I have no problem with it either but, considering the source and the way the article is worded, this is probably fake news. If President Trump really wanted a reporter banned there is no doubt in my mind that the reporter in question would be banned.

There’s no God-given, or Constitutional, right to have the press in any of these events. Just pull the plug already and get down to serious business. These circus situations detract from the serious business; they’re a mockery.

No one seemed to mind when Obama did it. Depends on who’s ox is getting gored.

They’re not there to report the news. They’re only there to shout out rude gotcha questions on a totally different subject but Han the event.

Ban the reporters. The DC press pool behaves like they are having a temper tantrum. I am weary listening to their screaming.

They reporters need to learn some decorum.

Make them read Emily Post.

Why do we need reporters there anyway? If I can hear I can figure out what is being said myself.

Jim the Accoster is the worst.

Like disruptive children, they must be disciplined.

Once the presser has been announced over for the second time, they should have the decorum to depart, without it having to escalate to the verge of pushing and shoving.

Somewhere along the line, the media folks got the idea they could treat Trump as crassly as they wanted to, with no limits.

The media folks treat PDJT disrespectfully because they do it and, until this one woman got “banned”, nothing negative happened to them.

Whenever President Trump holds one of his round table discussions, the loud clicking of the cameras almost drowns out the speakers. I wonder if all videos of these meetings will be as bad as what we hear live. Also, the media folks put their big boom mikes and even themselves in pictures. I don’t recall any of this with Obama. In fact, I think that Obama limited photographers and videographers in the White House so that only approved Pictures went out.

>> Can’t blame him for that. No more questions means no more questions.<<

If I was advising President Trump, I would strongly suggest that he have a drop-down curtain installed between the speakers podium and the press seating section. And immediately following the response to the last permitted question that curtain would be brought down and the party would be over.

Here’s The REAL Reason The White House Barred That CNN Reporter

She “refused to leave” the Oval Office.

>>Kick them off the Property and make them hang out at the Park across the street with the other street people.<<

Lafayette Park, has been a trysting place for D.C. queers for at least 70 years, so it’s and ideal place for the WH press corps to “hang out”.

They’re rude and disrespectful to Sarah Sanders.

She’s not paid to endure Acosta’s showboating shout fests or April Ryan’s insults. The two of them need to learn some manners and dismount from their high horses

<<>>

After a rude behavior by one of the press, I would like
to see Sarah have the offender physically ejected
from the room.

Repetition would tame the unruly crowd...

I’ve only been there in the daytime, driving by. Mostly before the WH perimeter was expanded [probably multiple times since Nixon].

Of late all of those similar activities are now deemed to be “good”, so it would ALL be good.

Thanks Donna.

No wonder we don’t trust a thing these folks say.

I have no problem with it. He should just say he is tired of defending their obnoxious behavior to world leaders.

I loved it when Lavrov asked that reporter “Where are your manners”

“With Freedom comes responsibility.”

You said it!!!

Do the press have to go thru any type of background check or have any type of security clearance?
