January 11, 2017 - President Elect Trump gives a Press Conference and Jim Acosta throws a temper tantrum, stands on a chair and yells at the Mr Trump that he must be given a question - Trump says NO, you are rude, sit down - you are FAKE NEWS. The Media goes bonkers.
“We’re sending surrogates to places where we think it makes sense to promote our agenda,” said a White House official, acknowledging that CNN is not such a place, but adding that the ban is not permanent.
A CNN reporter, speaking on background, was more blunt: The White House is trying to punish the network and force down its ratings.
Administration officials are still answering questions from CNN reporters. But administration officials including White House press secretary Sean Spicer and senior counselor Kellyanne Conway haven't appeared on the network's programming in recent weeks.
(Update: On Wednesday, the day after this article was published, the White House made Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a Deputy Assistant to the President for national security available for an interview.)
On February 1, they send a minor Administration official - still no Trump Administration on Jake Tapper's Sunday show ..... oops, Time for another Tantrum.
News comes out on Monday, Feb 6 that they are thinking about "banning" Kelly Anne Conway because she is "incompetent" and that SHE called them and asked to be on the show and they turned her down.
Kelly Anne says they called her and she had to refuse because she had plans with her family. What makes the most sense here? TeamTrump has worked every single day since the Inauguration - including Saturdays and Sundays. That's 15 days with non-stop work, until they all took Saturday & Sunday off.
Sounds pretty reasonable that they would like to "spend time with family" - it's also been non-stop "Outrage" by the Media since long before the Inauguration.
Sounds like an excellent plan for the Trump Administration to give CNN what they are asking for. According to the WSJ - Trump wants Kelly Anne to focus on Communications. Makes her job easier if CNN is not interested in talking to her - you can bet they won't be talking to the others in the Administration also, she is in charge of that.
I think CNN will get what they ask for and they can't blame the Trump Administration anymore for "Freezing they Out".
In similar "fake news" vein, Trump kept calling the intelligence reports about Russian connections to his campaign fake, demanding that the IC provide him with evidence.
They did. He admitted there might be something to it and immediately thereafter, three FSB cybersecurity experts were arrested for being American spies and passing info to our CIA.
One was hauled out of a meeting with FSB agents with a bag over his head.
Fascinating as your lengthy timeline is, CNN seems to be doing fine without Kellyanne and the "alternative facts" crowd.
McConnell was on CNN this weekend, throwing some serious shade, making clear that there will be no federal money for Trump's voter fraud snipe hunt, and that he doesn't go along with badmouthing judges.
Things are heating up here, folks.

Conway's consist use of "alternative facts," such as the nonexistent and roundly ridiculed "Bowling Green Massacre," pushed CNN to pointedly turn down the White House's offer to have her appear on the network's Sunday shows, a decision which may become permanent.
Maybe not, but if he only sends his surrogates to appear on Fox, his message will only get out to the true believers.
If Trump were to appear on CNN, then the 74 million people that didn't vote for him and some of the 92 million non-voters would hear his world view, although he may have to bring Pence along to filter out the absurdities.
LOL!
Are you kidding?
CNN's viewership these days in the few hundred thousand range. Total viewers is somewhere around a million on a god day. The vast majority of America doesn't watch it at all.

You think that was "lengthy" ...... where is your Cave.?
My posts are always full of LINKS and usually a fair bit of commentary.
I don't watch all this TeeVee stuff .... I learned to read a long, long time ago and have no need for "experts" to "explain" to me what I should think is important.
I don't doubt that McConnell "was on CNN" and "throwing serious shade".
None of the Elite Political Establishment types are very fond of President Trump or the "Forgotten people" who came out of the woodwork to send him to the White House.
CNN will reap exactly what they Sow ..... funny how often that happens.

Yes, but in our secret meetings where we pray to the devil and plan how to steal your guns, we talk about what is in the news and the word gets around.
