Trump bars CNN and other MSM from WH Press Briefing

The New York Times, Politico, CNN, the Guardian, BuzzFeed, and others found themselves locked out of a press briefing at the White House. The pro-Trump media publications, such as Breitbart News, the One America News Network, and the Washington Times, were all  granted admission, as well as TV networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox News.

Claiming that the American people, including Trump, has been held hostage by the main stream media, the White House has indirectly shut the door in their faces. Granted, that there are numerous pictures being painted about this government and its leader by different media outlets (rightfully so), the assumption is that it has begun to get out of hand.

The attempt at closing the communication will most likely lead to further misalignment and disagreements as the white house press secretary cannot directly answer questions that are being asked. What is their goal, to disassociate further from the people? Lets put this in a playground environment, I'm sure the analogy applies. If one popular grade 5 kid excommunicates a group of friends, those friends will make up their own story as to why they didn't want to be friends with the popular kid in the first place. Subsequently, creating their own narrative on why they are the coolest and befriending any malcontent of the popular kid.

As much as we want to believe that CNN "loathes" Trump, he's their cash cow for ratings! I think its evident that anything new you say about trump will get attention, just what the media sells its body for.

It needs to be stated that media should not be censored at any level. It makes for a bad prescient. If people want to read the news from a particular angle, its up to the individual to find that publication. Typically, when there wasn't enough readers, that printing press would shut down. Now, we have the news shared online, even if you are against it you can go and quickly peruse the article, showing a hit on that site. With enough haters reading, it would seem like they actually have an audience (which they would). Its difficult to distinguish what news is praise worthy and what is utter bullshit when we only look at how many times it was read, because in both cases, that media outlet is making the same amount of money on advertising. This statistic can be upsetting to Trump supporters, but the deeper analysis of why people are reading it should be addressed.

Are we not in the age of information? If I want to watch space kitty all day, that's my choice, I don't need someone to tell me its wasting my time. I have google for that.
