An incensed President-Elect Donald Trump has asked the First Amendment gurus on his legal team if it is permissible to expel or restrict CNN and BuzzFeed News personnel from White House press corps, a transition insider told True Pundit.
At a raucous press conference Wednesday Trump warned BuzzFeed and CNN “would suffer the consequences” for publishing “fake news” about him, though he did not elaborate.

Just feed them fake news and watch them make complete fools of themselves. It’s child’s play.
Just have a section of seats with a official looking sign that reads “FN seating”,and seat the little snots in there....and of course never call on them.

Perhaps a few million calls to DC asking that McLame be dealt with appropriately would be in order, ya think?
There’s a thread today on ?April Lowry? ex-CNN that she couldn’t believe how CNN forced her to report .gov lies.
The press pool is composed of those most pliant, co-operative hos and I reckon DJT wants nothing suppressed about him since he’s an honest dealer. I don’t see why FR *couldn’t* get a credential to share among FReepers. Maybe LS can ask.
Then FR would need a FB live stream, and *voila* FRTV!
We cannot let it go at that. There needs to be real world and severe penalties for misusing the airwaves to spread propaganda with the intent to influence the electorate.
There needs to be laws with teeth in them to punish companies that allows news manipulation through censorship and false promoting of "news" stories to serve their political agendas.
The News media needs to be regulated to insure fair access to the airwaves by both conservatives and liberals.
Quote:
“Excluding certain newspaper and radio reporters is how Adolph Hitler began to change Germany’s national policies.”
Hitler “began to change Germany’s national policies” by beating people’s brains out with clubs. Dispense with the hyperbole please.
That the National Left Wing Media resembles the Third Reich’s “Völkischer Beobachter” when a Democrat is President is entirely the Media’s fault. They became state-run media voluntarily.
Trump is right to call them out and I thank God he does so.
If this is a courtesy of the White House, Trump can abolish same. Stroke of a Pen or ping of a cell phone. Either way he should ban the entire Media on Jan 20 and then start a new system and make his own invites. The Presidential Media Entourage would be made up of whomever Trumps wants. I would love to see Trump bitch slap the Media into oblivion.
Allowing proven frauds to continue sitting in on press conferences would be similar to a salesman still going to business lunches with prospects. That is, you could still point to potential upside.
Revoking certain credentials and passes would be similar to a salesman being banned by certain customers. He would be let go the next day.
“Free Republic would have to go through the White House vetting process and be certified a legitimate news organization.”
That is not defined in the constitution or anywhere legally. Legitimate means they think they can control it. They hang labels and all, but there is NO difference in reality between a blogger and CNN or Fox except size of audience.
Any other metric is bullcrap.
Honestly, I don’t think DJT would be averse to a sound-guy positioning a laptop for small outlets so they could skype the questions. Answer the tele-questions first, then go to the live reporters.
I want fines, criminal penalties, civil penalties, equal employment lawsuits against them, scrutiny and heavier regulation, and whatever further efforts are required to eradicate the entrenched left-wing bias in all the major media companies.
The media and entertainment industry has become an enemy of the nation and of the people, and they need to be beaten down and reconstructed into something fair and equitable, and of which the founders would approve.
The nation cannot survive this constant left wing pushing from "news" and "entertainment." We need to stop it, and if we have to get nasty about it, then that's what we ought to do.
Trump should bar anybody in his administration from appearing on any Q&A shows on CNN or talking to them off the record or background.
Who cares if they attend press conferences. Start hitting the talking heads over their with no administration access and they’ll start howling.
I’ve thought for some time that the next president should simply do away with the White House press room. Invite individual members of the press in on a regular basis, and hold press conferences regularly, but tell the reporters to go back to their offices and work from there. We don’t need an inbred claque sitting in the White House practicing pack “journalism.”
Was this planned for President Elect Trump’s first presser? I think so...
"Agents, Federal Marshalls, remove the representatives of this company from the White House."
See how easy it is?
He may get questions Americans care about rather than the canned gotcha variety these bozos ask.
The press is given passes to the White House at the discretion of the White House. CNN is free to watch the press conferences on CSPAN or Fox News and report it. They have no right to be present.
...
That’s my understanding, too.
At one time reporters submitted their questions in writing. Perhaps we should go back to that considering how many crooked jackasses are in the press.
FINALLY. A post-Reagan era GOP leader that will not take any crap from the dishonest media. Hope CNN management thinks long and hard about being the ONLY major cable news outlet left standing outside the door. Love it.
Why can’t the White House Press just put out a paper saying what is going to happen, etc. Put it on twitter, farce book, Instagram, Gab, other media outlets....how can they lie then if it’s gone to all these social sites...
BOOM! Yeah, baby!
