1. Controlling the press. Call these jackasses out

The Free press is A Constitutional right

[guillaumeb]

2. Perhaps Trump should start his own paper.

Let Steve Bannon run it.

My suggested title:

Der Stürmer

Their motto: Die Liberalen sind unser Unglück

[leftstreet]

3. Good. I'd rather the media report, instead of fawning

The media talking heads think they're part of the wealthy elite, always fawning and falling all over their 'guests.'

FFS investigate and report the fucking news!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

4. Keep the ban! I'll watch CNN more often!

CNN should welcome it!

[Longtime lurker 99]

5. Actually more networks should freeze out trump's spokemen

All they do is lie to them.

And didn't the Obama administration get crucified by the media when they tried this with Foxnews. Where is the rest of the media now?

[JDC]

6. Coincidentally CNN refused the cozy-up

Situation during the campaign season that Kushner arranged w/ other "news" channels and then gloated about late last year. Access in exchange for positive stories. In other words faking the news. Now they are publicly accused of the very thing asked for by trump's band of pirates. They need to report that.

7. Works for me - who needs to listen to their bullshit.

Now investigate the crap out of these liars.

8. First Amendment. ETA, I know there was no law passed, just adding this in because it is press

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

16. What law?

Not appearing on a teevee show =/= violation of a law.

[uppityperson]

18. I know, was just adding that into the mix.

[truebluegreen]

20. OK. nt

[uppityperson]

21. I was thinking faster than typing, sorry for being unclear. The op just got me thinking more about

restricting the press. I tried to edit but not sure if its any clearer. And FDT.

[truebluegreen]

22. I hear you and concur:

FDT!

[hurple]

17. they didn't

make a law. Just kicked them out of the press room.

So what. If I was CNN, I'd move forward by *earning* that banishment

[uppityperson]

19. I know, was just adding that into the mix.

[onecaliberal]

9. Can't tell by how much they still lick his ass

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

11. There are a couple of hosts who can be annoying, but most are actually really good

Just don't watch Wolf Blitzer and John King.

Watch Chris Cuomo first thing in the morning and pretty much everything else other than the two mentioned.

[Dawson Leery]

10. So that is why John King was licking Himmler's ass

over the USSC nomination.

[Initech]

12. RIP Freedom of the Press. 1791 - 2017. You will be missed.

[tanyev]

13. Oh, good. MWNN.

Most Watchable News Network.

[truebluegreen]

14. Good.

Maybe CNN will start practicing actual journalism...which involves ferreting out stuff that people don't want printed.

[hurple]

15. So, then, CNN

Should earn their banishment by ripping this administration apart. They don't need to sit at the table to get the news, they can dig and get the juicy stuff.

That's what I would do in their circumstances.

[Cha]

23. KICK

[Ilsa]

24. I'm fine with it. WH officials lie anyway.

Get the truth from other sources.

[Vinca]

25. What a relief. My finger was tired flipping the channel every time Kellyanne appeared.

[HAB911]

26. Tell CNN what your really think
