MUST WATCH. With all the gaslighting going on about Obama and his supposed transparency with the press, this is the a great reminder of the truth. 2013. CNN's Brian Stelter does a segment on the growing frustration of the press over not being given access to Obama. Stelter's panel discussed in detail how the Obama Admin was banning the free press from events. We are told that Obama was the most transparent President ever. The truth is pretty much the opposite. Everything was scripted and controlled, including much of the media's reporting on him. Trump has banned a couple new outlets. There's still regularly a large group of reporters in the room with him, yelling questions and taking photos. Obama on the other hand would regularly ban all press by just declaring standard events, meetings, and appearances to be "private." No press allowed. No questions. The White House would then afterwards give the media photos and "tidbits" to publish and report on. And the media went along with it for years. Straight propaganda. Obama banned press photographers and instead the White House would give the media photos to publish. Imagine the media's reaction if Trump did that. Think they would go along with it? 🤣 After years of fawning over Obama and being his lapdog, amazingly some in the media began to object. Strangely, Stelter didn't cry about fascism or accuse Obama of breaking the law. He did though talk about the wonderful dog photos that CNN was allowed to publish.

The Obama regime apparently gave the media their talking points.
This is Michael McFaul, a color revolutionary who worked in the Obama regime. He needs to be wrapped into the Russia collusion investigation. Here he says that the Obama regime would meet with the state media the day before they rolled out one of their fake stories.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described how political opponents invent falsehoods, report them in the press, cite the press reports as proof and print or report the lie as truth to the American people in the MSM.

Again, Democrats accuse Trump of being Fascist, yet every move the Democrats make resembles Fascism. STATE-RUN MEDIA or STATE-COMPLIANT MEDIA is FASCISM. Thanks to the curriculum of Randi Weingarten, they are completely fcked in the head. TELL ME THIS IS NOT COMPLIANCE.

It's called selective memory by the fake news @CNN . And it's their TDS that is making them even more fake with each passing day. Thank you, Maze, for finding these moments in the past and how under several presidencies the news media was shut out. The big and only difference is that when it's a democrat monster they love (like Obama) they don't lose their minds and take them to court over it, but when it's Trump they attack like a pack of hyenas. We must never forget all the history that has made them into fake news and all the lies and bias they have shown over the decades.

As an American citizen i think it's awesome President Trump kicked these lying assholes the fuck out of the press briefing. All they do is make up their own "" Agenda Spin"" on everything. I do not watch any of the news channels he banned. Want the Truth? Watch Dan Bongino. He bring reciepts.

Oh, but that's different...
But, ofc, that’s totally different, because, see, that was for a progressive cause — for the People, against the enemy of the People (to use Maoist jargon, totally applicable here). And now it's the other way around. This is what being a progressive means, it always boils down to this — if you are not progressive, you should be hurt (even by breaking the rules and laws, which is even better). And even though it’s terrible as a governing principle (it always produces misery), it is a perfect adaptive trait from an evolutionary standpoint: people become progressives because they don’t want to be hurt.

Let’s not forget his bff’s at the DNC barred Fox News Network from all primary debates in 2020. Lots of other things happened in 2020 if I’m not mistaken. Perhaps they couldn’t risk questions regarding Crossfire Hurricane coming from Fox.

Obama was the First Democrat to realize that if he took Questions from the Press, he was going to look like an Idiot!! Remember Kamala would never do Interviews and now we have Abdul Telling the Press what they can Ask him about!!

Remember "no drama Obama"? Yeah, if the press had hurled "gotcha" style questions at him like they do DJT, he would have LOST HIS SHIT. Obama saw himself as "above" having the press in tow at official events...more like a King. Yet they still kiss his sanctimonious arse.

October '09 Obama attempted to exclude a Fox News reporter from a single, specific pool interview with the executive-pay czar. CNN protested the exclusion and stood up for Fox. The White House reversed the decision, and Fox News was allowed to participate in the interview.
