The WH today handpicked which outlets could attend an on record briefing w/ @PressSec. Excluded CNN, NYT among others. AP & Time boycotted

First mention that AP & Time boycotted. Interesting.

A big deal: WH now picking and choosing which news outlets can attend Spicer gaggle, preventing CNN, NYT, Politico, Buzzfeed from attending

Sounds like other news media are considering boycotting as well. (Well,those that are not already deemed "unworthy"). Is this their way of backdooring in Breitbart??

If you continue to attack MSM, you are going to get them to boycott you,

WTF is happening to the USA?

The @GOP largely stands by in silence as White House threatens a free press that is a key 2 democracy. How dare u call yourselves Americans.

People seem to be really shocked by this. I've still not seen anything about Trump's weekend - if he's going to FL or not.

Destinysdaughter · 24/02/2017 19:36

So will the press ban include the BBC?

"Bad dudes", jeez, he sounds like a teenage boy!

This week, various news reports, including one from NBC News, claimed that a psychological makeup on 45 was being prepped for Vladmir Putin. According to the preliminary findings, #45 is “a risk-taker who can be naive,” according to “a senior Kremlin adviser.”
Other revelations include that 45 “doesn’t understand fully who is Mr. Putin—he is a tough guy.”

Congratulations, Donald. You're exceeding my expectations.
Not my worst fears yet, but it's getting close.

This is direct, purposeful, out in the open suppression of the free press. To ignore or accept this is to invite the death of democracy.
