    ....and the fact that CNN reports news that makes you and your boy cry is quiet refreshing and this from a pro American.

    Since they are denied ACCESS, they are unable to give their firsthand perspective. . . . Just another example of Trump's "my way or the highway" attitude. He wants to be in complete control of his image.

    Does Trump have any obligation (legal or moral) to talk to people from CNN?

    If I was a major news network who promised to give glowing reviews, I'm sure I would be welcome. Trump wants to CONTROL the media, like everything else.

    No. CNN is not really a news organization except in the most technical sense. It is, in reality, the media arm of the DNC. Acknowledging this fact is just being intellectually honest.

    If Trump were to find the cure for cancer, CNN would bury the story below something about Ivanka's clothing line, and not even report on it the following day.

    They robotically fight Trump every day in a way that they would NEVER have done with Hillary Clinton. It is the only thing they exist for - to fight against Trump. But then, that is the role of the media arm of the Democratic Party, isn't it?

    Trump can bend over or he can fight back. I respect him for fighting back.

    So what you're saying is is that you're unable to answer my question?

    CNN is a fringe operation to begin with. I have long blamed Shepard Smith at FOX for being a Democrat/supporter. He is flat out angry that CNN was not in that room with Spicer.

    CNN and the NY Times has earned being demeaned. AP was eligible and in a snit refused to show up. FOX was there.

    Regarding matters that are not classified, he is not expected to selectively withhold information.

    Trump appears to have a very fragile ego. Not good for a politician. Some media outlets are critical of him and he doesn't like it. So he keeps them away to protect his self-esteem.

    No, what I am saying is that your question is an irrelevant attempt to derail the argument. Obviously, 300 million can't be invited to a press conference.

    So are those 300 million being censored in anyway and being told that they're not allowed to discuss certain things?

    Shepard Smith is one of Fox's more liberal reporters, which is fine with me because it adds credibility to the network.

    Obama never banned large Conservative media companies from WH press conferences.

    Trump has gone too far and I fear this is just the beginning.

    No, he is fighting against an organization that is inexorably against him no matter what he does. He isn't Hillary Clinton, so they are against him, no matter what.

    All of their so-called "reporting" on Trump is negative.

    "The White House press pool usually includes representatives from one television outlet, one radio outlet and one print outlet, as well as reporters from a few wire services. In this case, four of the five major television networks -- NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox News -- were invited"

    That means you can get your news elsewhere until CNN, he New York Times, and perhaps a few others, get their professional acts together. The media is largely despised and distrusted and rightly so. This can only come as a much needed wake-up call to offer a more 'fair and balanced' approach. Your 'fear' is unjustified.

    Which is only true if you define truth and lies the DemSpeak way, it is true if it appears in any of the official leftist sources like the Times of CNN and a damned lie if found anywhere else, even if true.

    No, they colluded to screw him with other media outlets, the DNC and the Clinton campaign. He doesn't hate the media...he hates the ones who were caught. He's now punishing them for their dishonesty.
