Several media agencies have been kept out of attending a press briefing with the White House Press Secretary on Friday afternoon.
Among them; CNN, The New York Time and Politico.
The meeting is not the daily televised press briefing, chaired by Sean Spicer, but a smaller, off-camera meeting held in his office.
Still, this doesn't happen everyday.
The Time says Spricer only allowed reporters who hand been handpicked from news organizations seen as friendly to the Trump administration.
“Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties,” Dean Baquet, the executive editor of The Times, said in a statement. “We strongly protest the exclusion of The New York Times and the other news organizations. Free media access to a transparent government is obviously of crucial national interest.”
