So in an effort to refresh my memory and as always learn....I did check out your links - and learned that no network was ever banned from from White House briefings - and that one reporter was being investigated for leaking highly classified material about North Korea by the Justice Dept for espionage....

So no I don't believe I'm having selective memory - so I guess we will just have to agree to disagree :thumbsup

My own personal opinion is that no news organization should ever be banned or for that matter dissed...so if Obama did it (which you are suggesting) I'm equally against that as well.
There is a reason that Freedom of the Press is a fundamental part of our Constitution...if any American suggests that we should in any way go away from that, then they are no longer an American citizen in my eyes

Jesus christ dude fox news was banned from the white house!

The press has total freedom...access is not part of the constitution. The press has been calling Trump "worse than Hitler" for the last two years and nothing has happened to them. If he was Hitler, they'd be locked up.

Stop conflating freedom of the press with freedom of access, pig

You are incorrect - Fox was never banned from the White House - Stop trying to troll - it doesnt work - and if you can only use slurs to gain some sort of upper hand in your mind - the conversation will stop there - thanks :thumbsup

Nobody has been banned.
Obama excluded Fox from being involved in some things and CNN was excluded by Trump.
But none of them have ever been banned. And they all attended the actual white house press conferences

Obama however did have his people go after James Rosen and there was not a peep from Democrat politicians.

Can you imagine if Trump did that to a CNN reporter?

Exactly :thumbsup

I believe that James Rosen was named as a co-conspirator in the leak of classified material under the Espionage Act and the entire House Judiciary Committee including the democrats went after the Attorney General and telling him that basically that was the wrong approach...towards journalists that get someone to leak classified materials
Yes both sides of the aisle went ballistic on the DOJ for that

Whether Trumps recent threats to do the same thing within his administration will amount to basically the same thing - time will tell

so again I've learned something today thanks to you...

You have a mental block...it's mind control/propaganda

Most people have him blocked.

All he does is post something useless after any user makes a post and it's usually an insult to instigate more posts, which he'll reply to each I'd every one to get post count up.

These users are all exactly like him :2 cents:

John1975 / JohnnyClips / JohnnyNight /Joshua G

Yep, they tried to say that since he spoke with his source (who was the real target of the investigation)...then that made him a "co-conspirator".
It was pretty flimsy and got knocked down quick.

I think that since Pres. Obama was such a nice guy and talked in a reasonable tone of voice with a calm demeanor...that when he did things "bad", he kind of got a pass on it.

Plus most of the media are card carrying Democrats and really personally liked Pres. Obama (which isn't hard, he's very likeable and charming).

Then you have Pres. Trump.
Combative, aggressive New Yorker who doesn't talk calm and cool or like a nice guy.

So people kind of forget that Pres. Obama deported more illegal immigrants than ANY President in history...while attacking Trump for talking about deportation.

Trump is no politician and seems to be annoyed at the thought of having to be "fake" and talk a certain way to sooth the media.

Me? I like it. lol
I've always liked people who didn't bullshit around and try to make things sound "nice".

But I guess the media wants the President to follow their rules of decorum. Probably isn't gonna happen in the Trump presidency.

You make a lot of excuses for Trump, and then you deflect to Obama.

When will you hold Trump accountable for not performing, or will you give him a pass and say "Obama was much worse" and/or "Hillary would have been worse"?

I think the "he's not a politician" bit is bullshit to set the bar low for Trump.

"Well, he got us into a war but he's not a politician you can't expect him to get everything right" or "Sure he colluded with Russia and commited treason but he's not a politician he didn't know it was against the constitution" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Trump has been performing great

Doing everything he said he would

the real shocking part is, that this guy seems to make people blind.
what happens now in America after only a few weeks is so obvious but trump voters can´t or don´t want to see it.

the country is full of racism, antisemitism and hate at the political opposition. trump is asking for money to win wars and complains in the same sentence that 6 trillion dollars went already in the wars of the middle east.
the media are declared as the enemies of the country - this is ONE TO ONE what happened 1933 in germany. whatever reason someone had to vote for trump - if THAT does not make a change in his mind the brainwash worked already.
welcome to the 3rd reich. history will repeat but this time USA is on the other site of the story.

False.

Never forget what I'm about to tell you: there are 2 America's.

One part is bigger than the other. The small part is in the South where they lost the American civil war, and like guns for anyone, racism, religion, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, anti-lgbt, etc. full of anger and hate because their hateful suppressive legacy is dying.

The other part of America is much bigger, more people, diverse people, hard working, all love & fight against hate, much opportunity, smart, etc.

To keep peace in America the current cycle is to give each side power every 8 years.

When the small minded side takes power they take citizens rights from people, they suppress us, and take the countries money for big corporations that support the small minded agenda for big money.

When the big side takes power they give to all the people, help the world, and accept immigrants to our land as one of us.

Trump is so bad that the good side might get power back much sooner than 8 years.

What does "performing" have to do with what the media is exaggerating?

All I am doing is pointing out that you, the media, Hollywood, and the Democrat Party are breathlessly shouting with fake indignation about things that THEY THEMSELVES have just been doing under the Obama administration.

It's hypocrisy.

And by the way...it's impossible to "deflect" when we are discussing the press VS the whitehouse.

CNN is trying to pretend (lying/fake news) that this has never happened before...and of course it has in just about every administration.
And the WORST case was during the Obama administration when they tapped phones and emails of the AP...and then went after James Rosen of Fox News.

This was only 4 years ago. Why are you having such a hard time remembering that?

Anderson Cooper gets paid to not remember. What's your excuse?

And by the way...come out of your delusional fantasyland.
Trump hasn't gotten us into any war. (that would be Bush)
And he hasn't "colluded" with the Russians either.

WTF is wrong with you?

I'm not blind.

I just don't "blindly" listen to CNN. I use Google and find what people have said out of their own mouths. Not what some biased reporter TELLS me to think.

Your elitist attitude in your comments if very, very unappealing.
Anyone who doesn't agree with your uneducated thoughts on this subject is suddenly "blind" or "racist" or "stupid".
You don't even have a clue about what you're talking about. You are just parroting the words of opinionated and biased media.
Do yourself a favor. Think for YOURSELF. Research and learn.

:thumbsup

aha - but you listen to things like THAT ???

and that´s ok for you `????

if a president in MY COUNTRY would say something like that he would not be 1 day more in his office.

i think you guys have accepted that ALL is fake news and you do not open your mind anymore or read anything what is against your votes.

does THAT NOT REMIND YOU ON SOMETHING ? or did you never read a history book ?

really? based on what your saying about trump & the 1st amendment, you apparently have no idea what the constitution says in the 1st amendment. maybe you should review the 1st amendment. if you find any mention of the president, then come back here & school us dumb GOPs.

now dumb libs read whole new rights for CNN in the constitution...they have a "right" to talk to the white house. no they don't.
