Executives from ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, Fox News and CNN spoke on Monday to compile a list of demands they will make to Donald Trump's campaign in response to continued efforts to restrict the press. On a call, senior representatives of the five major news networks discussed recent restrictive actions taken by the GOP presidential candidate's campaign and how they should respond. It's not clear what demands were formed by the group of network honchos.
Last week, campaign manager Corey Lewandowski threatened to blacklist CNN reporter Noah Gray for straying away from the designated "pen" for journalists. At another event in South Carolina on Friday, reporters clashed with Lewandowski and campaign press secretary Hope Hicks, who threatened to pull the credentials of reporters who were trying to interview Trump supporters before a rally. Political campaigns trying to restrict reporters to zoned off areas at events is nothing new, particularly during presidential campaigns.

Ping!
Hasn’t a precedence already been set by our sitting President?
Just a roundup of the usual left wing suspects, and Fox globalists.
Trump should simply state that he isn’t doing anything any differently from any rat candidate. Just that since he is the republican he gets the scrutiny.
Let the deal with that.
Good for Trump!
CNN edited his audio to create a false story. Shut them out. Go directly to the people like Reagan did.
This is the same press that allows presidential press conferences to have all their questions screened and approved by Obama now.
Did they make similar demands of Hillary Clinton after she made journos stay behind the rope?
Trump will turn this into another 10% in the polls.
With Trump, they are all howling.
I think Trump needs to slap them around a bit and put them in their place. Will be good practice for his presidency.
If I was Trump, I would demand nothing less than the lapdog media that Obama experienced over the past eight years.
What are they going to do - boycott his events? That would be the day. They wouldn’t be able to twist the news if they weren’t there.
You know....and Trump knows......
...if they interviewed a dozen Trump folks and 11 gave him glowing reviews, but ONE said something negative....
..THAT is what they would run with.
OR they might plant a negative person...
....or what the hey....even make a negative up!
STAY STONG TRUMP....Don’t give in!
Haha Trump got them responding to his tunes. LoL.
No - they sure didn’t.
Dang, you’re fast..and thx for the pics.
Lets talk about PANNING THE CAMERAS FIRST
Go ahead, quit covering the front runner.
I’m sure that will work out REEEEEAL well for you.
Most excellent.
0bama had tight press control in 2007-08, I didn’t hear of any such action then. Hillary Clinton ropes off reporters, still no big response.
Trump is doing the right thing, especially since so many of these so-called “reporters” are filing stories which are nothing but a pack of lies in the first place. CNN deliberately manipulated the video of Trump responding to a reporters question about a Muslim database. CNN again is spreading the lie about Trump supporters punching and kicking a Black Lies Matter protester in Birmingham.
