So Trump blocked some media outlets from his White House briefing. And only conservative outlets are allowed in. This is concerning as it entails censoring certain outlets that don't agree with the ruling administration from information
So, is Trump an authoritarian?
Does this mean Sup Forums had backed the wrong guy? After all we call out liberals for their authoritarianism when we see it. Yet we give Trump a free pass
See the hypocrisy?

'i don't want to talk to you' is not censoring
...
Trump is just showing cnn etc that they can report on a story fairly
Go look at what China does. Or North Korea. Or turkey. That's censorship. Trumps admin literally said nah we aren't going to talk to these outlets. Obama did it to fox, iced em out. I don't see how trump is in anyway a dictator trying to censor the media when spicer doesn't want outlets with clear agendas in his private media meetings
The White House is only giving information to certain parties
Those that disagree don't get it
That is controlling information flow.
I wonder why he did that...
Maybe because they are trying to actively undermine Trump and not being trustworthy?
Obama blocked Fox.
It's a fake controversy.
So basically Trump wants to shut down people from criticism him?
>Not letting in NYT
>Letting in Washington Times and Breitbart
Cmon
I think it's quite clear that Trump has an authoritarian personality and uses authoritarian tactics.
what is it the left likes to say?
freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences
be fake news, get shut out.
>If I don't like it is fake
That's how this is?
No, he just wants no contact with media that is dishonest and that tries to actively bring down his presidency.
they aren't shut down. cnn.com is up and CNN is still on the air. he just isn't talking to them.
>tell media we need a bigger briefing room to let everyone in
>media calls me literally hitler
>don't change the briefing room and let them know that some of them might not enter because no room
>don't let them in because no room
>media calls me literally hitler
and that's why no one gives a fuck
This is a CTR shill thread paid for by the Democratic party.

>Perfectly fine.
Nah, this is definitely a principled concern about creeping tyranny and not a whiny tantrum from elitist shitheads used to being fellated by the president and his staff.
Obama did not even censor Fox News. They weren't included because Fox News made no requests to begin with
Learn the facts
I wish trump would go dictator mode and censor faggots from irrelevant countries from trying to stir shit up in my country. Hope all you nob suckers choke on the globalist cock
>Breitbart
Literally Blog-tier
It's not a respected news media.
You mean outlets that have lied nonstop about trump 24/7 since he began running.
The same outlets that print leaked White House memos because it will damage trump's administration.
these people have thrown journalistic standards to the wayside and are pure ideologues.
>authoritarian
You say this like its a bad thing
Ok
>It's not a respected news media.
Maybe not by you.
Cletus, do you even know what globalism means?
>don't send out invitation to publications that publish illegally leaked information.
>REEEEEEEEEE WE BE BANNED
No, they weren't invited. FaggingtonPost will be next on the "No Invites" list after the Russian flag thing at CPAC.
fuck off you paki
i know what an orwellian nightmare looks like because my country is slowly turning into one
By anyone.
...
Trump is afraid.
Says who?
What's respected? Cnn surely isn't anymore. But what would a stupid spic know about anything other then beheadings and being a massive drain on the human race
Well, edgy teenager on Sup Forums and rednecks with access to internet think it's a real news source, but no more.

Packing your bags so you can hop the fence, pedro?
"Shut down"? Listen to yourself tommy. Not inviting a news group to one press meeting isn't "shutting them down." They don't suddenly lose their tv channel or billions of dollars because trump didn't grant them a privilege. And it is a privilege to attend these meetings, it's not a right. CNN is bitching like a child when you tell it to behave or it can't play with its toys.
Carlos stop trying to show us the vaulted Mexican intellectual. I know your scared in the bathroom afraid of the cartels but if you don't fix your country no one else will.
concepts like censorship and regards to the freedom of speech only apply to other human beings.
Democrats, like communists are not human beings. They are commies for soros who would not give you back the right to freedom of speech.
So its okay to not give them any rights.
Trump is using his authority to TAKE the authority from the press, to TAKE the authority from the political elite, and to relinquish it back to the American People once and for all.

is this real news to you?
Oh God, you're a londonite shitskin, aren't you?
Get the fuck out, faggot.
Stop posting fake controversy.
Wow so he hates free speech
But you are depriving them information that they need to publish their articles and meet demand
Samefagging your own post on Sup Forums with your shilling info. Good god. Such desperation jose
Is this free speech?
Is that the New York Times?
Of course not.

There is literally nothing wrong with banning media from the whitehouse.
Why can't they report the news now? Because they can't ask questions directly? That literally has nothing to do with anything.
I feel like these threads are made just to get a response. Not because people care. Here is my reply I guess even if that is the case.
>But you are depriving them information that they need to publish their articles and meet demand
The only public availability Trump or anyone else in government is constitutionally obligated to provide is the State of the Union speech.
You can't demand an audience with Trump anymore than you can demand an audience with your favorite hollywood star or corporate ceo.
>Samefagging
Was to making it clear, learn to read.
But whatever Cletus. if this helps you to sleep.
>But you are depriving them information that they need to publish their articles and meet demand
what makes them special? there are thousands of journalists in the country that never get the chance to ask Trump a question.
And you can censor the media by...shutting down critique by not letting them know or have access to what you are sayin
Clearly trump is a facist
Yes, it's free speech you colossal faggot.
>B-BUT IF IT HURTS MY FEEEEEWINGS, IT MUST BE CENSORED AND PURGED
>That is controlling information flow
You spelled very fake news wrong. Whats wrong with controlling fake news?
>muh free speech
Says the country where you can literally go to jail for talking about rape that just happened to be done by a Muslim
1. They aren't being shut down at all
2. I'm pretty sure when you're fearmongering people into going and violently smashing shit because they think the president is going to be rounding up and gassing them that you've crossed a pretty big line
>Is that the New York Times?
do I need to find some fake news for you or are you just going to deny it anyway?
>And you can censor the media by...shutting down critique by not letting them know or have access to what you are sayin
That's not what censorship is, idiot.
>But you are depriving them information that they need to publish their articles and meet demand
No. No he isn't. Not at all. How can you tell? Because they wrote an article about it! They're not being "shut down" in any sense. Trump isn't depriving them of information they need by not inviting them to a single meeting. By that logic he's shutting down Conservative treehouse and Daily wire because he didn't invite them either! Come on now, you're smarter than this. CNN isn't being shut down. They're not suffering even a dent in their profits or ability to lie about trump.
Bongs talkin about hypocritical censoring, imho British citizens have no place at the censorship conversation table GTFO meow !
>authoritarian
>wrong guy
Nigga, this is Sup Forums
Ur in the wrong place
They're a private company, you colossal faggot. Nothing obligates Trump to give them anything. It's a privilege he can grant or revoke. They should be grateful he hasn't kicked them out of his regular press briefings too and have them have to copy their coverage from Fox News or report fuck all.
God damn you keep using that one name to imply I'm a nigger Pedro. Can't be bothered to rub your 3 brain cells together to come up with something new? Guess it's true Mexicans are the stupidest shittiest people in the world.
>shutting down critique
Then why are there still DRUMPF BTFO THIS TIME GUIZE articles being put out?
Why didn't Hillary let Breitbart travel with her on her press plane?
Obama hosted private meetings with journalists all the time. Trump has no obligation to invite everybody to conferences
media was there shitlord. Are you pissed that North Korea newspaper wasn't there too?
when the left does it they admit it's not censorship
Are you really this autistic? Or are you just going for yous? Or are you a shitskin shill?
I would like to sincerely apologise for the actions of my countryman.
He's probably a paki.
> Muh "free press"
'They don't care at all! They are only interested in one thing. Are you willing to be plundered? Are you stupid enough to be quiet in the process? Yes or no? And when a democracy is stupid enough not to stand up, then it is good! But when an authoritarian state declares, "You do not plunder our people any longer, neither from the inside or the outside," then that is bad.
In reality, money (capital) rules in these countries.
They talk about press freedom when in fact all these newspapers have one owner, and the owner is, in any case, the sponsor. This press then shapes public opinion.
These political parties don't have any differences at all. Like before, with us, you already know the old political parties. They were all the same.
Then people must think that, especially in these countries of freedom and wealth there should exist a very comfortable life for its people. But the opposite is the case.
In these countries, in the so-called "democracies," the People is by no means the main focus of attention. What really matters is this group of "democracy makers".'

WAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH why won't he play nice with the people calling for him to be impeached or removed for mental incompetence? ;^(
New York Daily News was among the fake news outlets uninvited to the gaggle. Nobody has been kicked off the island.
>Itt ASSMAD facists
cnn is not some, its only one outlet
>PJo0OOrD
You bloody wanker, you don't even know what a real fascist is.
>only conservative outlets are allowed in
False, they invited a small group of both liberal and conservative outlets. The liberal outlets boycotted the meeting after CNN, NYT, and Politico got asshurt.
Also, stop calling it a "briefing." That makes it sound like they were banned from a White House press briefing (as in, they got their White House press credentials taken away). It was a small, private meeting. They weren't invited, but their media told them they should have been. Then they immediately jumped to telling lies to make it sound worse than it is.
It is written 'fascists', Ahmed.
>"if I don't like it, it's not real news"
Hypocrisy at its finest.
>Clearly trump is a facist
a fascist would have shot them and tossed them into a ditch. clearly you are being retarded.
I miss you, adolf :(
Facists shut down critique
Teump is doing that
Stupid WMAF shill
>Also, stop calling it a "briefing." That makes it sound like they were banned from a White House press briefing (as in, they got their White House press credentials taken away).
It would've still been fine if it was a normal briefing.
I meant to say, they weren't invited, but their ego told them they should have been.
>smear shit on trump on every opportunity they get

What the fuck?
Is your brain malfunctioning, m8?
...
Trump is banning fake news outlets. Good job I say :)
Plenty of left wing organizations were allowed in, too. Just because you own an organization that claims to report the news doesn't mean you have a right to enter the White House. The National Enquirer isn't allowed in, either.
So yeah, if you lie about the administration, there are consequences, while honest organizations are rewarded with the facts first.
I wouldn't go that far, even if they pump out a lot of garbage and have become an active danger to the US. Criticize them, and when they start asking nonsensical questions in the press briefing, shut them down.
>everyone I don't like is Hitler
That's not what censorship means, stop trying to force the meme that this is censorship. You have no fucking clue what censorship is and it's so obvious that you didn't even pretend to give a shit about censorship until the media told you big meaniehead Trump was censoring them.
Denying them access is about as close to censorship as denying the Sun or the Daily Stormer access.
As in, it's not.
Authoritarian shitlord
I think alot of people here simply think that trump is banning the networks for being fake news rather than trying to get rid of anyone that has a dissenting opinion of trump.
My real question is if trump fucks something up, how will I know. I doubt I would have heard about the russia thing if it wasn't leaked by some of the "fake news" sites, and if that story actually does lead anywhere I highly doubt it will be because of the news organizations that he let attend. Real question who is critacizing trump that isn't fake news?
When trump goes around killing or mass imprisoning journalists I'll give you him being a fascist. When he actually violates the first amendment or tries to use govt power to kill a media outlet I'll give you it. But simply denying access to some shitty outlets is ludicrous. This is the type of reporting that got them uninvited. You guys don't see the tide turning and to be honest, the biggest threat to the left and msm is the American people who've finally had enough of your shit.
If you are a liberal read this and please try to get your local compatriots to understand that this shit isn't going to work anymore. Personally I'm ashamed that it ever did in the first place and I hate what our party is standing for, twisted words and lies. I'm disgusted by liberal leaders and media outlets. I'm not a conservative and I don't know what to call myself anymore because I fucking hate liberals with a passion now.
I'm an authoritarian, however, they're the auth-far left, I'm auth centre leaning right.
