Trump bans CNN and NYT from press briefing.

Obama Boots Reporters From Conservative Papers

This is from Julie Mason, a talk show host on NPR radio (and very much not a conservative one)

“Yeah the Obama WH used to selectively invite reporters to gaggles, too. It was wrong then, wrong now”

… and https://twitter.com/juliemason/status/835290505655238656

“Not comparing it to Fox incident. Obama press office hand-picked attendees for gaggles, which I know because I was excluded often”

In 2008. During his campaign. From the airplane. Yeah, totally equivalent.

Susan Ferrechio, from Washington Examiner:

“Shutting out certain news orgs from gaggles happens regularly on Capitol Hill. Difference is WaPo etc., get access, so they don’t complain”

I kinda like that in that arc Luthor fell from grace because he just could not help himself to seek revenge on Superman and the justice league even when they (specially Superman) were at the start willing to help the new president. His overreach and hate lead him to crimes that could not be denied so Luthor served fewer than three years as president.

“Present at the meeting: MSNBC’s Ed Schultz and Lawrence O’Donnell, Washington Post economics blogger Ezra Klein, Mother Jones Washington bureau chief David Corn, Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Josh Marshall, ThinkProgress editor-in-chief Judd Legum, Atlantic senior editor Garance Franke-Ruta, Salon political writer Brian Beutler and Fox News contributor Juan Williams.”

Oh look. Juan Williams. ROTFLMAO. Who’s who in leftist press.

I only see here just ignorance of what was promised by “honest” Donald’s cabinet.

Obama held secret meetings with his friends in the liberal MSM.

What none of the journalists told readers, because they had promised the White House that they would not, was that their attempts to portray the president’s intentions had followed a lengthy and secret meeting with Mr. Obama the day he delivered the speech.

He’s from Fox News. Which proves you wrong.

Uh hu.

If Spicer could find a NYT reporter as right-wing as Juan Williams is left, I am sure he would have invited him.

Except he couldn’t, apparently. Kinda emphasizes the difference between Fox and NYT maybe?

Funny thing - there’s a link in that article

Let’s just see where that link leads us…

You know, I’ve grown used to the fact that you post nothing that isn’t misleading or false, but could you at least try a little harder, Okrahoma?

Leftist, my ass.

I don’t think it shows what you think it does.

You’re becoming repetitive.

Spicer also invited ABC and CBS to this gaggle, didn’t he?

It shows that the White House does hold “gaggles” where they exclude some media organizations. Just like this time.

:rolleyes:

I was not replying to your silly points, but to another poster that claimed that the linked article showed Obama inviting only the liberal press on those “secret” meets. Not the case.

Everything about that will be hilarious.

Sheesh, there is plenty of shit to flog the Donald over. Me thinks that those on the left should let the grey areas go simple because there is so much black white material available. Don’t give the right wing nut jobs ammo (although that looks pretty tough).

BTW, for the first time ever, I subscribed to the NY Times. Vote with your pocket book, baaybee. :slight_smile:

Up until the point the Orangeshirts emerge and block all the exits.

Chance the gardner/Chauncey Gardiner was never President.
