    My opinion on Obama was negative the 8 years he was in office. Nothing's changed.

    If they were smart they would all just quit covering his sorry ass. That egomaniac would be begging for them before too long.

    I agree with everyone in this thread. Unless Terry posted something I missed.

    It's not about who Trump likes. Good Lord. It's about media who isn't honest, legit, or non-partisan. CNN? Again, talk to me when they can account for Donna Brazile's bullshit.

    Where in the Constitution is a "free press" guaranteed any rights or where the President is required to guarantee access?

    “Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties,” said New York Times editor Dean Baquet.

    he's trying to manipulate/control the press coverage, it's wrong,.. and it's about who Trump doesn't like

    This should go in the Trump's thin skin department. Dude is a stain on this country's history. One of many I might add. These reporters should wear that shit like a badge of honor.

    Look, I don't want them (any president and the press) to like each other. It needs to be an adversarial relationship with constitutional protections. I don't care if MSNBC and CNN took turns sucking Obama's dick. Doesn't mean I want Trump by getting his sucked by Fox to 'even the score'. That way we'll end up getting ass raped by both of them.

    And while we're on this subject, Trump and his people need to stop whining about the media. Trump is turning into a pussy on this subject. Grow a pair, shut up, and do the job you asked for and were given.

    That statement is misleading. You could definitely work for cnn. He's not prohibiting freedom of the press, just some of them. Just like freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to yell fire in a church assembly, freedom of the press doesn't mean you have to let them in your house.

    Even still, if someone uses their "Freedon of speech" to slander someone, it doesn't mean you have to allow it.

    Sure it is. At least it was when we were only hearing it when osama was in the wh.


    nigga, please. America needs journalist to accurately report what's happening. With liberal media it's clear we're not.
