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

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 lost their rights to anything when they started giving debate questions to Hillary Clinton.

If CNN is allowed in then you might as well allow The National Enquirer or even The Weekly World News.

The solution is raffle. Every week different group.

Or just put info online and let people ask questions.

The purpose of al this was free flow to cover government. If government put out info 7 days a week and let citizens question and interact, then the media would be totally obsolete, and the public would be getting info.

People with skills or extraordinary or entertaining takes, like a Mark Steyn or Thomas Sowell would still make money.

People like Mathews and some of the others would disappear.

The President can only take so many questions, so people that have demonstrated they are not capable of comprehending what is said at press conferences don’t belong there.

If Trump isn’t careful, this could start to have an effect on how they cover him.

“CNN on Friday sharply condemned the decision by the White House ...”

Well, since CNN already condemns the White House about 125 times every day, I imagine this 126th condemnation probably won’t have that much impact.

Giving debate questions to Hillary BEFORE the debates was ‘unacceptable’ too...

Maybe the Ninth Circus can rewrite the 1st amendment in one of their off the wall opinions to require the White House to entertain CNN at gaggles. Otherwise they can play with themselves in Atlanta.

and remember that gold standard cnn fake news: “Its illegal for you to read Wikileaks, only reporters like us (who filter out anything making HRC look corrupt) can read Wikileaks...”

I hope they include that line in Jeff Zucker’s eulogy.

Maybe you should call his wife a hooker, his son retarded,say he hires prostitutes to pee on his bed, and say he wants to have sex with his own daughter. Yeah. That’s the way to make friends.
