The White House blocked a number of news outlets from covering spokesman Sean Spicer’s question-and-answer session on Friday afternoon.
Spicer decided to hold an off-camera “gaggle” with reporters inside his West Wing office instead of the traditional on-camera briefing in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.
Among the outlets not permitted to cover the gaggle were news organizations President Trump has singled out for criticism, including CNN.
ADVERTISEMENT The New York Times, The Hill, Politico, BuzzFeed, the Daily Mail, BBC, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News were among the other news organizations not permitted to attend.
Journalists from several right-leaning outlets were allowed into Spicer’s office, including Breitbart, the Washington Times and One America News Network.
A number of major news organizations were also let in to cover the gaggle. That group included ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Reuters, Bloomberg and McClatchy.

Awesome. Maybe some of the Trump bashing at the press conferences will stop.
Anybody got an audio-video link to the briefing?
Su-weet!
Its about time. Screw them.
Is that against the law?
Is there some rule that says the President must allow people who hate him, who want to hurt is Presidency, and who have repeatedly demonstrated they will lie to do it... is there some rule that says the President must coddle, and humor, and accommodate such people?
WIN-O-MANIA!!!
The hysteria from the elite media is stunning. They act like a privileged class of cartel gang members. Time to break up their organized crime.
And then have a couple of other cameras focused on them and they tape them as they squirm.
I'd watch that, in fact I'd pay to watch that.
Good. They have hated him since he was elected. They have trashed him since the news broke. This won’t change anything, but it will give them a taste of their own medicine.
Since the alphabet channels were there, CNN is covered.
CNN, NY Times, Compost and the alphabets all have the same talking points coming from Soros and Obama.
They only care if they aren’t picked
The liberals are saying that by not speaking to the Fake News outlets Trump is “shutting down the press”. You know, just like Hitler did.
; )
TRUE. Past time!
Love it! Maybe some will make an attempt to tell the truth now. Nah, probably not.
It’s a first amendment right.
The Daily Mail and BBC are not even American. America First.
This will lead the nightly news as if it were news illustrating just why they were disinvited.
Trump should take them golfing at Mara Lago.
