To me, this is a major red flag. And if is normalized could be, in my opinion, potentially dangerous to the public. Anyway, here's a brief transcript from the article: 

"The White House blocked several news outlets from attending a closed-door briefing Friday afternoon with press secretary Sean Spicer, a decision that drew strong rebukes from news organizations and may only heighten tensions between the press corps and the administration. 

The New York Times and CNN, both of which have reported critically on the administration and are frequent targets of President Donald Trump, were prohibited from attending. The Huffington Post was also denied entry. 

Both the Associated Press and Time magazine, which were allowed to enter, boycotted out of solidarity with those news organizations kept out. "

Well, if he does get impeached, he'll replaced by someone who is probably very similar to him. There is no good option.

This is how dictators get started. Basically silence any one that reports news that doesn't favor you. First he calls CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, NY TImes and politico "fake news". Now he's literally cutting off freedom of the press.

But of course, you'll find some people that will still try to excuse Trump for the things he does.

Well I have faith in this guy. He hasn't been wrong in predicting Presidency's and other political things for 30 years www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/11/prediction-professor-who-called-trumps-big-win-also-made-another-forecast-trump-will-be-impeached/



The press has gone too far with their campaign against Trump. If they purposely lie to the public and disobey to journalistic standards (like the so called fact checkers that claim one-sided, unproven and ideologically colored opinions to be facts) they should be held accountable because they threaten democracy.

I am a fan of free and critical press if it stays truthful, fair and honest. But here they want to destroy him and his family with whatever it takes and this goes way too far.

The press should let him do his work and criticize the results where necessary instead of spreading pure hate. He really and honestly plans to make life better and safer for everyone and this should be honored instead of being sabotaged.

And I really cannot believe that so many people here believe the bullshit written by the media about him. If you watch his speeches or conferences and read the news afterwards you will see that they are outright lying or making things up. They not only put things out of context, they often make things up and provide extremely negative headlines about things he never said or meant this way.

Instead of attacking Trump on a personal level and writing 99,9% negative artickles about him, the media should do their job and report abput the massive immigrant riots in France https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJXvHRsjzBQ , but they want to hide the truth and bring along their own political agenda.



When I read the thread title I assumed we were talking about some little fringe extremist outlets or something. But CNN and NYT?! Major red flag, indeed. One month in and this guy's already way over the line. Shit's about to get messy.



CNN became the FOX news of the democrats but on even lower standards. They openly promote his assassination all day long and should be closed. And the other media are owned by people that wand to get rid of Trump at all cost and whatever it takes, they force their writers to wite extremely negative articles and to make up stories to take him down.

Unfortunately independent or neutral media does not exist anymore which makes it almost impossible to make an informed decision. Because Breitbart and Infowars provide a great contrast but they are not neutral either. So you have to do all the journalistic work youself because you cannot trust the media any longer.
