Ok. I'll get back with you on that when the task is completed. You might want to grab a beer and kick your feet up.

Man, you people are really drinking that righwing Kool-Aid. If you want to see a bunch of shills, see Fox (Faux) News. That's nothing but the Republican News Network, and has been for years.Posted on 2/24/17 at 1:28 pm to Navytiger74
Sounds like a good Friday for the Spice.
Were all the liberal outlets kicked in the nuts today?

Sounds good to me. They want to attack a president, then they shouldn't have the ability to be there. It's pathetic that the media is so against the man who is the leader of our country. Traitor like mentalities that is actually put on tv.
Do you really want a press corp that only prints positive articles about the President?
Why not just get rid of the 1st amendment and set up state run media. Works for North Korea.
Strawman argument.
No one is saying those outlets can't print or say whatever they want. Their freedom of the press and speech isn't abridged at all. Nowhere in the 1st Amendment though does it imply that the President has to give X amount of access to Y media outlets, not even close. Every President has given more or less access to different outlets for a variety of reasons, in fact some have actually stopped the media entirely from what they were printing (looking at you Honest Abe who even threw reporters in prison and destroyed printing presses for daring to oppose him).
Sorry that the NY Times got their feelings hurt that Trump doesn't GAF about them and doesn't feel the need to give them elite level access.

Breitbart is a more accurate and honest news outlet than the three that were banned.
No they aren't. Breitbart is sensationalist, clickbait, pseudo journalism.
CNN, Politico, and NYT are pretty fricking bad at the moment, but Breitbart is the crown jewel of partisan journalism and fake, sensational news.
You just mean that your biases more closely align with theirs.

CNN has said they MAY not be going to the WH correspondents dinner. Good no one cares.
Before any one has a prog hissy fit...this is an OFF CAMERA GAGGLE. Not the normal press briefing.
Obama had these same gaggles with the media matters type of media he chose. They were mostly off record IIRC.
The 'White House Correspondents’ Association didn't say a word when Obama did this...

The White House blocked a number of news outlets from covering spokesman Sean Spicer’s question-and-answer session on Friday afternoon.
Spicer decided to hold an off-camera “gaggle” with reporters inside his West Wing office instead of the traditional on-camera briefing in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.
Among the outlets not permitted to cover the gaggle were news organizations that President Trump has singled out for criticism, including CNN.
The New York Times, The Hill, Politico, BuzzFeed, the Daily Mail, BBC, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News were among the other news organizations not permitted to attend.
Several right-leaning outlets were allowed into Spicer’s office, including Breitbart, the Washington Times and One America News Network.
A number of major news organizations were also let in to cover the gaggle. That group included ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Reuters and Bloomberg.
The White House Correspondents’ Association sharply criticized the decision.

There's a lot of people here so it's hard to keep track.
Please link to my praising of Fox News or kindly buy a slurpee and dump it on your lap.
I've long said I don't really watch Fox News and I think it's a political opinion station that serves as the counter to the endless biased liberal outlets. I enjoy some of the Fox News entertainers. I don't enjoy any of the entertainers on CNN. They aren't even good to look at.
Can you admit the same for CNN?

Why would you let a tabloid like CNN in?

It's funny that anyone thinks this is even a good fight to fight.
Does the admin really have a need to get its message out to the people who consume Breitbart, OAN, and WT? CNN et al have every incentive imaginable to dig in. Outlets make a lot more money in adversarial relationships with the government.
