Trump is blocking the real media. This is pure authoritarian Russian Nazi or North Korean bullshit.

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.

I'm really curious to see the justification for this. I can't see any justification for this. This is not a good sign, at all.

Republicans love this.

Sorry, there just wasn't enough seating for those fake news outlets. LOL

Nothing can be more an an example of government prior restraint than preventing investigation and coverage of government.

CNN outright lies and has colluded with the DNC.

I don't think the lack of seating was your point.

Correct, my point was that the right loves to control dissent. The snarky comment about seating limits evidenced sheer joy at Trump stifling dissent.

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.

Give me an example of Another potus excluding the opposing party from press briefings. You lack any principles at all. Tribe over everything. Yuck.

Attacking the news media is a time-honored White House tactic but to an unusual degree, the Obama administration has narrowed its sights to one specific organization, the Fox News Channel, calling it, in essence, part of the political opposition.

“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.”
