I'm not much of a trump supporter and I don't agree with it, but it isn't new. Obama administration tried the same thing with Fox news.


White House Targeted Fox News
07.14.11

The Obama administration made a deliberate effort to exclude Fox News from a press pool during the height of its war with the network, newly released documents show.
At the time, in the fall of 2009, the administration dismissed the matter as simply a mistake. “There was no plot to exclude Fox News, and they had the same interview that their competitors did. Much ado about absolutely nothing,” the Treasury Department said in a statement. But internal e-mails obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch show that the attempted exclusion from an interview with federal pay czar Ken Feinberg was part of a deliberate strategy. The attempt failed when the other networks refused to go along unless Fox was included.

On Oct. 22, 2009, Dag Vega, the White House director of broadcast media, wrote to a Treasury official that “we’d prefer if you skip Fox please.” Deputy White House communications director Jennifer Psaki wrote the official, Jenni LeCompte, and other colleagues about a report by Fox anchor Bret Baier on the network’s exclusion that “brett baier just did a stupid piece on it -- but he is a lunatic.”

The next day, Psaki wrote: “I am putting some dead fish in the fox cubby – just cause.” And deputy press secretary Josh Earnest wrote LeCompte that day: “We’ve demonstrated our willingness and ability to exclude Fox News from significant interviews…”

Asked about the matter by Fox correspondent Mike Emanuel at Thursday’s briefing, press secretary Jay Carney did not directly address the e-mails: “It is well known that at the time there was a dispute between Fox News and its coverage and the White House and its feelings about the coverage. I mean, that was then and you know we obviously deal with Fox News regularly, I call on you regularly, we give interviews to Fox News, including to Bill O’Reilly and so beyond that I don’t really know much about it.”

Pressed about the exclusion of one network from a press pool, Carney said: “I feel like I’m getting caught in trick question and since I wasn’t here for that part of it, I’ll have to examine that.”
Michael Clemente, Fox’s senior vice president for news, took the high road, saying: “On and off-the-air relations with this administration have come a long way since then, and if that unfortunate incident helped get things on a better track, then it served its purpose.”
But Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said in a statement that the correspondence shows “a pervasive anti-Fox bias” and that “the juvenile Mafioso-talk in these emails has no place in any White House.”

Tu quoque is the lamest of arguments from anybody beyond junior high.

Is even a single one of these because of the directive to allow transgender people to use the bathrooms that match their sexual identity?

I'm more than willing to engage in a rational conversation but you've got to meet me half way. Don't trot out a bunch of illegal behavior that has nothing to do with the transgender issue.

In a couple of those articles the perpetrators dressed as women or claimed to be transgender.

TORONTO, March 4, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A biological man claiming to be ‘transgender’ so as to gain access to and prey on women at two Toronto shelters was jailed “indefinitely” last week after being declared by a judge a “dangerous offender.”

Pro-family leaders are pointing out that this is exactly the type of incident they warned of as the Ontario government passed its “gender identity” bill, dubbed the “bathroom bill,” in 2012.

Christopher Hambrook, 37, leaned on the ever expanding legal “rights” offered to people who “identify” with the sex opposite their biology. Under the name “Jessica,” he was able to get into the women’s shelters, where he sexually assaulted several women in 2012, the Toronto Sun reports.

I think the point is that there is nothing preventing the guy from dressing as a woman and entering the women's rest room anway, if his purpose was to break the law by assaulting someone.

According to you, a guy who was ready to break the law by sexually assaulting someone would have hesitated to enter the rest room if he was breaking the law by doing so. That beggars belief.

[chuckz28]

Is it not harder to commit a crime if you are not permitted to enter a place to begin with? If he is not allowed in women surely won't stay in the restroom and will notify employees vs women having to be uncomfortable with a man in the restroom but not being able to do anything about it because it is legal for him to be in there.

In 2012 a college in Washington state decided it would not prevent a 45-year-old man who presents himself as a transgender “female” from lounging naked in a women’s locker room in an area frequented by girls as young as six. Teenage girls on a high school swim team were using the facilities when they saw "Colleen" Francis deliberately exposing male genitalia through the glass window in a sauna. Police told one outraged mother that the university could not bar the biological male from the premises.

On this issue of crimes committed in bathrooms by people claiming transgender I am on the side of scrum. It's pretty much a nonissue.

My issue as I've said is about indulging a brain that cannot identify the physical body it's attached to. By any measure, that is a brain that has some sort of malfunction. We don't fix a malfunction by saying "ehh just give them what they want".

These people need therapy and specialist to teach them coping methods and possibly medication just like anyone with a mental condition, depression, anxiety, or reality problems.

A girl that identifies as a boy (taking testosterone shots) just won the Texas state girls title.

What is wrong with people. Especially the parents. I think they should be locked up for child abuse. Allowing your under age daughter to take shots of test? lol And then compete with other females. Crazy!

This girl should be given a dose of reality. She should be allowed to compete against the boys who she "identifies with". Let her see who she truly is. Maybe it will help change her change perception of reality,

She is simply a girl who is allowed to dope. LOL @ the retards in texas allowing her to compete and actually giving her the wins.
