nemy: Donald Trump.

The networks want Trump to ease restrictions placed on reporterscovering his events, the Washington Post reports.

Over the past few weeks, stories have surfaced that indicate a particularly volatile relationship between Trump and the media. At a rally last Tuesday, a Trump aide threatened to revoke Noah Gray‘s media credentials after the CNN reporter briefly left the designated press area to cover a #BlackLivesMatter protester. The aide told Noah to “get back in the pen” or risk being “f*cking blacklisted.”

At a rally Friday, Trump barred members of the press from covering the event, including reporters from BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, and Univision. The Trump campaign has banned publications that have strongly criticized the candidate in the past, thus landing the outlets and reporters in “the doghouse” (a term used by campaign manager Corey Lewandowski).

Trump’s tricky relationship with the press is not a new phenomenon: this past August, the Republican candidate removed Univision reporter Jorge Ramos from a press conference, telling Ramos to “go back to Univision.”

But now, the media is fighting back. The networks hope to draft a response to the Trump campaign requesting that aides stop threatening to revoke media credentials. They also hope to convince the candidate to ease restrictions on the press pool and act respectfully towards reporters in the pen...................Well well!!!

No surprise, they are all taking their orders from their masters.

[Gaffer]

And with their bleats they will fall farther into ignominy and irrelevance.

And UP in the polls Trump goes!

If the reporters survive the water boarding, they can report. Because they deserve it )after being in the tank for 0bama the past 10 years).

I watch zero TV news stations. I don't need them to tell whats what.

[Jack Hammer]

Trump actually knows the media, unlike other pols.

And he treats them as they deserve to be treated - like corrupt, lying, tendentious creeps.

[major-pelham]

You read the stuff they write about Trump and the Trumpians? Now they’re going to fight back? What do we call what they’ve been doing?

[TMA62]

MSM banding together to attack the ‘injust’ treatment by Trump. Just like how the MSM banded together to fight the unjust treatment from Hillary and Obama. /MASSIVE SARC.

Who needs “reporters” when you have YouTube?

At the Trump rally in Columbus, two dipwads in front of me inside the event held up an “H” sign when Trump went after Hillary. I laughed so loud the boy turned around. I said, “You’re so clueless-—no one is going to see your insignificant little sign because to turn the cameras around would mean they’d have to show the crowd-—and they definitely won’t do that.” He looked bewildered, then after a minute lowered his little sign then left.

People view the press at the same level of respect and trust as used car salesmen.

This sort of thing only plays into Trump’s political strategy and serves to make him stinger and more popular.

The reporters that cover Trump are there to do him harm. Why play nice?

Their best bet to bring him down would be to ignore Trump. No publicity, “good” or “bad” is bad for Trump.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The MSM seriously underestimates the level to which the average American hates their guts.

[bajabaja]

And if they didn’t misreport what he was saying, then there might not be all this fussin’.
