Allowing only those who are soft to ask questions is new.
- smsm42 10y agoAre you sure? Here is the report about closed sessions with reporters that Obama held: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/04/us/politics/calculated-candor-inside-obamas-off-the-record-briefings.html?_r=0 https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/04/us/politics/calculated-ca... It's not that some of the press was excluded, it's not that only "trusted" media was invited, it's that they agreed to not even report on what they talked about or who they met with. I think private meetings with no mention of them and reporting based on this as if they arrived to it by themselves and not were instructed by the administration is much cozier relationship than just being invited or not invited in one briefing.
