The White House is being slammed after several major US news organisations were barred from an off-camera briefing.

Reporters for CNN, The New York Times, Politico and others were not allowed into the so-called "gaggle," in the office of press secretary Sean Spicer.

Some of the outlets have been openly criticised by the administration.

Reporters at the Associated Press and Time magazine walked out of the briefing when they found out others had been blocked.
