Burnett: CNN was denied access moments ago to cover the guest arrivals of President Trump's state dinner for Chinese President XI.

This is a Constitutional crisis. Trump ignores judge's orders.

MS NOW and CNN journalists denied access to covering Xi Jinping's arrival back at the WH for tonight's state dinner. What an embarrassment to our country.
-
maybe instead of trying to get included in WH ceremonial crap they should go do some journalism and uncover the 50 billion crimes they have done
-
I would love to see arrests start happening. Hold them in Contempt of Court then arrest whomever is following illegal orders.
-
The other media should leave the event in solidarity. Don’t give him any coverage.
-
Soooo, contempt charges from the judge in this case? Anyone going to face any consequences?
-
What can be done if we have a DOJ that only reports to him? Asking for a nation.
-
Both are important. Transparency is the point. Seeing your tax dollars in action. Etc etc
-
Are the other press folks walking out… like they should be?!?!
-
If blatantly & repeatedly violating the First Amendment is not a "high Crime and Misdemeanor," I don't know what is. He should be impeached and removed from office.

“When MS NOW and CNN get there, tell ‘em this is the first you’re hearing about their suspension being lifted. It’ll piss ‘em off, but it’ll make Daddy - I mean, the President - happy.” - Natalie, probably
-
Then cries like a bitch when the pool boycotts it in solidarity
-
it doesnt want the press to cover its lousy evening of a shitty meal & shittier ‘entertainment’ kid rock cooking up hamburger helper? “BREAKING on MS NOW: MS NOW and CNN journalists have just been denied access to covering Xi Jinping's arrival back at the White House for tonight's state dinner”
-
Back to court in the morning. Hope the TV pool is boycotted again.
-
He doesn't care about the consequences. He knew he would lose in court, and probably will again. He doesn't care. He wants the optics, the attention and to rile up his base.
-
Right? Not following unlawful orders & such. Can’t wait for them all to get charged.
-
Who knew that the State Dinner with Xi was a National Security meeting. LOL
-
Have the other networks refused to attend in solidarity?
-
Once alllowed back in, they should only report real news not the everyday bs from the admin.
-
Also too: Big distraction from: Low Poll Numbers, Iran War, Epstein Files
-
Okay… but who really cares about these two having dinner anyway?
-
Why did they try going back? Sigh. Midterms please hurry.
