So is CNN now banned for his whole term?

[brettdale]

Or was it just this one press briefing?

[MADem]

1. The real press--not the "No one buys this shit" press--should just boycott him.

The pressers are available on CSPAN. Watch them there, and spend the time they'd spend sitting around thumb-twiddling getting off-the-record DIRT on this shit administration.

[Skittles]

2. they're banned until they can start kissing Trump ass

he's a delicate snowflake who cannot handle the truth

[unblock]

3. they'll be banned until they run a puff piece.

which in all likelihood, cnn will, in fact, do.

[leftynyc]

7. They seem pretty pissed to me

"This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House. Apparently this is how they retaliate when you report facts they don't like. We'll keep reporting regardless," CNN said in a statement.

[unblock]

8. sure, of course they'll say that.

they can't be seen as caving, certainly not quickly.

but cave they will, imho.

[MoonRiver]

12. I've actually started watching again, due to their honest and aggressive reporting of Rump.

They cave, and I will, once again, be a disappeared viewer.

4. Honestly, I'd like to see a boycot of the Com by ALL MEDIA outlets. The Con wouldn't be able to

use them as he has been since he announced he's running. He'd be lost without a bunch of cameras and mikes. I'm tired of listening to his BS anyway.

15. Precisely

Take away his attention.

[redstatebluegirl]

5. What if all of the media except for the far right stopped covering this guy?

What if they stopped letting his talking heads come on their shows, stopped covering his pressers, stopped following his tweets until all of them are allowed back in?

[LeftInTX]

11. Fox would be the.only TV source

[gratuitous]

6. If CNN isn't officially banned, they should quit covering this shitshow anyway

Cultivate some sources, CNN. You know, practice journalism. You should be able to find a disgruntled White House drone ready to chat any day of the week. Get 'em on the record instead of swallowing the never-ending line of anti-information bullshit coming out the White House Press Room.

9. This.

[Sherman A1]

16. Agreed

[vi5]

10. Well the good news...

..is that I'm sure this action will make news outlets even more angry at the administration and cause them to want to go after them with more ferocity and expose the ugly underpinnings of what is going on.



Just kidding. THey are going to bend over backwards to be favorable to Trump and republicans so that they gain access back.

[miyazaki]

13. You got that right. Especially the bend over part. n/t

[FreeStateDemocrat]

14. They bent over backwards with constant on-air exposure to help elect the bastard - CNN will cave for

the "public good and in being responsible journalists" none of them have any ethics when it comes to making more MONEY!!!

17. My understanding is that this was just an invite only, no video, sort of thing, and that

the WH is claiming it isn't a permanent block. I didn't save the link where I read that though, so I can't point you to the article.

18. "When asked if Trump has business connections to Putin, Trump declined to answer."

19. "When asked if Trump is being blackmailed by Putin, Trump refused to answer."
