Banned by Trump
For the first time, the White House decided to ban some major news outlets from a White House Briefing. Banned were the NY Times, Los Angeles Times, CNN, and Politico. White House refused to admit they were banned for not printing the company line. Sound like the early days of Putin?
From CNN's Jake Trapper: Quote:
Apparently this has something to do with stories from these news media that Trump tried to get the FBI to quash the fact that top Trump campaign people were in regular conversation with Russian intelligent agents. Who does Trump's plumbing? Last edited by tw; 02-24-2017 at 08:37 PM. |

They weren't banned. They involuntarily withdrew. You really need to bone up on your Trump-speak.

Listed were four banned news services. Apparently the BBC and Guardian were also banned - since the British news services are also propaganda arms of the liberal media. Since they too reported on how Trump tried to suppress multiple "Trump campaign / Russian intelligence" conversations. Some others, who discovered the ban, boycotted the briefing. Others, who discovered the ban after that briefing, said they would have also boycotted. Long time White House correspondents stated it had never happened previously in their professional lifetime. But this is classic Trump - with lying. Neither Fox News (in 21 years) nor any other news service with credentials was banned from a White House briefing. One should know that before posting empty accusations. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

Some withdrew because others were banned.
heh - reread your comment. Some voluntarily withdrew because others involuntarily withdrew.

Favorite comment about this "it's petulant" hahaha!
Favorite result about this, those not withdrawn shared their notes and audio with those who'd been shunned. HAHAHA HAHA!

To be fair - I seem to recall Obama excluding Fox from briefings - or am I mis-remembering?

Could be, certainly Clinton wouldn't exclude any Foxes.
