After whining for 8 straight years about how Obama was going to destroy the 2nd amendment, Trump comes right out and denies DOZENS of news sources their FIRST AMENDMENT rights.

I guess the GOP really does only care about one amendment.

Nothing can be more an an example of government prior restraint than preventing investigation and coverage of government.
 
this was for one off the record meeting yes? As I understand it not all members of the press pool get the same priveleges. Some get exclusive interviews etc. Unless it happens on a daily basis and on the official press breifings i would not be worried.

You've never seen the Left stifle dissent? And not so subtly...

Turnabout is fair play.

“We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. “As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”
