Then there's the time Obama met with columnists "all on the left", but Politico still wouldn't say what was discussed

Why should Trump let in liars to his press briefings?
Of course, NPR found "nothing nefarious" in any of this.

And when selling his Syria strategy
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/18/new-york-times-obama-syria_n_3949419.htmlI guess the right wing media are the only ones qualified to interpret what Trump and team meant instead of going by what they actually say.
How can anyone who ever said anything derogatory about safe spaces still supported this clown?

Looks like it was all FAKE NEWS.
White House Deputy Comms. Dir. Raj Shah denies reports of a gaggle block against CNN, NYT, Politico and others:
Nothing of the sort. The pool was invited and everyone was invited. In addition to the pool we decided to add a couple of other reporters.
Of course, defining who counts in the "pool" is always a tug-o-war (Obama made a trial-balloon effort to exclude Fox, but ended up failing).
What happened seems to be this
Spicer required that journalists sign up for an “expanded pool gaggle†on Friday, retaining the right to exclude reporters. He had already berated a smaller pool gathering in the morning, the New York Times’ Glenn Thrush reported.
Some individual reporters were excluded, but no outlets totally. But some others whined and "boycotted" over this. Big whoop.
The Associated Press and Time boycotted the afternoon gaggle as a result, and the White House Correspondents Association is protesting, according to CNN’s Jim Sciutto.
A press “gaggle†is an off-camera meeting, in this case in Spicer’s office, rather than the daily on-camera briefing that takes place in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.
The daily “in-house†pool contains 21 reporters who cover White House events when there is not enough room for the full press cadre. There is also a smaller pool of reporters that travels with the president. However, several of the excluded organizations are normally in one or both of those pools.
Grisham told the WHCA that “claims that outlets were excluded are not factual.â€
“The pool was there, so various media mediums were represented,†she said.
Looks like it was all FAKE NEWS.
Not to mention that is was Sean Spicer (not Donald Trump) who did this in the first place.
Liberal heads are exploding over their hypocrisy. Hilarious!

Seriously? Trump is holding the press accountable. Those media outlets were colluding with the Democrats and even help Hillary cheat during the debates. The NYP admitted in their own newspaper that they were unfair with Trump and even promised that going forward they would be more honest. "More honest" was their words. Why not all-the-way honest? Trump has every right to revoke their White House press credentials. He merely banned them from of-the-record breifings.
Maybe if they stop acting like the propaganda are of the Democratic Party and start acting like journalists again they're get to sit at the grownups table.
Mmmm. How do those boots taste?
The current line of argument from Trumpers is pretty amazing.
1. Obama was the worst president ever. This country is in shambles. Trump must undo everything Obama did because there has never been such a terrible president.
2. Trump does something and gets lots of flak like banning news outlets from a press conference.
3. Trumpers respond by pointing to what they believe was analogous conduct by Obama.
Ok. You cannot have it both ways. I get that pointing to supposedly similar conduct by Obama raises hypocrisy. But that is kind of like having ISIS responding to criticism about beheadings by pointing out that Mexican drug cartels also beheading people. If your best justification for your conduct is to point to the administration that you claim ruined the country, your conduct isn't so hot.

Isn't calling others out about lying and then blatantly lying the biggest hypocrisy?
Two things:
1) CNN got their feelings hurt today.
2) America doesn't care about CNN's feelings.

This is the kind of tinker-toy "gotcha" reasoning that passes as liberal "thinking" these days. Just because the Obama admin was the worst in history, doesn't mean that Trump has to "undo everything" by changing-up things just to be different from Obama. It's like arguing that Germans shouldn't use rail systems because Hitler built them.
Very true.
The tribal fanboys who cannot accept critical comments assume
1 everyone who is critical has orgasms thinking about Obama. Many people are critical of Trump policies also are critical of Some of obzmas policies. It is not all tribal.
2. I thought people who voted for trump wanted change and not repeat what Obama did. But their go to for any critical comments is obama or Hilary did this.
How about we stop calling CNN the media and start calling them the propaganda arm of the DNC? They lost their media card long ago.
MAGA!!!
And then there was that time that Obama kicked out conservative reporters....

Hush hush. We don't want anyone to remember that inconvenient news. It might make the liberals look like hypocrites.
