White House blocks CNN, New York Times from press briefing hours after Trump slams media

Centuries of progress can be wiped out by one man with mental disorders and very small hands.

CNN should be punished for handing out debate questions to Hillary Cllinton.

This is the true America.

This is the true America.

No, this is just the Trump administration. Note that many people are protesting against this.

Um okay, whatever that means. It has nothing to do with the topic here.

something you would expect to happen in third world failed democracies...
sure a patriot will come along and post few pics of how terrible life in India.. lol.. never thought the best country in the world will go down so fast...

Best country for us maybe cause highly educated cream of the crop Indians go their and do well.
But their home grown minorities are stuck in a low income cycle with prejudice rife.
Never bought into this american dream stuff. Its too much of a compromise , economic well being vs living as 2nd class citizens.
Only if we had more farsighted ppl in charge in India.This trump era can be used to attract a lot of the Indian and non Indian talent from abroad

good job Trump...actually the better will be if you revoke all media freedom since it is somehow a threat to democracy.

Barring some news companies from the White House is in no way censorship -- ...if you revoke all media freedom...

To do what you think Trump wants to do would require the revocation of the First Amendment.

Many people don't know this, but court room of EVERY Level (not civil court) have been banning press since 1774, it have been like this even today.

Federal Government have the right (along with its citizens) to prohibit any group of people in your premises, infact, the famous sign "We reserve the right to refuse service to everyone" (Which is similar with this CNN ban from C-Span) have been challenged by any and all kinds of civil liberty groups. And it failed. Come down to the fact that the premises owner have its own first amendment right too. Just in this case, the premises owner is the United States Government.

Banning CNN does not limited their right on their freedom of speech. CNN can still write anything, just they cannot use White House as a source (or at least in real time) In fact CNN has been banned before, when they were first established in 1980s.
