New Sheriff: Trump Inquires About Revoking, Suspending CNN’s White House Access; BuzzFeed Too
TruePundit ^ | Jan 11, 2017 | Admin

Posted on 01/11/2017 12:34:37 PM PST by HarleyLady27

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.

“CNN was the First 24/7 News Channel and now a Joke “

I’d rather watch TNN reruns!

What would happen if I went down there and claimed to be a reporter for Free Republic?

If you can show some credentials proving you are they would let you in. Probably give you CNN's front row seat.

My dad who reached the age of 100 and then died 13 days later always had CNN on.

I had to take breaks and get away whenever I visited him. I couldn’t stand it.

I want McCain censured in the Senate!!

I'd go a little further. Demand McConnell remove him from ALL committee assignments. The AZ Republican Party should also censure him and demand he resign.

The rest of us should mock and ridicule the POS every single day for the rest of his political life.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the President has to speak to the press at all.

It's right next to the word "Privacy". One paragraph down from the word "Musket".

You need to be a liberal to actually see those words. It's like dogs and dog whistles.

Yes. I was thinking the same thing.
Across the board, in a TRUMP administration, departments should set their azzes on the curb, on probation.

The media has broken our country. They have broken trust with the American people.

Black Ball those who are nothing if not Smear Merchants abusing their privilege, but claiming to be “reporters”, simply inquiring seekers of facts, context and truth.

They openly insult, slander and demoralize their target (WHO ARE ALWAYS ONLY REPUBLICANS) and then dare to call these nasty remarks “objective questioning”.

We do not get the same type of questions, if we are REPUBLICANS.

We never get a serious question that isn’t framed in hatred.

We get no passes, no puff pieces, no tolerance for our political philosophy, which is treatment reserved for only Leftists.

Why are any non-government entities given office or other space in the White House?

Minimize the numbers of all categories. Too many undersecretary of useless BS have offices .

Not true. The White House Press Association determines who gets credentials and who do not. Now, I don’t know if it has to be this way, but that is the way it has been handled for decades.
