    Anyone else remember way back in December when Sean Spicer insisted that open access for the media is "what makes a democracy a democracy versus a dictatorship"?

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/02/24/in-december-spicer-said-barring-media-access-is-what-a-dictatorship-does-today-he-barred-media-access/?utm_term=.54fc9b40a0e7

    Enough.  Rx is for strong drink and forgetting.
    It's a 302 thing . . .

    If CNN decides to become a news organization again, they should be allowed back in.


    So . . . it's a good thing that our President gets to decide which organization is a "news organization"?

    Good to know.

    News organizations can be as hard as they want on Trump.  When they start making stuff up, . . .

    Examples, please?


    If you want proof of their unethical behavior (beyond sharing debate questions with Hillary), just google "list of CNN lies".  

    For me, this returned 8,570,000 results.


    Brilliant, Blasting.  Overwhelmed by your proof, I'm convinced.

    well, if you banned anyone that made stuff up from press conferences, wouldn't that mean there would be nobody talking to press?  I'm not sure there has been a WH press secretary that never massaged their reporting.

    so, isn't this about not liking the fake news you report vs reporting the fake news I tell you?  you can't tell me there is one side that's clean here.
    IF you're choosing the false-equivalency prism through which to view this, you're already done.  
    IF so, you're already in the bag - in the to be field-dressed..



    false-equ...my head hurts.  my take, none of these folks pointing fingers at each other are clean.  cleaner?  maybe, but it's a mud-slinging contest and the strong side-taking here is losing it's humor.  you lied!  no, you lied!  if news organizations aren't looking at their reporting and making sure they have a clear line between reporting and coloring, then they should.  that's the position they take, so they need to self police and hold themselves to a standard, not get into a pissing contest w/an administration.  the trump side, well, yeah, they need to self examine as well.

    I love it. I hope he starts blocking all of the left wing libturds that make up and report fake news. It's good to see someone finally stand up to the nut job libturds on the left. Get'em Trump!!!!!!!! Hey here is an idea, maybe build a wall around CNN and deport its libturds supporters. That would be a fitting and proper end to those lying libturds.  
    's always nice to get input from
    A good, God fearing, Christian southerner. 
    Well, then . . . who needs even-keeled, bias-free considered thought when you're got that ?!


    The NY TIMES & CNN  are "bias-free  considered thought"?????

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
    Okay, Fred.  If I can't decide, who is qualified or justified to decide?
    You?
    Our President?

    Who gets to decide, Fred?
    Who?

    I think the American people decided who they listen to during the last election cycle.  In case you weren't paying attention, the NY Times and CNN failed to convince folks to vote for that pantsuited crook.

    There's no need to carry on here as I'm not going to be able to agree with your point of view that fake news is legit.  Just the same as you will not be able to agree with my point of view.

    I tell my daughter that if she finds herself arguing with someone who won't cede the basic facts she shouldn't waste her time.  I suppose I should take my own advice.

    If you're unwilling to acknowledge the unethical way CNN has conducted themselves - where does the conversation go?  They gave debate questions out to try and influence the election.  Nuff said, and there are a plethora of other examples.  If you refuse to acknowledge CNN's shadiness during this election cycle, your subsequent points become highly suspect.

    Fox news never reported any fake news the last twenty years did they?  No one with a skin had to ban them did They?

    Media Matters reporting on Breitbart (or vise versa) is interesting.

    I am glad we are a democratic republic where the dumbmasses do not get to decide who runs our country ! Let's see CNN leaked debate questions to HRC and that was okay ? CNN,MSNBC,NBC,ABC are all farcical in what they choose to report. Brian Williams "misremembering" of facts, all of us with common sense (Trump supporters), call it lieing!

    With 69% of his statements rated as "Mostly False" or worse, maybe President Trump's pre-emptive war on the media is understandable.

    Sixty nine percent ain't nothing.

    I think the Obama admin banned Fox at one point, and journalists  from the other (ahem, libtard!) outlets flipped out until they let them back in.

    We'll see how it goes this time.

    Much of this is just throwing smoke.  The Trump admin knows they need a foil, what with the giant nothingburger they've gotten accomplished so far.  Press is all too willing to play along.

    One day if I am lucky, I will be a member of a political forum and choose to dominate those those guys in bbq/food topics,, but I will only do it on a Friday. That way I have the liquid courage to do such a deed.

    Exactly, Trumpty Dumpty is just playing to his base. He knows they just love it when he talks about the "fake news media" all while his base is reading InfoWars. :)
