White House Grants Press Credentials to a Pro-Trump Blog
The Gateway Pundit, a provocative conservative blog, gained notice last year for its fervent pro-Trump coverage and its penchant for promoting false rumors about voter fraud and Hillary Clinton’s health that rocketed around right-wing websites.
Now the site will report on politics from a prominent perch: the White House.
The Trump administration has granted press credentials to Lucian B. Wintrich, the Washington correspondent for Gateway Pundit, to attend White House press briefings and ask questions of the press secretary, Sean M. Spicer.
Mr. Wintrich, an artist and writer who has collaborated with Milo Yiannopoulos, the polarizing editor at Breitbart News, attended President Trump’s news conference with the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, on Monday. He was joined by the owner of Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft, who posted on Twitter, “President Trump just spoke about tossing criminal migrants and I wanted to stand up and cheer!!”

This certainly shows that Trump's concern about "Fake News" is a crock.
Trump wants universally fawning coverage. Groups that are mouth-pieces for him will be rewarded.
And any group that tries to hold him accountable is going to be viciously attacked.

This is going to backfire on Trump.
You cannot isolate yourself and your Administration fromr the whole of the US which is what they appear to be in the process of doing and expect good results.
