Good thing he didn't ban the press.

No I've been paying attention. Trump was supposed to be the guy to "flip the script" on washington. Instead, he has acted just like every other president before him. No better than obama. Suppresing media to get his own narrative better received. Truly sad.

and we're now considering Breitbart the press


Where has Breitbart lied about anything? Have they been caught in a lie? I don't know. Can you tell me?

And yet no media was suppressed.

They are free to write what they choose.

None of their rights were infringed on by not inviting them to it.

I guess CNN considers itself the "super-press" and somehow entitled to additional access.

Obviously that statement was intentionally exclusive of deliberate liars.

Press was in the gaggle. Which of those outlets did you not trust to share their information with the press at large?

So breitbart is an admitted fraud and cnn is a hidden fraud? That somehow grants them a better/preferential status?


Breitbart is not a news outlet. They do not report "the news" but rather they provide political commentary from a consistent conservative vantage. Their is no presumption of "unbiasness" unlike CNN.

Breitbart, unlike CNN, has never hidden their leanings, hence no fraud.

But he didn't ban anyone, or even uninvited them. They weren't added to a list of press outlets that weren't on in the first place.

Your post is fake news.

Do you mean someone high up in this White House administration is actually saying one thing and doing another? Shocked .

When CNN was caught in WikiLeaks cheating for candidates and openely discussing giving out debate questions and allowing candidates to basically write their own articles then I can no longer consider them press.

Great. See? This proves that Spicer (and Trump) respect free press.

Is this supposed to be some sort of "gotcha"?

The marching orders went out and it is funny to watch. You'd swear Trump made an executive order to shut down news stations today. LOL
