Backlash after Donald Trump ditches his press pool
CNN ^ | November 16, 2016 | Brian Stelter

For the second time in a week, president-elect Donald Trump has abandoned precedent and traveled without the "press pool," a small group of journalists assigned to cover his movements. The move Tuesday night has spurred a strong backlash.

Ah, too bad so sad!

Keep them (crazy left wing nut lying media) in the dark and feed only trusted media information.

Start by testing them. Give correct info, and if they spin it’s into the bin!

So this has become their news? They’re trying to create news. This is a big nothing.

It may be “unacceptable” the media, but that’s tough luck for them. Nobody cares what they think. Nobody trusts the media. And nobody cares who they support (57 out of 59 news papers supported Clinton).

The media has lost all credibility.

Maybe he didn’t want your paid thugs to destroy the restaurant?

Makes you wonder where the press was the night Benghazi occurred? Did he “ditch them.”

BTW, if Trump wants to ditch the press again and come out to WV for BBQ away from the lunatics in DC, he’s welcome.

Trumps default answer from now on should be, “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won” Get over it.

“for the benefit of informing the public and for historical record”

Like the evening of the Benghazi attack perhaps? /s

When the Media actually begins to practice genuine, ethical journalism we will begin to give a flying flip about what they “report.”

The press wants desperately to get the one in a million photo of Trump with food on his face before the polite napkin wipe.
Even the President “I do not like” has a right to time alone or with family and friends without the press herding around. Off the clock time should for a President should be expected and respected.

“The move Tuesday night has spurred a strong backlash”

Backlash, outrage. Outrage, and backlash.

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Who the hell cares about him eating dinner!?!?!?

Can’t a mofo eat some ribs without the press all up in his face?

I’ve eaten at “21” when I worked in Midtown, in the 80s. If I was the mgr, I wouldn’t let in the press, for any reason. They all want free meals and to disrupt other diners.

One can’t help but suspect that President Elect Trump is going to want members of that press pool to not be people who are hostile to his presidency. I’d like it if he had has own private historian along whenever the press is present, to record the truth.

Where in the Constitution do we find the section saying NBC/CNN/ABC/CBS/ get access to the President 24/7 ??

He might set up an inner circle of favored press and give them access on secret family getaways, such as this one.

Brian Stelter of CNN's Reliable Sources show has retweeted over and over how this cannot be let to stand and Frank Luntz just replied to him something like "Do you honestly think anyone outside of the MSM cares that Trump went to dinner without a press pool?"

these guys are in panic mode.

Try to catch a snippet of conversation to distort or snap an unflattering picture to put on the wires.
