Today, President Trump’s White House shunned CNN, NY Times, Politico, LA Times andBuzzfeed during Press Gaggle. Not missing though were Breitbart News, The Washington Times and One America News Network
CNN worded it this way:
CNN and other news outlets were blocked on Friday from attending an off-camera White House press briefing that other reporters were hand-picked to attend, raising alarm among media organizations and First Amendment watchdogs.
The decision struck veteran White House journalists as unprecedented in the modern era, and escalated tensions in the already fraught relationship between the Trump administration and the press.
I weep for the nation, not the media.
All these media houses wanted to ride Trump Wave to profitability & viewership while turning blind eye to the utter insanity of Trump Presidency. CBS President knew his priorities when he truthfully admitted that Trump was bad for country while good for his business.
Sorry, media — You cannot destroy a candidate whose biggest weakness was that SHE was ambitious, hype her ‘scandals’ and destroy her character and turn around and say sorry. Sorry, media — You cannot contribute to Trump’s ascension to power because he gave you access and then turn around and criticize him for being the same guy he has always been.
You rode on the back of the Tiger. Now that you want off, why are you surprised that it wants to take a bite off you?
I weep for the nation, not the media.
My Media Friends — When GOP repeals Obamacare benefits (it’s a question of ‘When’, not ‘IF’), i hope you are satisfied with your profits because you chose not to bring positive Obamacare stories over these last 8 years
My Media Friends — When Trump round out undocumented immigrants and make their lives miserable, i hope you take pride in your balance sheets
My Media Friends — When Trump destroys EPA, CFPB, SEC amongst others, i hope you gleam with pride about the days when Trump would answer your phone call
So, media guys — cry me a river. You built up this Frankenstein. Live with him while i join millions of fellow citizens in working to protect our republic
