Trump bans CNN and NYT from press briefing.

Figures. As noted in the thread linked in my previous post, Obama did not ban Fox News.

:smack:

I was thinking it might be neo nazi code. My Occam’s Razor is a little rusty!

One more step towards impeachment? Is anyone keeping track of the journey of a thousand steps?

The amazing thing is that there’s not one bad fictional President that trump hasn’t been compared to. Stillson, Scudder, Windrip, Comacho, Chauncy Gardner. I keep trying and when I google trump+whoever, someone’s always gotten there first.

The trouble is, the press is reporting on this story instead of continuing to report on the FBI-Russian story from earlier. The press is continually getting played by Trump and getting deflected from more important stories and they don’t seem to be learning that he’s all theater.

Lex Luthor? Jordan Lyman (Seven Days in May?) Aaron Burr (it could have happened!)

I think you misspelled the word months.

If anything the 10th month would be renamed Ivankatober.

I think Trump should still be invited; everyone else can no-show at the last moment. Either that or let Rosie O’Donnell and/or Alec Baldwin emcee.

I doubt that. I haven’t forgotten the FBI thing, nor will 45’s political opponents. And unless things change, he’s not even throwing the Republican attack dogs off the scent. When and if there are hearings, there will be plenty of coverage. It’s not going away.

(I like the 45 thing, btw. It gets a little old calling him the Orangutan all the time.)

I’d compare him to Charles Logan from 24.

the trump/Luthor thing has been done many times. Here’s just one take.

I think that this is awesome!

Screw the liberal, lying, fake news MSM.

They are not media, they are basically a propaganda wing of the Democrat party and they have been colluding for a long time.

It’s very refreshing to see how much more transparent and how much more honest this administration behaves in contrast to the previous clowns and incompetent corruptocrats.

Trump should treat them like the enemy that they are.

Let them boycott.

We do not need the MSM.

Phhhhhh

Bwahahahahahahahaha!

This is the most corrupt president we’ve had since Nixon, and he’s just getting started!

Less Than Transparent: Journalists Fault Obama

Mr. Earnest highlighted some of the ways the Obama administration has improved transparency in the White House. Yet, over nearly the past eight years, the Society of Professional Journalists and other groups have repeatedly outlined to the administration various ways in which transparency has gotten worse, including:

And this negates 45 being the most corrupt president since Nixon… How?

I am trying to understand this too about Trump supporters , maybe they hate to admit they made a huge mistake voting for trump b/c it would mean they voted for someone who has no clue to what the fuck he is doing ! Trump sure isn’t representing me ! The only" enemy of the people " I am seeing is Trump !

I’m pretty sure Fox was not invited.

"Technically off the record, the president’s extended conversation in the Roosevelt Room that afternoon with 18 prominent columnists was part of a White House tradition aimed at influencing Washington thought leaders without leaving fingerprints — and without fear that an offhand comment from the commander in chief would spark the latest social media firestorm.

These presidential briefings are “a way for people to be able to set aside the urgency of supplying the latest quote from the president of the United States and sit back and listen to the broader argument,” said Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary. He declined to comment on the participants or the content of the discussions."

Pretty sure Fox wasn’t invited here either:

“Speaking privately at the White House on Monday with a group of mostly liberal columnists and commentators, including Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann of MSNBC and Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and Bob Herbert of The New York Times, Mr. Obama himself gave vent to sentiments about the network, according to people briefed on the conversation.”

Care to point out where in your link that supports that conclusion?

“… and btw, top aides have done small briefings for hand selected reporters forever.”
