President Trump has held three news conferences with foreign leaders over the last several weeks. The traditional format for these events is that the U.S. press gets two questions and the foreign press gets two. That's it.
Here are the U.S. news organizations Trump has called on for questions in each of those three pressers:
Shinzo Abe/Donald Trump (Feb. 10)
NY Post
Fox
Justin Trudeau/Donald Trump (Feb. 13)
ABC 7 (Sinclair)
Daily Caller
Benjamin Netanyahu/Donald Trump (Feb. 15)
Christian Broadcasting Network
Townhall
All six of those outlets are conservative or conservative leaning. In the case of the last two news conference — Feb. 13 and 15 — none of the questions asked were about Michael Flynn, the recently departed national security adviser, or the recent revelations regarding the regular contact between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence officials.

STFU and go pursue your impeachment. you ####s.
Is this an admission from the Compost they are liberal media?
watchagonnadoaboutit, publish more leaks?
Is there some law that says he has to take questions from people who hate him and who are working together to destroy him and his Presidency?
MSM gets upset over being out in the cold.
Hey, they report fake news and are dishonest.
Trump isn’t going to give them the time of day and they need to get used to it.
Its a new era.
Good. Trump fights.
and obama only took questions off the Huff Post, NY Times, Wash Post, CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC.
You cry babies never had a problem when the liberal media were being asked, and you returned the favor with dopey questions like how humble do you feel now you are President.
Contrast that to how you treated the President of America today you lying scumbags.
Democratic Party pressitutes.
They wore kneepads for Hillary and never said a critical word about her.
Now they demand Trump answer tough questions. ROFL
The chutzpah is staggering. Trump is right to go over their heads to the American people.
Who can tell the difference between real news and fake news.
Get used to it Chrissy. Lots more where that came from.
America simply isn’t suited for those who believe rights, liberties and freedoms derive from government, an organization or an individual. These freedoms are derived from God. If you don’t understand this you don’t understand the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution or America. You’re in the wrong country.
Exactly
The MSM did nothing about Benghazi, never even reported the wikileaks in the election about Clinton. Never gave Rice a hard time for lying about the deaths of Americans. IRS targeting conservatives, or even how many pleaded the 5th .
Now the media are saying they are doing their job by asking tough questions. Screw you media scum. You have an agenda and have lied. This time though people have had enough of your crap and lies.
The more the left act up like babies, and protest, or not turn up for votes , then the average American is turning them away.
Well if the fascist leftwing “media” would listen to themselves ask questions, they would understand why.
Considering the public hates the media, this comes across as self-interested special pleading.
Knock them down from their lofty perches. No one cares they don’t get asked to pose the President their biased questions.
Obama only took questions from the Leftist MSM for eight years.
Welcome to sanity W.P.
Looks fair and balanced to me
Trump is holding more press conferences than Obama did in 8 years in office.
Its just that the MSM is not accustomed to being treated like that by a Republican.
But Trump isn’t the kind of Republican who lives and dies by the media.
He got elected in spite of them.
Fake News loses! About time.
