White House blocks news organizations from press briefing
This is what fascism looks like.
We can't pretend anymore. Those words probably sound scary to you, but it's true.
[quote]CNN and other news outlets were blocked Friday from an off-camera White House press briefing, raising alarm among media organizations and First Amendment watchdogs.
The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Politico and BuzzFeed were also excluded from the meeting, which is known as a gaggle and is less formal than the televised Q-and-A session in the White House briefing room. The gaggle was held by White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
In a brief statement defending the move, administration spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said the White House "had the pool there so everyone would be represented and get an update from us today."
And while The New York Times was kept out, conservative media organizations Breitbart News, The Washington Times and One America News Network were also allowed in.[/quote]

Well it is CNN... bad news can be harmful. Look at what WSJ tried to do to Pewdiepie even though one of their own writers was making far worse anti-Semitic jokes on Twitter. Meanwhile they're calling him a [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] in their article titles and going to all these businesses that work with him trying to get him fired... several other formerly reputable news outlets were even taking pictures of him just with his arm up claiming it was the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] salute... I've never seen worse liberal news coverage then that situation. Any news coverage really. Hell their titles and what not got JK Rowling even hating on him on twitter cuz she's not gunna take the time to actually watch the videos in question and use context. Damn near anyone who watches this can see how fake news outlets are these days. https://youtu.be/sTCDfE_sKnM

Those words probably sound scary to you, but it's true.[/quote] Ah, but are we forgetting the words of the Great Chancellor Barack Obama? "They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices." That's part of the problem with the super-state you authoritarians all drool over. It's all fun and games until your enemy starts pulling the strings. To raise an actual point, I don't even think you can properly set up and defend your definition of fascism.

15 RepliesWait so Obama routinely restricting access to multiple organizations and sites was ok for 8 years but as soon as Trump does it its fascism? I mean shit the Obama admin even blocked people from the Potus account if they were conservative including a 16 year old black child who dared to call him out. The precedent has been set for a long time Max and if you truly thought this was fascism you would have stood up against Obama doing it for YEARS. Once a president can get away with something future presidents can then take the same action. So suck it up buttercups. You allowed the executive branch to gain limitless power because of your love for Obama and now that someone you hate has the power to do the same don't be surprised when he uses those same actions against you.

17 RepliesEdited by Art Vandelay: 2/25/2017 10:37:56 PMThe only fascists here are those media outlets. They are the ones who prevent free speech, they cut people's mics off when their opinions differ, and they twist the facts into their own "truths" and create propaganda. That's exactly how Hitler rose to power. The American people really need to wake up and realize that Trump is doing the exact opposite of fascism and is doing everything he can to fight it. The mainstream media outlets are just as much of a problem as ISIS. The majority is not even aware of the shit storm Obama created and are completely clueless about the fact that a huge portion of their tax dollars went towards supporting illegal immigrants and funding terrorists. That's your mainstream media hiding these facts for you. Liberals are more concerned about looking politically correct than the state of their own country is in.

1 ReplyAttempts to favour conservative press outlets and declare the mainstream media the “enemy of the American people” looked like a deliberate effort by the White House to inoculate itself from criticism.

31 Replies>people actually being okay with this It's not about "real news" anymore. It's, different opinion = fake news. Stop for a second and think about what the reaction would be if Hillary Clinton was the president and only allowed CNN, NYT, and Washington Post in. "Oh but CNN-" Stop that. This isn't a -blam!-ing video game. This is your freedom to information. I can see why you would think these "leftist liberal scum SJW Cuck Cuck cuckity cucks" are what they are. Because you get all of your information from the same place. Each of you, think exactly the same. You present exactly the same response to every -blam!-ing thing that comes your way. Just a coincidence I guess....

Do you actually believe the hyperbolic nonsense everyone is throwing around, Max? Is this fascism? Totalitarianism? Really? You can't actually think that, right? We can say this is bad without claiming it's the epitome of bad. People will take you and your point much more seriously.
