Thank you very much and God bless you.

Trump has given more interviews than this "pope" has ever given.

Trump's administration is more friendly to media outlets than the Vatican.

And the Associated Press bigots are treating Bob's comments as "Breaking News".

Garbage media.

The article is bull.

The Pope did NOT “affirm the need for media”

The Pope did NOT “comment on Trump’s actions with the media”

this is completely made up by the press to get views.

Guys - read the article, the Pope did not say what the journalist is saying.

When Leo was elected POPE, he thought they said left-wing DOPE.

Yeah, real ‘tard.

He clearly banned them ‘cause all they do is lie.

OK, let them back in. But, prevent them speaking to anyone in the hallways and do not call on them in any briefing.
“Uhh, no, I see your raised hand and will not call on you ‘cause your organization is a pack of liars. Next?”
