Not really, but I don't like it when Politicians (regardless of party) attacks the press.

How can you support a free press but not free political speech?

I do not believe the press should be left unchallenged as they act as an arm of the democrat party.

And especially CNN as a part of a "Free Press"?

One night, probably in 1880, John Swinton, then the preeminent New York journalist, was the guest of honour at a banquet given him by the leaders of his craft. Someone who knew neither the press nor Swinton offered a toast to the independent press. Swinton outraged his colleagues by replying:
Source: Labor's Untold Story, by Richard O. Boyer and Herbert M. Morais, published by United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America, NY, 1955/1979.

Thanks Bigun. Imagine how much worse its gotten since 1880.

The WHCA is just doing what they have to.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

I think, as a show of unity the WHPC should boycott covering all future pressers or events featuring the Pres. 

That will show Trumps who runs barter town!

https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/07/25/fox-news-viewers-are-attacking-bret-baier-heres-how-hes-responding/amp

Quote
Some viewers thought Baier had shown disloyalty to Trump because he said that Fox News stood “firmly” with CNN on the issue of press availability. The Trump administration had told a CNN reporter that she was not allowed at an announcement at the Rose Garden because she acted inappropriately earlier that day. She denies their characterization of her behavior.

“As a member of the White House press pool, Fox stands firmly with CNN on this issue of access,” Baier said immediately after the story broke.

I agree with Baier on this one.  Remember when CNN stood with Fox when 0bama banned them?

What are they gonna do, file negative stories about Trump and his administration? Boycott news briefings? Do more negative opinion pieces?
I really miss the days when they gave the news straight first and then declared opinion pieces after. Even though we knew the anchors(Cronkite) slipped their bias into stories it was never as overt as what we are shoveled today.

Wish I had seen this before deciding in 1975 to pursue a degree in journalism.

I hate when that happens.

Why are you being so dense? This is not about questions it's about very bad manners!

I watched.  It was the blond that was shouting get out that was bad manners.  Were done, were done over the question.  The video starts with that so hard to tell what happened before the blond started yelling for everyone to leave.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

I agree.  The banned reporter seemed to be acting just fine.  Her banning seems arbitrary and capricious.

Exactly.  Its unconstitutional to ban press.

While I agree that the reporter was being obnoxious, I think that another tactic could have been used. Let her continue her obnoxious behavior, release the vid in a Tweet, then let society criticize her and CNN.

Nothing unconstitutional about it. They have to apply for credentials. They can be granted or revoke at any time.

Not to mention there is legal precedent in the matter from past court cases.   CNN and this hack journalist babe can pound sand.

They should ban any and all reporters who refuse to mind their manners regardless of who they work for and this particular reporter was making an absolute ass of herself.

I would suggest something like a 10 day suspension for poor manners, followed by a period of probation.

Reporters have the right and duty to question authority but not to make asses out of themselves.

Yes.  Cronkite definitely parsed the news a bit but he was far more subtle about it which resulted in nobody knowing or resenting it.

The media has become so overtly biased that people don't trust them for straight news anymore
