CNN responds to being excluded from press briefing: 'This is unacceptable'

By Brooke Seipel - 02/24/17 02:47 PM EST

CNN on Friday sharply condemned the decision by the White House to block it and several other outlets from covering a question-and-answer session with White House spokesman Sean Spicer.

"This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House. Apparently this is how they retaliate when you report facts they don't like. We'll keep reporting regardless," CNN said in a statement.

THAT is exactly what they all act like, including Chris Wallace getting his panties all wadded up over Trump’s media comments.
Their actions have never had consequences before. Oops.

Just what is the problem?

CNN does not need any facts in order “to report the news”.

This should make it easier, being not hindered by actual events.

In fact they should have a head start on reporting this conference, by ‘reporting’ while the others are bogged down in said conference.

Exactly! Obama slammed Fox News during his entire time in office and no one said a word. Trump slams CNN and the press corps goes nuts!

Very Fake News throws a temper tantrum. Maybe they can retreat to their Safe Spaces, put puppies, and do some coloring.

CNN doesn’t have to be there to make up fake news and lies. Should save them money.

“If Trump isn’t careful, this could start to have an effect on how they cover him.”

Yeah! They might even go negative...

Apparently this is how they retaliate when you report facts they don't like.

Those a$$ hats need to define "facts." I think it differs from my definition.

Will you tell the truth and report the facts as they are, CNN?

Did not CNN give the debate questions to Hillary? Yep. Did they ever apologize, or even admit it? NOPE. Did Sandy Crowley ever apologize to Romney for interfering in the debate and wrongly attacking him and calling him a liar? NOPE.

'This is unacceptable'

Unacceptable?

No, this is MAGNIFICENT!

Finally, the spotlight is shining brightly on the vile leftist media.

They are melting before the world's eyes.

Dear President Donald J. Trump,

I have been waiting for this for decades. Thank you, thank you, thank you, a thousand times.

Fake new for a really long time.

Iraq fake news reports/reporter.

@ 4:27 he says...:something is happening, WITH THE PROPS AND things shaking.

But, when you turn on the close captioning, the all cap words are not there.

ha ha!

I never heard of CNN Until I ran into it at the airport where it was on ALL the overhead boobtoobs
and right away it is was obviously a commie style propaganda channel....
even some places that used to have their boob toobs tuned to CNN have been turning the channel now to get away from all the customer complaints about CNN

Note to CNN - I was also excluded from the briefing. And your first amendment rights do not exceed mine. Nor to mine exceed yours. Fact is, it’s an invitation only event and you and I were not invited.

I’m not crying about it though.
