeing is unprecedented. If one of Obama's press secretaries had an "off-camera" meeting with Arianna Huffington, you wouldn't flip your ****? I find that hard to believe. Again, this is pretty much unprecedented.

But let's keep it stupid stupid. Here's what happens.

Trump spends 12 of 48 minutes of his CPAC speech deriding the media. He then has his press secretary hold a gaggle which was originally supposed to be on camera, they changed it, banning memebers of the media who would be the ones he would deride the most. Or to cite 2 outlets who did attend

"The Committee to Protect Journalists and the National Press Club both condemned it, as did two outlets whose reporters did sit in on the gaggle, The Wall Street Journal and McClatchy. Both publications indicated that they did not initially realize that Spicer was barring other outlets from the briefing and pledged to boycott similar arrangements in the future.

"The Wall Street Journal strongly objects to the White House's decision to bar certain media outlets from today's gaggle," the paper said. "Had we known at the time, we would not have participated and we will not participate in such closed briefings in the future." "

But yeah, it's not a big deal.

You can't even present a coherent prosecution. Meeting privately with reporters is not unprecedented - stop spouting bull****.

But yeah, it's not a big deal.

How about you tell me what you actually think the 'big deal' here is instead of just regurgitating other people's reactions?
 
Sorry, but when the left didn't bat an eye lash when Obama signed NDAA in 2012, their cries of "authoritarian dictatorship" ring very hollow to me
