To avoid Scott Pruitt being asked tough questions, the EPA banned the Associated Press, E&E Environmental news, and CNN from attending the briefing.



"Guards barred an AP reporter from passing through a security checkpoint inside the building. When the reporter asked to speak to an EPA public-affairs person, the security guards grabbed the reporter by the shoulders and shoved her forcibly out of the EPA building."

Good start, but only JUST a start, of fighting back the Fake News purveyors. Keep it up President Trump, we are all behind you in your efforts to Make America Great Again.

Liberals keep telling me that if they ban "assault rifles", they haven't banned ALL firearms, so this means they have NOT violated the 2nd amendment since we can still buy some firearms.

I'm waiting for those same liberals to announce that since the EPA only banned certain "news" organizations, but not all of them, they have NOT violated the 1st amendment's protection of freedom of the press since we can still listen to some news organizations.

Anybody want to set up a pool on when they will announce that?

the fake news media should have been banned from the WH press room also a long time ago.

As I pointed out elsewhere, when a liberal tries to justify his socialistic agenda, it doesn't take long for them to start telling silly lies about conservatives or Republicans.

And this one led off his post with some classic fibs.

And these people wonder why nobody listens to them any more.

It's all the same to them.
What the hell are you talking about? After 8 years of hateful rhetoric from Obozo who didnt have a clue how government works, threatening the SCOTUS if they didnt side with him, Declaring that he will bypass congress if they dont approve his garbage socialist fiats..and his slobbering lapdog media and ultra racist supporters cheered him on and you said NOTHING. Now, your snippy outrage is supposed to be taken seriously? Forget it.

They don't have a right to be present everywhere. But they can still report on it and hate him as much as they always have and you guys do.

With all due respect, you have no idea what you're talking about. He's not worth the energy hate requires.

Hey OP how about knowing what the first amendment is before yammering along mindlessly on subjects you have proven you know nothing about?

Good thing they didn't ban all press.
They can pay the guys that attended for the story and video.
