President Donald Trump has blocked CNN anchors from attending a private annual lunch hosted by the White House on the day of the State of the Union, according to the network
We can’t let Trump talk to anyone unsupervised, Russian or American.
If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu. Trump has a big incentive to make sure we’ve been sold-out six ways from Sunday before November.
I wonder if Pravda and Russia Today will be in attendence.
When will the MSM make a stand and refuse to cover “The Donald” when he attempts to over throw the 1st amendment.
Wonder who that dreamy Donnie is taking to the prom? He’s so bitchin’…
we havent seen shit…just wait till he uses the SOTU to dress down any and all of his nemesis’s…just like obama did to him at the correspondence dinner… its ALL about vindictiveness with him…
DJT is a petulant pig.
As the prime exemplars to many of the “complicit corporate media,” this must come as a shock to them. All that toadying and normalizing and this is the thanks they get. /s
Trump’s cage has a dispenser filled with petty pills. He has to tap a lever to get one, and aides have given up on pulling him away from it.
Well, it’s not like he can go WITHOUT a bogeyman whipping boy to make an example of to keep the others well aware of who holds their strings.
Oh. OK. 
A post of mine from another thread:
[Given what McConnell and the GOP have done, I am having a hard time figuring out why polling for Trump’s removal is at 50%.
Instead of in the high 60s.
Until I get a satisfactory explanation (like people having no access to print or broadcast press), then I am going to assume that we have not gotten to the point where we realize our power.
Because a 70+% poll saying
“Trump must be Removed from Office”
Would shut Trump up from tweeting anything at all.
Because we have never been invaded in modern times…never been occupied…never had the freedom of expression taken from us, we still cannot realize our power…and the Forces of Evil are getting us to accept this evil which is being packaged in the guise of a “two-party Horserace”]
That’s on US, and there is no snark, cynicism or sarcasm that can erase that fact. Trump is a Clear and Present Danger to the United States and if only half of us think that he should be removed from Office then that means that a sizable number of people (approaching 50%) are OK with this.
News anchors and reporters crave access to sources and those in power. I suppose it’s a necessary part of their job. although I’m unsure what bombs get dropped in a private lunch. Any that do are probably there for everyone to hear, so what’s the big deal, other than racing to be the first to publish?
Must be weird having a job where being excluded from a lunch with Trump is a disappointment. Not being in the news biz, I’d toss such an invite in the garbage.
I wish the other anchors had the integrity to refuse to go. Let the fat fuck sit there eating his Big Mac alone.
“Well, we’ll just have to leave it at that.”
Ah, let the vindictiveness begin/continue. This is mild it will get much worse.
The correspondence dinner should not be an annual event. It shouldn’t be an event at all.
“CNN anchors Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer were guests last year.”
It takes a real tough guy who can stand up to America’s enemies and global threats…
To be afraid of Wolf Blitzer.
It’s the beard.
You can be sure OAN will be there. That’s just as good as having a Russian seat at the table.
