On Thursday morning, incoming White House Communications Director Bill Shine defended the Trump administrations decision to bar CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins from a public event at the White House by making a fuss over the exact language he used during the meeting in which he informed Collins of his decision.
During a brief interaction with reporters, the former Fox News executive admonished reporters to ask Collins if we ever used the word ban.'
What word would you use, Bill? a reporter asked him.
When you ask her if we ever used the word ban, then I will answer that question, Shine replied. You ask her focus now you ask her if we ever used the word ban.'

(13,564 posts)The point of the press attending briefings and pool sprays is to exercise, every damned time, the right of the people to question their president. Reporters preserve that right by showing up. By repudiating intimidation. They stand between the people and tyranny by doing so.

(6,881 posts)We stand in strong solidarity with CNN for the right to full access for our journalists as part of a free and unfettered press, Fox News president Jay Wallace said late Wednesday.
The networks chief political anchor, Bret Baier, also took the White House to task for banning reporter Kaitlan Collins from an event in the Rose Garden.
As a member of the White House press pool, Fox stands firmly with CNN on this issue of access, Baier said on Special Report.
