someone should give him an invite to this place so the cheerleaders could give him a direct reach around.  

Lying Trump might give momo a pardon for whatever crime made him run to Canada. 

Seems like trump milo and momo have that pedo thing in common

I have to laugh at some of you.   This wasn't the normal daily briefings or press conference with the PS.   This was a more informal where no camera's are there and usually only 1 TV and 1 print journalist are there and they share with everyone else.   Trump added a few  of which 3 are still pretty biased and liberal and you crybabies yell foul. :lol:  Lets face it "print media" is on its way out.  

" The pool usually includes a representative from one television network and one print outlet. In this case, four of the five major television networks -- NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox News -- were invited and attended the meeting"

Washington Times reporter Charlie Hurt would like to remind a media in a frenzy over Donald Trump about how Barack Obama dealt with negative press. He recalls being kicked off of Obama’s campaign plane in 2008 over something he wrote and being “routinely” kept out of White House media gaggles

:lol:  Hypocrites of the highest order.  Outrage over Trump, crickets under Obama.

 volley of White House comments describing Fox as “not a news network.”

Speaking privately at the White House on Monday with a group of mostly liberal columnists and commentators, including Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann of MSNBC and Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and Bob Herbert of The New York Times, Mr. Obama himself gave vent to sentiments about the network, according to people briefed on the conversation.

Then, in an interview with NBC News on Wednesday, the president went public. “What our advisers have simply said is that we are going to take media as it comes,” he said. “And if media is operating, basically, as a talk radio format, then that’s one thing. And if it’s operating as a news outlet, then that’s another.”

He cited a report in Politico about a strategy session in August at which officials discussed plans to move more aggressively against opponents.

The first real shot from the White House, however, came when aides excluded “Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace” — which they had previously treated as distinct from the network — from a round of presidential interviews with Sunday morning news programs in mid-September.

White House officials said comments like those had focused them on a need to make their case that Fox had an ideological bent undercutting its legitimacy as a news organization.

Fox News Channel certainly seems to be enjoying a row it considers ratings candy, having devoted hours of news coverage and commentary to the fight.

But White House officials said they were happy to have at least started a public debate about Fox.

“This is a discussion that probably had to be had about their approach to things,” Mr. Axelrod said. “Our concern is other media not follow their lead.”

You are aware he never barred specific news organizations from attending right?

Does that keep ANY news from getting out?

Is CNN the only arbitrator of news in this country?

Maby he was using ratings as a yardstick... :pc:

Really?   From the NYT's article.

In a sign of discomfort with the White House stance, Fox’s television news competitors refused to go along with a Treasury Department effort on Thursday to exclude Fox from a round of interviews with the executive-pay czar Kenneth R. Feinberg that was to be conducted with a “pool” camera crew shared by all the networks.

Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest bluntly described the White House’s position on Fox News Channel in an October 23, 2009, email to LeCompte:
 

 

“We’ve demonstrated our willingness and ability to exclude Fox News from significant interviews…”

He doesn't understand what the purpose of this press pool is.   Not everything takes place where 100 reporters can be.   They choose a few to share information with ALL OTHER organizations.   He choose 3 liberal leaning and they are having a fit.   He expanded the normal attendance from 2 to 4 and they piss and moan.   Its hilarious to see actually.
