Network TV representatives decided Monday not to fight restrictions imposed by Donald Trump's campaign on reporters covering the Republican presidential front-runner.
In a conference call, the political-news chiefs of the five leading news networks conferred about the issue but came to no agreement about what to do, several people familiar with the discussion said.
The call among news managers from ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News came after two run-ins between network journalists and Trump officials last week. ...
In interviews, officials from two networks described the conflicts between Lewandowski and reporters last week as an unpleasant but routine part of campaign coverage. They dismissed the need for a collective response.
"As of right now, there's no plan for it and no list of demands," said one official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the group's discussion was supposed to be private.

So they can’t figure out how to team up on him in a way to shape public opinion like they are used to doing? Good.

You boycott covering his campaign.
No, you.
After you....
To: Red Steel
The reason for the decision is R-A-T-I_N-G-S. Worse still is that gut wrenching potential they have akin to IBSD if he does get the nomination and [God Forbid] win.
Their petulant little psyches just couldn’t take the trauma and inattention.

Journ o lists just organizin’. Trump beware.
I hope Trump is ready for the onslaught of hate he is going to get for just being opposed to the media’s candidate, Hillary. They will be so mean to him, his wife and his children, it will shock him as it is so different from how he’s been treated as a celebrity. The Trump family has to be hard ass about the hate and talk over it to the people like Reagan did.
The media will be Hillary! supporters and go after her opposition - Cruz or Trump - like the mad dogs Marxists they are.
To: Red Steel
TV networks can’t find their *sses with both hands; their usual course of action is simply to invent something - and preferably something that reflects a leftist worldview.
To: Red Steel
Of course the fact that they did not object when Hillary’s campaign did the same thing to them months ago kind of put them in an unwinnable position from the start.

Trump seems to have a wonderful family and I hope the filth that is about to hit them is something they can brush off.
Honestly, I don’t know how the Palins got through it - probably only with the help from God.

They have decided just to keep lying and continue to make things up.
To: SaraJohnson
Well he and his family are getting a good indication of it from the way he and they have been treated by good, respectable, conservative Republicans.
Let’s see, he has been accused of being a liar, hiring illegals, raping his ex-wife, sharing a woman with another guy, his wife has been accused of being a porn star. That he is a clown, that he “didn’t build it”, the list goes on.
How much worse can the media get?

Chuck Todd, George Stephanopoulos, and Chris Matthews were never ‘journalists’ - - they were democrat operatives... and still are. They pretend to be journalist.
To think of TV “News” as anything other than Democrat propaganda - - controlled a few Dem Bigs is to admit being a gullible fool.

is collusion regarding a specific candidate a form of political activity subject to the election donation reporting?
If this was a business it would be antitrust
