An incensed President-Elect Donald Trump has asked the First Amendment gurus on his legal team if it is permissible to expel or restrict CNN and BuzzFeed News personnel from White House press corps, a transition insider told True Pundit.
At a raucous press conference Wednesday Trump warned BuzzFeed and CNN “would suffer the consequences” for publishing “fake news” about him, though he did not elaborate.

If they can’t show any respect for the President or for the Presidency... they don’t belong there.
“just seat them in the back of the room.”
This is the approach I would take. Being expelled would make them a martyr.
imho - IGNORING them for 8 full years would be the deepest cut.
I think I would run that by Jim Robinson FIRST!!!
Just say to CNN...you’re welcome to be here Just not with this guy. He’s out of here. Revoke his credentials, and let CNN assign someone else.
I think they should put a group of chairs together back in one corner and label them for NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN...all of the Fake Stream Media people...
They aren’t going to like being disciplined.
:-)
Ho ho ho! I can hardly wait for the howling to begin! I love what Trump is doing with the media!
CNN was the First 24/7 News Channel and now a Joke
CNN has to be funded by billionaires. They wouldn’t be able to survive paying their on-air people with their ratings.
Good idea! Why not? FR press corp. :) No idea what would happen. Tell them Mr. Robinson sent you.
“...I think they should put a group of chairs together back in one corner and label them for NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN...all of the Fake Stream Media people...”

Would it not be hilarious to see Trump put his hand up over his forehead, like shading his eyes and looking far off in the distance and say, “Oh...It’s you guys!!!” Then ignore them????
Remove all their creature comforts. Give them offices in closets with no air conditioning. Dial-up web access only. No coffee or cafeteria privileges, etc.
About darn time we have a Republican in the White House who STANDS UP to the Commie media!!!
CNN's size and reach as a broadcasting giant should not figure into the equation if they are deemed unreliable, prejudiced, and actively harboring an agenda.
A few months or years without access to the press pool could be a good thing for CNN. It's way past time that they suffered the consequences of their bias. Perhaps they will be encouraged to be more responsible and ethical as a result.
(Oh, who am I kidding...)
If they could tell me to get lost under those circumstances, surely they can tell CNN's critters to get lost.
I figured out what CNN was back in 2006 when they started trashing Israel and calling them murderers..no one in Israel watches CNN they know CNN stands for the Anti Israel Network
Of course Trump can kick them out if he likes.
I bet a lot of the LIVs are under the impression that these MSM news organizations are somehow officially designated or officially licensed by the government as First Amendment Press entities and are therefore entitled to special legal rights over Joe Blow Blogger on the web. Not true.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the President has to speak to the press at all.
I agree and have been thinking about respect as I’m watching the Tillerson hearing.
Several Dems have the condescending habit of questioning if Tillerson understands issues relating to their questions.
From what I’m seeing he can think circles around most, if not all, of them.
