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.”

I don't watch national news. I might tune into the local channels for the weather, but I don't really even need that.

I did get a kick out of one local TV station's reaction to its poll regarding whether the city should take in the Syrian refugees. I think the vast majority of the poll's participants said no. The news lady looked so stricken, I thought she was going to cry.

“And UP in the polls Trump goes!”

Not quite, they’ll put Cruz up. They know Cruz doesn’t really stand much of a chance in the general, and in the meantime Trump and Cruz may take each other out.

Americans have woken up to the fact that the MSM is a propaganda machine and that they lie continuously just like their puppetmasters. Grownups won’t pay attention to them; just the babies.

He’d just buy his own station, and make it free for everyone to watch...so why do we need ‘government controlled’ media again????

[Awgie]

The media/Uni-party conglomerate has monopolized power and information for the benefit of themselves. We, the people, the bill payers, have been played for fools.

Thanks to Trump the curtain is being pulled back to expose their scrawny putrid naked bodies. The media and the BigGov political class are joined at the hip. The skilled surgeoun, Dr Ben Carson could not separate them. It can only be done by someone skilled at the heavy art of demolition. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Donald Trump.

“Trump actually knows the media, unlike other pols.

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

And this is why I would vote for Trump if given the chance. I understand he is not a true conservative, I understand he has a big ego, etc etc.

But I truly believe he would govern in the best interest of the country DESPITE WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS ON A DAILY BASIS.

Remember when he told the Telemundo punk to stick it? Did that hurt him? How many talking heads thought he was finished when he said it? A lesser pol would never have said it, or would have shrunk with apology and would allow the media to sink him over it. Not Trump.

I think he’s hit upon the real bite on the media per se. The ONE thing EVERYONE frigging one of them has in common is self perceived superiority (of the Press - e.g., “I’m with ABCCBSNBCCNNFOX blah, blah blah”).

The very fact of the potential to deny them credentials - access to his campaign and that backstabbing exclusive - they are forced to participate like all the other undesirables on that line (I’ll call it the Studio 54 losers’ line). It grates at them. In the end, they will end up giving him a half billion $ if free coverage trying to sate their f@cking egos.

You hope!!

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

Worse, I'd say. If you want to avoid used car salesman, you stay off the lot.

Reporters, on the other hand, will harass you with phone calls, stomp through your flower beds, and stick a microphone in your face when a loved one has died...to ask how you're feeling.

Fair Question: Isn’t this EXACTLY what Hillary (and other liberal commies) do with media?

Seems they don’t like it when it comes from the other direction.

CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS Reportedly Band Together to Push Back Against Trump

For those of us disposed to push back, we need some suggestions as to easily used alternatives to NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS Fox, CNN or any other government propaganda or Democ-RAT TV channels TV ...? other than Free Republic, of course.

Any ideas Freepers?

How would they be acting differently? Maybe they'd be more overt. But that would only make conservatives more angry.

They created Trump. Too bad for them.
