White House bars media from Xi dinner, Trump criticises coverage
Original: WH bans media from Xi dinner, then Trump fumes at lack of coverage
The White House excluded journalists from the dinner with China's President Xi Jinping, then President Donald Trump complained publicly that the event received little media coverage. The decision to bar reporters, followed by frustration at the resulting lack of reporting, has drawn criticism and mockery, with commentators calling the sequence self-inflicted and highlighting tensions over media access to Trump's meetings with Xi.
Why now: The contradiction of banning the press from the event and then complaining about its low coverage is being widely criticised and shared.
