“The only station.....” All the more reason to eliminate CNN from the briefing room. Why in God’s name would a sane President provide a press agency access when the sole mission of said agency was to fabricate negative propaganda against that President?
The silly bastards do not understand how the game works. The President of the United States designates them a deceptive propaganda network, refuses them space at the Press conferences, refuses them access or interviews, and freezes them out.
What are they going to do? They need access to him to remain relevant. If all the other networks can cover him and get access, then that puts them at a competitive advantage to CNN.
If the rest of the Republicans follow his lead, then this does even more damage to CNN. All Trump needs to do is to establish the meme that CNN is corrupt and biased, and that is it for CNN.
