So what didn't they want us- the American people-to see?

Does anyone in the Trump administration not see that this lack of transparency around dealings with the Russians only serves to add more fuel to the fire?

Trump bars U.S. media from White House meeting, but lets in Russian photographers

Google, twitter and facebook, will have to ease up on the censoring of RT News, to get the scoop here.

Well, I mean there's lots I don't know.

But in this context, what exactly is it that you think I don't know?
You don't know why the meeting happened, what was discussed, nor anything else about it.

And here's something bigger: Even if the Leftist American MSM would have been there - and "reported" on it - you STILL wouldn't know what was going on. All you'd know is their spin - what they've decided they want you to know.

Does the Leftist MSM deserve to be present during all governmental meetings on all subjects and topics at all times? NO.


I'm pretty sure that most Americans are no longer smart enough to know what the media is supposed to be and do.
So, just to clarify, you're OK with Russian media being present, but not American media. Yes?

Constitutionally, they can be and do pretty much anything they want, as long as it isn't otherwise against the law.

See the liberal desperation is still churning away at things that don't matter. Keep it up, it insures a GOP win in 2020 and beyond!
You are glad that the Russian press is invited into the White House to sit in on a meeting between our president and their leaders, but the American press is excluded? You are GLAD?

Very good, Comrade. Your indoctrination is now complete.
