Second cup of Coffee Talk

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Is the Soviet News Agency TASS still around, maybe they were the ones handing out the Russian TRUMP flags earlier today?

They're still the official Russian news agency.

Well, after RT.

#FakePresident has begun the media censorship. Who did not see this coming?

Thoughts, @Wingingit ?

I see this article at ABCnews

News outlets excluded from White House press secretary's gaggle

So.... note the boycott by AP and Time, not censorship, choices were made not to show.

I went to CNN to read the article about the press block and right off I see two problems.

Maybe I got smoke in my eyes while roasting my sister but I'll let others judge.

"On Thursday, CNN reported that the FBI refused a request from the White House to knock down recent reports that President Donald Trump's campaign had been in contact with Russians known to US intelligence."

The FBI pulled Priebius aside after a meeting and it was recommended that the press be told about the situation.

"But Politico reported that, according to White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, Priebus had merely asked the FBI “to inform journalists of the same point that they were making to us."

and from same article

"The pool usually includes a representative from one television network and one print outlet. In this case, four of the five major television networks -- NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox News -- were invited and attended the meeting, while only CNN was blocked.
Dylan Byers, Sara Murray and Kevin Liptak contributed to this report. "

No they were not the only....

So I'll let you kind gentleman go ahead and pontificate.

It is what you take from the article:

The White House press pool usually includes representatives from one television outlet, one radio outlet and one print outlet, as well as reporters from a few wire services. In this case, four of the five major television networks -- NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox News -- were invited and attended the meeting, while only CNN was blocked.

This was only in regards to the television networks as they were the only.

Yep, I read that wrong.

You need to read other posts where individuals believe the press is being censored, and asked for my opinion.

AP and Time boycotted, CNN was not invited to join as were other media outlets, that is not censorship.

Going to hit the rack, worked close to 70 hours this week, I'm exhausted.

Have a good one, I'm out!!!

My dad floated like a butterfly
And stung like a bee
But when I arrive at the airport
I'm a detainee

Maybe not censorship in the purest sense of the word, but in concert with the repeated attacks of "fake news", it is definitely suppression.

To be fair (deported back to one of the 7 terror nations), donalds never heard of him

That time Donald Trump said there were no Muslim American sports heroes

Donald Trump wouldn't be welcomed to Camden Yards by Orioles VP

I'm torn really. On one hand I agree with John Angelo's and would not want Trump at Camden. On the other I'm kind of immature ( seriously) so it would be funny to watch that tub of Fish Delight try to throw.

Correct but they did the boycott due to the other news agencies being not allowed.

Yep, I read that wrong.

No problem. I guess that is my point both sides take the context of what they want to see in perception. We are all guilty of it. As for the boycott, yeah the AP and Time did that due to CNN and the others not being allowed in, which I applaud them. I hope we keep close eye on this because if there comes a point where more agencies, that don't agree with him, are not allowed in then I hope all take notice.

Trust me we will never agree on some things politically but in my case if Trump was a Democrat I still would not have voted for him.

With that said if I would have thrown in a Red Wings Suck, Lets go Pens or if you threw in a Pens suck, go Wings then those are fighting words!
