Spicer's aides reportedly handpicked a group of news organizations that, the White House said, had been previously confirmed to attend.
Right-leaning media outlets such as Breitbart, the Washington Times and One America News Network were permitted to cover the question-and-answer session along with a number of major news organizations including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Reuters, Bloomberg and McClatchy.
While the Associated Press and Time magazine were granted access into the gaggle, both outlets refused in protest."
