So the press censorship under the Trump administration begins?

[kentonio]

Not banned for tough questions. Banned for stupid questions. Not censorship.

**** me you really are a total fascist **** aren't you? Don't you ****ing dare ever claim to be a supporter of the constitution again, you authoritarian lapdog little *****. You don't get to decide which questions are 'stupid' or not you ****ing sheep. How dare you try and silence the free press just because you're so busy sucking Trump's micro dick that you've lost grip of reality. Go **** yourself you pathetic little cult member.

They can email their stupid questions then report that they got ignored. It's the same as being ignored in person.

Well Woodward got an anonymous tip from Deep Troat.

Yup, and trumpie want to make such illegal - can't have journalists revealing criminal acts based on anonymous people - We need to know which criminals that reveals that we are criminals

I don't think it's technically censorship to just disinvite people they don't like from a press conference. Probably somebody's said that already, but there's a lot of arguing with Kid in this thread. As it happens, Lent starts tomorrow, so peace out. Try not to give yourselves embolisms over Trump before I get back here. He's not worth it.

I definitely won't do it ... I had an embolism ~11 years ago ... not necessary an experience I want to have a second time

Ah yes, Ari Fleischer, one of the guys who leaked Valerie Plume's name to the press, and the mouthpiece for an administration that lied America into a pointless war with a death toll in the hundreds of thousands. What's next genius, are you going to find a quote by Henry Kissinger to back up your bull****?

He ended up a prosecution witness in the Libby trial, so yes he was a relevant figure in the incident.

. What none of the journalists told readers, because they had promised the White House that they would not, was that their attempts to portray the president’s intentions had followed a lengthy and secret meeting with Mr. Obama the day he delivered the speech. .
