Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait released a memo last week saying the news agency will not “investigate” Michael Bloomberg, who has entered the 2020 race for the presidential nomination.
“We will continue our tradition of not investigating Mike (and his family and foundation) and we will extend the same policy to his rivals in the Democratic primaries. We cannot treat Mike’s Democratic competitors differently from him,” Micklethwait wrote.
Bloomberg News, though, will continue to investigate President Trump and Republicans.
That doesn’t sit well with the Trump campaign.
“The decision by Bloomberg News to formalize preferential reporting policies is troubling and wrong,” Brad Parscale, Trump 2020 campaign manage, said on Monday.
“Bloomberg News has declared that they won’t investigate their boss or his Democrat competitors, many of whom are current holders of high office, but will continue critical reporting on President Trump. As President Trump’s campaign, we are accustomed to unfair reporting practices, but most news organizations don’t announce their biases so publicly. Presented with this new policy from Bloomberg News, our campaign was forced to determine how to proceed,” he said.
Parscale said that because of the new policy, the Trump campaign will no longer give press credentials to reporters from Bloomberg News.

Actually Bloomberg needs to divest from Bloomberg News.
In fairness to Bloomberg, what you say applies to nearly every other "news" outlet as well.
BRAVO...winning 24/7
Or change its name.
Makes sense, why give someone vying for your job, to prohibit their reporters from having access to report on you.
It’s great to finally have a Republican administration that defends itself from the leftist media. Very refreshing.
Perfect. Nobody in their right mind could disagree.
It is this sort of action which gives me hope the Trump campaign will not continue the masochistic Republican practice of allowing rabid leftist Democrats to “moderate” the presidential debates.
So Bloomberg proves it is an arm of the Democrat party, and Trump removes them...
OK, next?
Obviously Bloomberg News will never investigate mike bloomberg to find out the truth.
So how much tax money goes into doomburg foundation and is used in doomburg anti gun/Constitutional attacks?
IMHO the White House should do the same.
My thoughts exactly. This falls into the category of all debates, press/media/Hollywood events that purport to be non-partisan events for “fun” but then a non-Leftist shows up, they carve that person up “for fun”.
Just throw all that crap out the window.
Not just that, Bloomberg is telling his Party D opponents that he’ll dig up or make up dirt about Trump, but that they needn’t worry about him. He’s not asking for quid pro quo, but I’m sure he’d appreciate their treatment in kind towards him.
They should not get any Whitehouse or other FedGov credentials either
It’s about time. DEPLATFORM EVIL propagandists. Why let marxists muddy your message?
SWAMP drain.
Best President ever!
“One of the few GP headlines that could actually make good use of BOOM but they use Breaking instead. “
Not really. It’s still sensational BS from Hoft and GP.
It is only the CAMPAIGN that has barred them from official campaign events.
They will still be regulars at the White House and non-campaign events.
But hey, these guys will write any distortion of a headline for clicks.
I don’t think it matters to them. When they went to the news conferences they made up stuff anyway. Might as well just devise a story.
