“Executives from several television networks held a conference call on Monday to discuss Donald Trump’s campaign treatment of the press, but no immediate action is expected to come from the first call, sources familiar with the call told POLITICO. Another call is scheduled for this afternoon.”

Apparently the Sherman Anti-Trust Act doesn’t apply to the media conglomerates.

If they had any brains or integrity at all, they would treat Trump fairly. That is also what they would do if they wanted to defeat Trump. Fair coverage would remove at least part of the grounds for Trump’s standing as an anti-establishment candidate. Of course, if they had brains and integrity, they would not be journalists.

“Representatives from ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CNN discussed how embeds and reporters from outlets are being treated, including being pushed into media ‘pens’.”

They must be confused; isn’t Hitlery the one who corrals them in with a rope (although they don’t complain when she is doing it).

Maybe, certainly possible. Lots of my favorite freepers are great supporters of Trump, so I don’t get into debating much. I just see it differently, that’s all :)

but when Hillary pulled this stunt, we were furious.

The Media wasn't. They were extremely compliant.

Smells like they entering a conspiracy by trying to find a way to ‘legally’ not run his political ads, to me.

Hillary has only given specific reporters access, otherwise, they are corralled into a reporter pen.

Obama did this through TWO election cycles, I don’t remember the media having a big meeting about it!?!

The double standards with this group of idiots isn’t even a double standard. I mean, with Republicans they have a standard, and with Democrats, it’s a freaking free-for-all!

Come on, you have to do better than make Hillary!=Trump.

That gets your assertion dismissed in a fraction of a second.

I think Univision is barred because of the lawsuit.

They can ‘buy’ their way back in to Donald’s good graces.

Admit they are in the wrong, and $500 million.

See how easy that would be?

Trump is right: they are scum. They should be treated as such until proven otherwise.

If there is any “pen” that the mainstream media should be put into, it is either a “pig pen” or the “state pen”, or both.

Most appropriate, I’d say!

Trump will get 110% of the vote, yes 110% and the libs heads will explode! Be forewarned, when this happens don’t post without checking to see if it was posted prior.
