CNN responds to being excluded from press briefing: 'This is unacceptable'

By Brooke Seipel - 02/24/17 02:47 PM EST

CNN on Friday sharply condemned the decision by the White House to block it and several other outlets from covering a question-and-answer session with White House spokesman Sean Spicer.

"This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House. Apparently this is how they retaliate when you report facts they don't like. We'll keep reporting regardless," CNN said in a statement.

CNN is the propaganda unit of the Democratic Party It is not a journalistic entity. Trump is rational to exclude it.

I agree this IS unacceptable ...........to CNN. I tear up thinking of all the outstanding journalist and the president of CNN who must be suffering to see other forms of media ahead of them in line. Put me in charge and I’ll return you to the glory days when you had no competition and your anchors cried when the president they protected was impeached. and when you went soft on Saddam because you didn’t eat him to dislike you. Someone pass a tissue.

"This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House. Apparently this is how they retaliate when you report facts they don't like. We'll keep reporting regardless," CNN said in a statement.

Dear CNN, it is time for a lesson in basic manners. You only determine what is acceptable in your house. The White House is not your house. It is the President's house and, more broadly, The People's house. The President and, more broadly, We The People determine what is acceptable in the White House.

President Trump and We The People have determined that your behavior is unacceptable. You are not welcome in the White House or in many of our houses.

So take your infantile tantrum and leave. When you learn how to control yourself and truly "report" news we may consider you worthy of treatment as a rational, responsible adult and invite you back into our "houses". Until then, shut up and grow up!

I hope they make the press draw straws next time.

Put the CNN guys in the back of the room then ignore them.
