New York – A New York congresswoman has voiced outrage over the White House decision to block The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, Politico and others from a press briefing.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney said Saturday outside The New York Times offices in Manhattan that she wants the Trump administration to commit to a policy of press access for all. The Democrat says standards should apply evenly to all news organizations.
The decision Friday by White House press secretary Sean Spicer to limit access has sparked an outcry among journalists and others.
The Associated Press chose not to participate in the briefing after Spicer’s decision. The White House said it felt “everyone was represented” by those that participated.
Maloney plans to attend a rally Sunday outside The Times’ offices.
These so called newspapers do not provide balanced reporting. They are so left wing and out of touch with the American heritage. What right do they have to claim constitutional protection?
They anyways report FAKE news and twist around whatever they say , so they could report their FAKE news even they are not at the briefing
Btw Obama did the same
Wow again FAKE NEWS
However, as the New York Times
itself reported in 2015, President Barack Obama met privately with liberal reporters and columnists frequently throughout his tenure in office — “more than a dozen” times. And although he occasionally invited conservative columnists, “Liberal-leaning columnists from newspapers tend to dominate at Mr. Obama’s secret sessions.”
Obama’s private briefings for liberal members of the media, which excluded conservatives, were well-documented. A few:
December 2012: Several journalists reported that MSNBC hosts were meeting privately with President Obama to discuss the impending “fiscal cliff” fight.
May 2013: NPR’s Ari Shapiro reported that President Obama was meeting privately with “lefty columnists,” but hastened to add that there was “nothing nefarious” about it.
November 2013: President Obama met again with liberal journalists, as Obamacare struggled with the failure of healthcare.gov and other problems.
March 2015: Politico’s media reporter, Hadas Gold, reported that “a group of journalists and columnists,” all on the left, met privately with President Obama, but the White House refused to say “who else was at the meeting or what was discussed.”
“What right do they have to claim constitutional protection?”
The right of being Americans, fella. One of the reasons they made this country is so that you don’t have to read what you don’t want to read.
You don’t like the press which will eventually bring down Komrad Trump, and will display all the dirty little secrets of his association with that murderer Putin? Tough luck, fella!
This president most certainly should shun this biased, insulting, lying press until they shape up and start reporting the truth, and stop being so vicious towards him and his administration!
Would you give an interview to a person who hates you and twist your words?
Go collect the news yourself, the president can tell the people all he wants from the broadcast that he trusts.
Fake news, false reporting and haters of our elected President do not belong any where near the white house, 1st or last amendment they should be ashamed of themselves, these reporters are not real Americans..
