Such bullshit. Also banned buzzfeed, The Hill, Daily Mail and BBC. And of course Breitbart was there because they aren't fake news.

Just a continuation of Bannon's plan.

"They are the enemy of the people because they have no sources," Trump said. "They just make them up when there are none."
He also said reporters "shouldn't be allowed" to use unnamed sources.

interesting, coming from a cheeto who had an "unnamed source" about Obama's birth certificate.

this is his first major step in attempting to control the media. so much for the right's love of the constitution. where's the uproar from all your second ammendment thumpers?

Moving right through the authoritarian handbook. The list of "enemies" keeps growing, and trump supporters keep applauding.

This administration (Bannon) keeps testing their (and our) limits to see what they can get away with. They will pull this back saying it was a misunderstanding or something, but this kind of shit is calculated.

Let's not think for one minute they wouldn't go full authoritarian if they could.

The DHS estimates the total cost will be $21.6 billion. Most interestingly, they say they'll be handing out contracts by mid-April ... so, this is moving quickly.
No one cares that the wall is being built?
Interesting.

meh
Everyone has a right what press they want to read or not.
President Trump is no different.
I personally don't care who he bans from his press conferences, it will make them work a lot harder for a real story.
Dictatorship? - extreme reaction
You should pay attention to the wall contracts that are being sought since other news outlets aren't.

It does say something to his word though.
President Trump is actively seeking builders for the wall and wants to possibly start in April.
Where is the (pun intended) stonewalling from the opposition on this action?

A dictatorship needs abdication by two main groups.. first the people (a clear majority) and second the military. We need the military leaders to remember that they committed to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic. Their oath is to the Constitution, not to the President. That's by design. So long as the military respect the document, we'll make it through this.

Who will make it through what?
Jeez you guys are dramatic when it comes to President Trump.
If he banned fox news from his press conferences you guys would be cheering.

the funding for the wall still needs to pass congress. he can send out all the RFQ's he wants. he's not building it without any money.

Anyone bidding needs to be reminded that he stiffs his contractors.

Not one red cent for that stupid wall.
