I'm not as familiar with nyt, but cnn and the WaPost have crossed the line, they aren't just partisan they are in attack mode all the time and have been for most of the last year. cnn "news" shows and wapo editorial have been 85%+ anti-Trump stories for at least a year. It gets them ratings but does nothing for the cause of journalism. I'd still tend to say let them in but I'm not sure how you get a "credential". Or cut back on access for everyone, there is probably too much at the moment anyway. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

It's a free press, but it ain't free access. I'd let one of them in, but I'd rotate. |

As Kasich said a little while ago, "When you're flying in an airplane, you don't root for the pilot to fail." Unless, of course, the pilot is a liberal activist organizer with no experience.

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

He blocked CNN, BBC, New York Times, LA Times, New York Daily News, BuzzFeed, The Hill, and the Daily Mail. F*cking hell, if the Daily Mail is classed as left-wing we're in deep sh!t. It strikes me that you guys need to stop making excuses for this asshole. If Trump can't take criticism, he should have got himself a different job. |

From what I gather, it's not quite as advertised. According to the White House, they were not blocked from the briefing room, but from the press "gaggle." Trump is not the first president to have meetings with the press which he deems is friendly. Nor is he the second. |

And if he wants to do something about the criticism he got himself exactly the right job. |

Apparently, the so-called "gaggle" is for *all* the press (by tradition), but has no cameras. |
