This is not normal.

In the past certain events were blocked to ALL media, but not ever before (that I can find) has individual media outlets been banned. IMO, he has now taken things to another level.

Also, LOL Spicer said this is what dictatorships do.

Don't worry, if they don't get too much negative feedback they will slowly add to the ban.

December 16, 2016:

Q:"One of the things the Trump campaign gained notariety for was banning outlets, banning reporters..."

Spicer:  "Right."

Q: "You said, I think, that's not going to happen..."

Spicer: "I think there is a big different between a campaign, where it is a private venue using private funds and a government entity.  I think we have a respect for the press, when it comes to the government.  That is something you can't ban an entity from.  Conservative, liberal or otherwise.  That's what makes a democracy a democracy versus a dictatorship. So I think there is a vastly different model when it comes to government and what should be acceptable..."

Frost: Would you say that there are certain situations - and the Huston Plan was one of them - where the president can decide that it's in the best interests of the nation, and do something illegal?

Nixon: Well, when the president does it, that means it is not illegal.

CPAC prank






WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal prison population is on the decline, but a new attorney general who talks tough on drugs and crime and already has indicated a looming need for private prisons seems poised to usher in a reversal of that trend.

Nearly half of federal prisoners are in custody for drug offenses, and the Bureau of Prisons budget accounts for about one-third of the department's overall $29 billion spending plan. The population ballooned during the 1980s-era war on drugs as Congress abolished parole and as federal prosecutors relied on mandatory minimum sentences — rigid punishments strictly tied to drug quantity — to seek decades-long prison terms for drug criminals.
