Breitbart reporter got to ask one of the few questions at Trump presser

In the reporting of yesterday's sham "press conference", I somehow missed the fact that after denouncing CNN as "fake news" and refusing to take a question from them, Trump called on a "reporter" from Breitbart, the go-to fake news source for white nationalists. The first link below tells about it, and the second link adds the intetesting detail that an RNC actually reserved a front row seat for the Breitbart "reporter", and that no other seats were reserved in that manner.

The National Enquirer is the standard reference for truth in news. Fake news is real and real news is fake.
