Were they concerned about the same thing when they were the ONLY ones called upon, and everyone else was ignored? Didn’t think so.

This is fun. The First Amendment does not guarantee the right for the president to invite and entertain a barrage of bad press . The First Amendment simply guarantees the right of people to freely write what they want. The mainstream media are dishonest and stupid

He shut down nothing.

The whiners are still free to print their lies and fake news.

Trump, and millions of his supporters, are just plain ignoring them.

I LOVE IT!!!!

The ABC journalists, like the other traditionals, have been in open hostility to Trump since he won the election, if not during the entire primary season and at the convention. Nothing he can say or do will make them report objectively or fairly; the best step is to ignore them, bring in bloggers and other new media journalists to pack the Press Room.

This is an outrage! The Constitution specifically says that ABC has the right to ask questions at presidential press conferences.

This must not stand!!

If I were ABC, I would write a strongly worded letter to the New York Times.

MSM churnalists are all pathetic morons. This has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. Eveyone’s rights under the 1A are fully preserved in current Trump White House practice. It is amazing how ignorant and stooopid the MSM types are.

As far as I’m concerned, he was just being polite to his foreign guests by not subjecting them to hostile inquisitors.

Maybe Trump could end their agony by pulling their press credentials. That way, they could sit in their offices and write their fiction without even having to be in his presence.

Vega ranted, “I want to tell you about the open hostility right here in this room.

She only now just took a look in the mirror?

Yes...the open hostility. It was YOU who were hostile and by not calling on you all, only serves to make YOU even more crazy than you already are.

We and Trump are laughing AT YOU, mediots.

These mediots are awful slow on the uptake aren’t they.

They would really hate a Nick Saban presser. He embarrasses reporters hellbent on what they think is the issue of the day though Saban is only addressing his issue of the day.

The thing that makes it even better is Trump flipping them the figurative bird.

Like bullies who have had their way for a long time, they are shocked when someone actually hits them back.
