Gallery: White House Bans Select Media Outlets From Press Briefing & The Internet Calls Censorship
Just hours after President Donald Trump said the media represents the "enemy of the people" during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday, reporters from major media organizations were banned from an off-camera White House press briefing with Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
According to CNN, Spicer's aides blocked The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, CNN and BuzzFeed from entering his office for the informal briefing, also known as a gaggle.
Reporters from NBC, ABC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg were allowed into the gaggle, as the Times reported, as well as representatives from the conservative media outlets Breitbart News, the One America News Network, Fox News, and The Washington Times.
