Spicer quote from December.

I think we have a respect for the press when it comes to the government, that that is something you can’t ban an entity from. You know conservative, liberal, otherwise I think that is what makes a democracy a democracy versus a dictatorship.

Really? and we're now considering Breitbart the press?
just because their bias doesn't agree with yours doesnt mean they aren't press.

Because they agree with it. The double standards right now are at an all time high.

They got their feelings hurt because they were not invited to a party. Now every retard in America thinks Trump is stomping on the 1st amendment.

Why is this word used so much. When it is widely known it is an offensive word to people with special needs and their families. Classless vocabulary.

While I agree that "press" is a generous term these days with opinion taking the place of reporting. Wholesale redefining of media outlets is an incredibly dangerous game. Especially at press conference with no C-Span broadcast.
We don't want this precedence being set. It sets the foundation for an incredibly dangerous road. We conservatives have talked about gateways drugs and slippery slopes for decades, well this slope is about as slippery as it gets. I don't want the government ever having 100% control of the narrative, and I will never trust anyone in politics enough to ever consider giving them a key that powerful.
Trump will attempt to push this even farther, and if we conservatives accepting, it will allow the freedom for our next president to do the same. Both liberal and conservative. Except they will attempt to push even farther, and we will be able to do nothing in response, because our dissent will be shouted down with cries of "hypocrites", and rightfully so.
We must encourage our victories in D.C., but we must also be quick to recognize decisions that attempt to suppress liberty and quell it swiftly and harshly.

No one's liberty is being surpressed here man. The nyt and cnn are free to say and publish whatever they want. If the government were to try and change that, I would be alarmed. But what happened today was nothing close to that. Certain media members are always left put of gaggles. The media is using fear mongering to message the liberal rubes who they write for.

I don't care if it's two 80 yr old state senators fondling each other's balls whilst discussing a state ammendment to help a city of 1,000 people ban old women from gossiping on Tuesday evening from 9-9:30 at the retirement home on the bench just outside the east exit, you know, the one next to the hummingbird feeder.
I want press there.

The difference is Brietbart doesn't pretend to be objective whereas CNN is orchestrating a fraud.

If an attempt to shut the press out is ever made I'll get upset but they aren't nor should they be above criticism. Trump has called CNN and NYT in particular out for their lack of journalistic integrity. They both deserve it, anyone that sees this as an attempt to suppress the media is just hysterical.

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

And breitbart/fox news is the epitome of journalistic integrity? What is hysterical is the hypocrisy here. The white house clearly called a gaggle then proceeded to let in the most preferential press for their meeting. If this is "no big deal" then why is the majority of journalists (including fox news) making an issue of this?
I mean regardless of party lines/bias the media seems to think this is an issue. Why is this no big deal, in your opinion? Would you be ok with a liberal president leaving out fox news or other "disparaging media" to make themselves look better?

It's like you just started paying attention.
