People think the media war is all fun and games but he is playing with serious fire by making them an enemy of the people and then locking them out.

Luckily we live in such an advanced communications age where people can still get information anyway but what he is doing with the media is extremely troubling.

oh dont get me wrong, i am with you when it comes to ridiculous drug offense imprisonments to get new meat into private prisons
a great many of these people are consumers and victims themselves that need help instead of prison

however i dont see how this is connected to trump, while his predecessors didnt bother and mighty obama signed an order to "reduce" private prisons
how cute

on the concept of private prisons in general, i am not so sure what to think about it

following me around again to make some stupid comment?

Oh, to be sure, this didn't start with Trump. I take issue with how every President since Nixon has prosecuted this shit show of a "war". But Trump's the current guy in charge, and he's perpetuating the problem.

This is an explicit breaking of the First Amendment.

This alone should result in impeachment and if not then a coup.

it's like 3 pm eastern, a little early to be already crawling out of the bottle. Don't be like Don Lemon.
Is there a part of the first amendment that says "the White House must invite (C)NN to every event for all the times"???? (C)NN can just run another 'anonymous sources with familiarity of the situation say this happened' story like their little dossier blunder.

ABC CBS NBC Bloomberg Reuters McClatchy all went. Time and AP 'boycotted' the meeting.

(C)NN's response was something along the lines of: 'he didn't dump me i dumped him!!!!!!!!!!!"

besides which, President Obama tried this with Faux and lots of liberals laughed.

don't mind him, he's just a german trump shill who lacks both the insight and the intelligence to realise that america was on its way to phase out the use of private prisons and smarten up in their war on drugs, and that trump's policy for his DONORS directly impacts and reverses that development...

Does being this much of a complete douchebag come naturally to you, or did you have to cultivate it over the course of years?

The administration can choose who it gives WH press credentials to, so I'm sure they have the authority during a gaggle to only include the reporters they want there.

Still, a troubling move forward.
