On Friday, February 24[SUP]th[/SUP], the Trump administration issued a “gaggle” against reporters from the
New York Times,
Los Angeles Times,
CNN, and
Politico, prohibiting them from gaining access to the White House press briefing. The ban was quickly followed by a boycott of the press meeting by
Time magazine and the
Associated Press. To their credit, these two outlets did what White House reporters should have already done – stop attending press conferences dominated by obvious fabrications, distortions, and propaganda.
