White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday turned to the New York Post for the first question of his first formal press briefing.

The first few questions of Spicer's briefing went to nontraditional media outlets, instead of the bigger broadcast networks and print publications. The Associated Press typically gets the first question at White House briefings.

Spicer called on another conservative news organization, the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), for the second question.

Univision was given the third question. The Spanish-language broadcaster notably clashed with President Trump during the campaign.

Early questions dealt with Trump's plan to build a wall along the border with Mexico, ObamaCare's individual mandate and the president's move to ban U.S. funds for international organizations that provide or "promote" abortions.

Monday’s briefing came two days after Spicer condemned the media’s coverage of Trump’s inauguration in a weekend statement. Spicer on called the media’s focus on crowd size “shameful and wrong.”

"This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe,” Spicer told reporters on Saturday.
