Ok I don't hate or like trump, I see him like a character, like a wwe character being something that he's not but inside he could be evil/good/etc we don't know.

But I like this, because I think that CNN is trash and this was cool.

9/10 good concept, subpar execution
Subpar insofar as he took a question from CNN later on, he could've pushed even further and announced he was going to revoke their White House press privileges

Overall, good performace from Donald Trump.

Even Fox News doesn't think this was justified.

But yeah the president granting access based on who's nicest to him is totally a good thing :-/  

The funny thing is that the dossier has been around for a long time. It was just that CNN were the first to finally bring it up. They ended up eating the sandwich.

OT he did work with Vince McMahon several times and are friends with Trump. Trump even gave Linda McMahon a post in his administration. He knows showmanship and the CNN attack was well timed and a great distraction.

Does it really matter? They all have the same questions

Actually it does. Having access means that views of their channel will see it. I don't watch Fox news. It doesn't matter to me that he gets asked the same questions. All I'll see is nothing since I don't watch Fox news.

Uuuuhhh no. No it's not.

Yeah, freedom of the press is kind of important.  Despite all that Fox News has said, Obama had never done anything like this.

The president trying to control the media is a major problem, which is why even Fox News spoke out against it.

Plus, it's an attempt to sway coverage by denying access to outlets that will report negative news.

Very bad thing. I don't where we lost that sense of perspective.

Erdogan-style - now how long will it take for Trump to start arresting journalists that write critical articles?
