If youre a regular viewer of CNNs State of the Union, you may have noticed that in both episodes since inauguration, Jake Tapper has informed viewers of the following:
Follow Jake Tapper ✔ @jaketapper We asked the Trump WH to provide a guest to explain the order & clear up any confusion (even within its own govt). They declined. #CNNSOTU 9:08 AM - 29 Jan 2017 7,561 7,561 Retweets 9,709 9,709 likes Yes, for two weekends in a row no one from the Trump administration has gone on Tappers show, even though the CNN anchor is considered a fair-minded journalist by some prominent conservative voices.
But according to Politico, this may be part of a deliberate strategy to ice out CNN:
The White House has refused to send its spokespeople or surrogates onto CNN shows, effectively icing out the network from on-air administration voices.
Were sending surrogates to places where we think it makes sense to promote our agenda, said a White House official, acknowledging that CNN is not such a place, but adding that the ban is not permanent.
One CNN reporter anonymously told Politico, Theyre trying to cull CNN from the herd.
Trump administration officials appeared on other Sunday shows this week, theyve been on Fox News, and Stephen Miller was even on MSNBC with Greta Van Susteren yesterday. But per Politico:
The last time an administration official was on CNNs Sunday public affairs show State of the Union was Conway on January 8. She also appeared on CNN the following Wednesday with Anderson Cooper, the same day as then President-elect Trumps press conference where he derided CNN for publishing a report that intelligence officials had briefed both Trump and former President Barack Obama that the Russians may have negative information about Trump.
The report says the administration is still answering questions from CNN reporters (Jim Acosta asked Sean Spicer during the first official presser last week), but Spicer has continued to publicly express frustrations with the tone of CNNs coverage.

The press room in the White House should be divided with a glass wall across the middle. MSM can send reporters but they have to sit behind the glass wall and listen through speakers while Alternative Media reporters in the front get to ask the questions.
CNN/Jake Tapper never apologized for promoting Buzzfeed’s lies-filled “dossier”. Jim Acosta never apologized for his extremely rude, accusatory rant at Trump’s first presser. The “CNN seat” in the WH Briefing Room is at the left end of the first row and not seen on camera, making whoever’s sitting there easy to ignore and keeping any attention-seeking or frustration antics unseen by viewers at home. In contrast, the FOX News seat is front row center, and Spicer has taken John Roberts’ questions early on every time.
Whatsa cnn?
I come onto Freerepublic.com now and just scroll down the articles and headlines. It’s like a checklist that I can visually see how much we’re winning.
It’s great. Open up another window and scroll through it. Look at the cascade of wins !
Alinksy Rule 13:
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.
Exactly what President Trump does. He did it with John Kasich and now CNN.
But President Trump adds his own twist to Rule 13, namely he picks only a very few targets, basically just one from each category and makes an example of them, while going out of his way to praise everyone else in that category. In that fashion, everyone looks around them and goes, “Boy, I want to be on that guy’s good side, and not his bad side.”
Oh, you mean like Obama and Hillary did to Fox ???
See how that game is played?
if they go in to an interview or story with an agenda then they are NOT a news outfit.
Theyre trying to cull CNN from the herd.
CNN had the chance to be an honest, neutral, news organization. But it choose to pick a side and support those views it agreed with, and demonize those they did not agree with. A poor business decision since you automatically angered half your potential viewing audience.
CNN became just another propaganda outlet for socialist.
Donald Trump is not being fair to the Press, he is asking TOO MUCH of them: He is asking them to be fair, honest and intelligent.....(heh)...
CNN = Crap, not News ...
It’s a fake news website.
CNN is less informative than QVC.
Perfore REAL INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING on Obama's so-called "birth certificate" and report accurately on any findings of forgery, illegitimacy or fraud connected with it.
For extra credit, do real investigative reporting on Obama's sealed college and early travel records and report accurately on what you find.
After that, you may re-earn the title of "Journalist."
Perform
NE is more legit than CNN
H’mmm, Trump doing to CNN what Obama did to Fox News.....la de dah!

Someone DEFINITELY Got Fired After This CNN Broadcast Opened With 2 Minutes Of Random Sound Effects [VIDEO] http://trib.al/s9srFBu
The media has long wanted to destroy America as we know it. That is why they perfectly paired with Obama, the America-hating Muslim Commie. They shared the common goal of a weak, socialist America.
How sweet to see President Trump circumvent the media and talk to us directly. It is also great how he regularly calls them out as dishonest, since that is the truth.
Love it!
No one owes you a guest. Get bent, Snapper.
