Hiding from media?

Organizations allowed in included Breitbart News, the One America News Network and The Washington Times, all with conservative leanings. Journalists from ABC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Fox News also attended.

I thought this was a joke, but of course Trumo never fails to stack another L.

[NVious]

Oh no, he's treating them with the animosity they treat him, THE HORRORS!!!

And yeah I'm sure he hopes that this'll cause them to stop reporting on him.

Great move!

How is he hiding from the media? ABC, CBS, Bloomberg were there too. NYT/CNN/Politico aren't owed sh!t

Hiding from media?

Republicans are hiding from voters in town halls while supreme lord potato is hiding from reporters who criticize him.

[TLTrooper]

Thin skinned? He handles them like they're misbehaving children lol. He has no problem calling them out, what do you mean thin skinned? If anything, he just doesn't want to deal with them anymore, but I guess its just easier to anonymously try and make the POTUS look weak on an online forum.

[MinisterOfLust]

Very weird behavior from the Orange man.

This is quite a victory, and your tears are icing on the cake

[rocketfish]

lol cnn has become a joke. i said it before and i'll say it again

i used to believe cnn was the more balanced network in the mid 2000's .. now they are just propaganda

[TsarChasm]

Obama did this numerous times with Fox. No mentions of that though.

[tightteeshirt]

good. they are not honest organizations and are trying to undermine our country.

[ImpressiveGainz]

Very fake news

LMAO It only an L if you are a liberal. I'd be pissed too if I were you. LMAO.

Looks like some media outlets were "hiding from trump"

Reporters from Time magazine and The Associated Press, who were set to be allowed in to the briefing, chose not to attend in protest of the White House�s actions.

[lntense]

Well CNN isn't news... so technically it doesn't matter.

Win-Win

[ceizer1985]

Obama did this numerous times with Fox. No mentions of that though.

And other outlets, including people who now work at CNN, stood up in support of Fox News at the time. Will Fox News return the favor?

It's a weak move, I'd just sit them in the back and not take questions from them.

With that being said the article is riddled with falsehoods, as nearly a year ago the Obama Administration meet privately with liberal media sources to discuss policy. Also nowhere it says those media outlets are banned, they simply weren't included in this event. So much for unheard of.

hilarious

[Azrairc]

liberals should be thankful, trump just fights back. OBama used the Justice Department and the F.B.I. to spy on reporters by monitoring their phone records, labeled one journalist an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case for simply doing reporting and issued subpoenas to other reporters to try to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases.

Nah its a strong move. The WH has been adding more and more outlets to the mix, and not giving the big media crops preferential treatment at briefings. That's smart because access is what they all want. He diminishes the Times and CNN, while elevating better new sources.

Obama set the president by banning Fox news because he didn't like what they said.
Don't have a problem with Trump doing the same.

[N0rds]

The National Enquirer and Star weren't invited, why should CNN be?

I can see your point. Just don't want to play into the narrative they are fabricating by giving them ammunition to use, in my opinion.

No mater what Trump does, they will never give him favorable press. So I say go for it. By giving access to others he might be able to give more moderate sources a boost.

reporter's at fox have been defending CNN since "fake news" became a thing.
