Fox News, CNN, Broadcast Networks Unite to Fight Donald Trump’s Reporter Restrictions
Yahoo ^ | 11/23/2015 | Jordan Chariton

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.

Typical MSM reporter’s question for Hillary:

Yeah, I don’t remember them complaining too much about that humiliation courtesy of Hillzilla (they probably liked it on some level).

It’s odd...if (when) Obama did this, we’d be pissed. Trump does it and suddenly he’s fighting the good fight.

” the group of network honchos. “

a den of vipers....bent and determined to try and stilt and turn the next election towards a corrupt Democrat victory . Just as they have done or tried to do in every election since 2001 .

People need to contact these networks and tell them that we will absolutely boycott every and any advertised products/s
shown on their networks . Without exception ; until and unless they treat Donald Trump more fairly .

What’s fair ? When Mr. Trump asks that the cameras pan around to show the actual crowds in attendance ; PAN AROUND ! Instead these corrupt old democrap weasels command their camera personnel to under no circumstances ‘ pan around ‘ and to furthermore BE SURE to film any protests/protesters and emphasis those disruptions .

Trump is right to verbally kick their asses .

The media is going to submit their demands to Trump ?

He knows how to handle that. Fun to watch.

"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."

I went to the Trump rally in Knoxville where areported 10,000 plus attended and people were still trying to get in as Trump ended speaking.

The local news interviewed 2 attendees. One said he came out of curiosity and hadn't decided who to vote for. The other, a black man wearing a Trump shirt and Trump buttons, also said he had not decided who to vote for.

They also interviewed one of the protesters.

Outside I saw several people being interviewed but the only ones to make the cut were a couple of "not sure" attendees.

Tell ‘em the restrictions will be lifted if they first line up, bend over and let us take a turn kicking their *sses. And then, only if we enjoyed it sufficiently.

So far, Trump is still a private citizen, who doesn’t owe $h!+ to the media. Let him cover the speeches on YouTube, like the rest of us.

They’ve got freedom of speech, just like trump...but if they play dirty pool he doesn’t have to give them any access to him.

The FOX thing is all about their Barbie Doll Kelly, and as far as I know she’s the only show Trump is boycotting.

The media/democrats are just another leftist group pitching a tantrum for not getting their way.
