Hours after President Trump slammed the media in a CPAC speech, his administration appears to be cracking down on press access.

A handful of news organizations were blocked from an off-camera White House press briefing on Friday. CNN reports that it was kept out, as well as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and Politico. Conservative organizations Breitbart News, the Washington Times and One America News Network were allowed in.

The move came hours after Trump delivered a blistering attack on the media speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference here in Washington, D.C. on Friday.

"The media didn't think we would win," he said. Someone in the audience shouted, "Fake news!"

Trump has adopted the term "fake news" and often uses it to criticize coverage he does not like. On February 17, he declared the Times, NBC News, ABC, CBS and CNN "fake news media" that is the "enemy of the American people" in a tweet.

"I'm not against the media, I'm not against the press. I don't mind bad stories if I deserve them," he said on Friday. "I am only against the fake news, media or press. Fake, fake."

The Associated Press and Time magazine boycotted Friday's press briefing in solidarity with the banned outlets. The White House Correspondents Association said in a statement it is "protesting strongly" against how the press gaggle was handled.

White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters hit back at CNN's report, calling it "inaccurate" and "false" in an email to TheStreet. "CNN is inaccurate in their reporting. It was simply a gaggle (not a briefing) and the pool was there, so print, tv and wire was represented. Claims that outlets were blocked are false," she said.
