Looks like the Des Moines Register got into the Trump event after all

While CNN in its headline says that presidential candidate Donald Trump banned an Iowa paper from his appearance in Oskaloosa today because of a “critical editorial,” keep in mind that the newspaper was the Des Moines Register, and its “critical editorial” actually called for Donald Trump to drop out of the race.

Same thing Obama and Hillary does. MSM suddenly notices when Trump does it .

If he banned them, they aren’t there as reporters. They are there as citizens. I’d move them back into the crowd. They have as much right as anyone else to attend. They don’t have a right to be recognized in an official capacity.

They were there to create and report dirt.

At least Trump didn't tie/rope them off....

Should have seen the press in Phoenix who had to kneel before him, so the video cameras in back could get a clear shot. What a fun thing that was to watch. I’m shocked they didn’t try to make mileage out of that.

They also came early and lined up right on the stage. For security purposes they had to move back five feet. They didn’t care for that either.

They may have gotten in, but they weren’t CREDENTIALED.
