TownHall: As the media is still freaking over White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s limited press briefing on Friday, which excluded outlets such as CNN, The New York Times, BuzzFeed, and Politico, CNN’s Jake Tapper shared this little reminder on Twitter.
As the piece explains, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign told three reporters from the New York Post, the Washington Times, and the Dallas Morning News that they would not be invited on his plane. The decision was pretty suspicious at the time, considering all three had just endorsed his Republican opponent, John McCain.
But 0bama was soooooooo special! He didn’t mean anything by it!
This obama thingy, wasn’t that an STD?
hey get off barrocks back he was black!
Google it and on the first page you’ll see all the explanations and excuses why Obama did that. It’s like when you say that “Obama deported immigrants”, they bend backwards to make it sound like Obama’s banning and deportations weren’t as painful as President Trump’s.
Does Tapper have Dissociative Identity Disorder? Jake #1 uses Twitter. Jake #2 on CNN calls Trump unamerican for targeting the Press.
I still would like to know why those particular entities have any more right than multi-hundreds of other entities to have access!
I should have equal access to the press briefing due to the fact that I play a journalist on the internet. Just as valid as the New York Times employees that primarily provide bird cage liners on a daily basis!
Most days when I remember to, I thank God for our Founding Fathers’ wisdom in giving us the Second Amendment.
On days when the hypocrisy is so maddeningly omnipresent, it is one calming thing that if they did succeed in devolving society to chaos, I have the means to quell unrest and silence the idiots to the best of my personal abilitities, as granted by my Creator.
I take comfort that the great majority of my neighbors are similarly minded and capable and are noble examples of patience.
