Trump Again Attacks Media as White House Bars NYT, CNN & BBC from Gaggle
------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump again escalated his self-declared war on the media,
while speaking at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, on
Friday.

President Donald Trump: "A few days ago, I called the fake news the
enemy of the people. And they are. They are the enemy of the people,
because they have no sources. They just make them up when there are
none."

That's Trump, speaking the same day the White House took the
unprecedented act of barring The New York Times, CNN, Politico, the Los
Angeles Times, the BBC and several other news organizations from an
off-camera briefing known as a gaggle. Several right-wing news outlets
were allowed to attend, including Breitbart, The Washington Times and
One America News Network.
