ust hours after the White House banned a CNN reporter from attending a press event with President Donald Trump, adviser Kellyanne Conway on Thursday berated the news media, claiming that "shouting" and "pouting" reporters should show more "civility" and "respect" toward the administration.
When asked Thursday why Kaitlan Collins had been booted from a Rose Garden event a day earlier after she peppered the president with questions on Russia and Michael Cohen, Conway, counselor to Trump, responded that unruly reporters were to blame for the incident.
"I think that the question isn't are the press allowed to ask questions, this president obviously isn't afraid of questions. We answer them routinely," she told reporters gathered on the White House lawn. "And that incident aside, just being polite to the process, to the presidency, to the protocol, and not shouting questions long after the press has politely been asked to leave, long after you've had opportunity to be there with the president, I think it's a very reasonable request."
"And that incident aside, I'm just speaking more broadly, the civility that you all call for sometimes when you're in your broadcasts, I think it should start here at the White House, and just show a little bit more respect," Conway continued.

"The White House" doesn't know the meaning of the word "respect". (cue Aretha)
It still annoys me with the manner they use in sheepherding the media from the Oval Office. Who's doing the screaming and shouting there? "ALL RIGHT...EVERYBODY OUT..EVERYBODY OUT. WE'RE DONE HERE...EVERYBODY OUT. GET GOING."
