When Breitbart and One America News Network are allowed in while CNN and the NY Times are not, the intention is pretty evident.

I am saying it is bad thing and just showed list. Let us see if there is further clarification about the process.

This sums it up nicely.

The MSM ARE transparent!

They were in the tank for Hillary. Still are. Anyone could see that.

You people wouldn't look so silly if you actually read the history you like to quote. You then might actually learn something.

Trumps administration made a ton of (hollow) promises about jobs, trade, health care, immigration, schools, oil, and "draining the swamp". Pretty much everyone knew it was a bunch of BS, hence the low vote count. But, give or take a little Russian shenanigans, he was duly elected. What the people who voted for him THOUGHT they were getting, only they know.


But now, here we are, on the verge of repeating some very nasty global history. I can't recall a nation where Democracy has survived this sort of onslaught unless the uprising can be squelched very quickly.


I don't mean to pick on you as I am sure you are a very nice person and well intended. But just imagine for a second that YOU are the one receiving the not so good news from the Fuhrer. The local boss comes on Saturday to tell you that your house now belongs to the state, but you can live in it as long as you pay the taxes to the fuhrer. Your job on Monday will be picking beans at $5.00 per hour. You will get a chit which will be good at the state grocery store and the state gas station. Information on where to find these will be on the State TV channel. Your children have been removed to the medical lab for experimentation on chemical weapons we are developing to defeat the Chinese who have foreclosed on our debt.


"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country". I can't spend more time explaining what to many (you) is inexplicable. But if you don't think this is a very serious time in our nation's history, I can tell you that between posts I received an email from a VERY senior former State Attorney. The list of names on the email was stunning, at least to me who is a little peon fighting for his country. The message was STOP posting and emailing and trying to convince people who don't wish to listen that they need to come to their senses, whatever their political persuasion. The time now is for action.


And so I am off. I respect his pleading and will do anything I can to help him attempt to save our nation. Just think about it, please, before you take it for granted that a person who has lied to you about every single thing they have done or will do, who has brought in militant tactics to round up the people (who is to say the boss doesn't come around tomorrow and say YOU lied or consorted because you watched CNN one time? Innocent? Who cares?) and who is now sequestering the press because they are closing in on his tactics, is somehow looking out for you.


For anyone out side of the Bannon cabal, he is NOT, nor is he looking out for America, except as to how he can take it over and plunder the assets.


Go ahead. Don't believe me. Record the date. And remember the advice you were given. Good luck to you and your family. It is time to be an American who supports and protects the Constitution.

Good, because it is repugnant that bigoted views are fraudulently misrepresented as facts by the Media.

You might want to read the Constitution, because there's nothing in the Constitution that says the Media is entitled to be at briefings.

Other presidents have banned media. When Obama banned FOX, they had a fit.
Proof?

He never banned Fox or any other legitimate news organization.

CBS, WT, ABC, NBC are there. Leaving CNN is intentional. They actually marked CBS, Margaret Brennan (pool) Wall Street Journal (pool) as a pool. I don't know what does it mean.

True.

They are an arm of the Democratic Party under the State known as the United States.
