"""Trump had repeatedly asked aides to ban reporters before barring CNN journalist from press event: report"""

President Trump has reportedly spoken to White House officials on numerous occasions in recent months about banning reporters from White House press briefings.

The Washington Post reported Friday that Trump, angered by what he believes to be disrespectful behavior from journalists toward his administration, has spoken to aides about blacklisting CNN's Jim Acosta and American Urban Radio Networks reporter April Ryan, who is also a CNN contributor.

Trump, she explained, objects to “the shouting and the pouting long after the press corps has been politely asked to leave the room.”

Can't blame him for that. No more questions means no more questions.

A whitehut press pass is a privilege. Since CNN and MSNBC are nothing but left-wing propagandists, give their passes to someone else.

With no microphones...but they’d still shout as loudly as they could. There is, however, noise canceling/damping technology that could be deployed.

They apparently get to run around inside the WH all day in addition to the question periods.

Kick them off the Property and make them hang out at the Park across the street with the other street people.

As long as the reporter remains professional, I don’t care much what they ask. Of course that’s if they don’t ask the same question twenty times, just because they didn’t like the way it was answered the first several times.

Somewhere along the line, the media folks got the idea they could treat Trump as crassly as they wanted to, with no limits.

Sorry, that doesn’t fly with me.

Pointed questions were asked from Obama once in a great while, but the press people didn’t try to belittle him.

They try to destroy Trump, just blatantly.

I wouldn’t put up with it.

Show me some respect and I’ll respect you.

Don’t ever lie to me. Don’t publish lies about my administration. You do that and the person making the infraction will be black-balled for months. The organization itself would be banned for at least a month.

With Freedom comes responsibility.

All should watch the video from the article....Kaitlan Collins was out of line rude and that is saying a lot. The entire cadre of reporters were impertinent and disrespectful, unbelievably uncivil. The President was gracious to these churlish reporters; just a few well mannered and respected reporters should ever be allowed in such a setting with the POTUS.

No cameras in the press room would weed out quiet a few of these ill mannered people IMHO.

"There is, however, noise canceling/damping technology that could be deployed."

There's a good idea for development.

A high gain, directional cone of silence "gun" to point at the exceptionally bad actors. THAT would be funny.

“Just stop[ped] the pressers.”

They have become largely obsolete, especially with the Twitter Bombing POTUS.

Call them what they are. They are not reporters or journalist, they are left wing activist.

PERFECT!

They’re rude and disrespectful to Sarah Sanders.

She’s not paid to endure Acosta’s showboating shout fests or April Ryan’s insults. The two of them need to learn some manners and dismount from their high horses. Neither are anything special.
