The New York Times was among the outlets excluded by the Trump White House for a gaggle with Press Secretary Sean Spicer, and they weren’t happy about it.
A little show of support from a *crowd outside the Times’ building in Manhattan seems to have helped ease the blow for some of the paper’s journos (*it depends on what your definition of “crowd” is):

Incredible turnout. Crowd sizes are always hard to estimate, but there's gotta be 3, maybe 4 people there.https://t.co/ataGhsA66L
