What was the last POTUS that didn't have any "exclusionary" access for some news people or interviewers?
Have you watched many of these pressers? So many of the questions are asked over and over again that it bogs it down. How many times can you Field the same question about a specific LGBT bathroom issue with slightly different wording?
This allows them to have a secondary presser in which they can have people who aren't focused on beating a dead horse.
You just lost my respect completely and here I thought you weren't the typical Trumpster.... ignored bigly!
They picked Breibart over NY Times? Give me a break!!
Why is any White House/administration not 'entitled' to pick any news source they wish (if any) to tell about current events?
Their circus, their monkeys. Ours not, in this case, to question why (these are their choices).
If they restricted all media from reporting anything about anyone anywhere or any time from any source, that would be an infringement of media (and our) rights. And at that point we should all protest, VERY loudly - and have it taken as fast as possible up the ladder to the Supreme Court.
But, their 'choice' if they are selecting particular groups to get access or even if they give limited access to some and more to others, etc. for their particular news only is not of real import. If you want the NYT to get better access perhaps you should lobby the NYT to clean up their act. They are better writers perhaps than most but they are just as slanted many times as the worst of them.
The press has no right to be continuously briefed by the president and the WH, you do realize this correct?
Without the Washington Post doing investigative work, the public still wouldn't know that Flynn lied to the Vice President about his multiple phone calls to the Russians over getting the sanctions removed in exchange for the Russians not pushing the embarrassing news about Trumps orgy in a Moscow Hotel.
Today we learned that the White House tried to silence the FBI over Trumps contacts with the Russians. Would the Prez come out and tell the American people that he tried to get the FBI to say there was nothing going on when it is clear that multiple contacts were made, and in exchange the Russians fiddled with the election?
The Press has every right to investigate the stories behind the actions of our supposed leaders, especially when the 'leaders' have been proven to lie over and over again. To do so without repercussions would allow an already out of control White House to take steps to further tighten their control on the people.
I really don't think you would enjoy living in such a nation. I know I would not.
