Access to the POTUS is a privilege, not a right. As far as I can tell, the NYT and CNN are still free to print and broadcast whatever they want.

Count on the contemptible Christian buffoon to come to the defense of a despicable would be tyrant.

Don't pretend you don't understand the game this administration is playing. You're too bright for that, and disingenuousness doesn't suit you.

No, I'm not kidding. He's not the first bright person to believe in nonsense.

Please don't insult our intelligence.

This is an attempt to shield Trumps regime from criticism and you would be screaming bloody murder if Obama had done this

Perhaps. Are they being treated unfairly? That's obviously a matter of opinion. I personally feel that the MSM have been irresponsible for years. I do not think they intentionally fabricated news, except in isolated cases like what Dan Rather did, but I do think the reporting has been highly selective. Nevertheless it is simply incorrect to say the Trump is trampling on the First Amendment. No one is being censored. The everyday blogger cannot just waltz into a presidential press conference so why should openly hostile news organizations be able to.

I guess Obama should have barred Fox when he was in office. That would have went over well
