    But more importantly, will the whitehouse be building up our military for a war with isis in the Middle East? How are we going to pay for that? Will the drug war continue with renewed vigor? Why are we still paying for that?

    "CNN, New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Politico shut out of White House gaggle with Sean Spicer today."

    "Among the outlets not permitted to cover the gaggle were various news organizations that Trump has singled out in the past including CNN, The NYT, The Hill, Politico, BuzzFeed, the Daily Mail, BBC, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News."

    "Several non mainstream outlets were allowed into Spicer’s office, including Breitbart, the Washington Times and One America News Network. Several other major news organizations were also let in to cover the gaggle. That group included ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Reuters and Bloomberg, however AP and Time have boycotted the event."

    The agenda doesn't include issues of substance..

    Those must be dealt with behind closed doors.


    But I'm tickled to see CNN shut out...

    I'm sure Breitbart and OAN will stay on top of it and ask questions about the things that really matter.

    Are you saying he might be cozy with those MSM people despite the narrative that he is not? When I watched the trump press conference last week I got that feeling that it was entertainment, and it was, but he kept going back to the hostile reporter from CNN who seemed to keep setting trump up for an entertaining show down. Makes you think....

    Trump has historically had a mutually beneficial relationship with the media execs.

    That all changed the day he announced he was running for president. More specifically, the day he laid out his foreign policy platform.

    You guys are on crack if you believe that Trump is cozy with CNN. CNN - a deep state propaganda outlet - intends to destroy him, because as Kucinich puts it:

    "Whether you're for Trump or against Trump, the White House is under attack from elements inside the intelligence community which are trying to elevate tensions between Russia and the United States, and at the bottom of that is money, an agenda, for somebody to cash in on conflict between the US and Russia at any level"

    If that were true, they wouldn't have let him phone in and give extended interviews where he talks about other networks:

    This is what it looks like when the press wants a candidate out of the race:

    I know what happens when the press does not want your message to be heard, blackout.

    There is the distinct possibility that this is political "professional wrestling".

    On the other hand, the press has the "right" to print just about anything it wants, but it does not have the "right" to be invited into every meeting, conference, party or dinner.

    Either Donald or the press plays the heel, depending on the POV. Both sides win, as long as the fanbase is divided.

It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    CNN was just confused. It was a PRESS briefing. Not a Democratic public relations meeting.
