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'd like to see Trump call out these left-wing weasels by name. For example: “Here's Joe Scumbucket, a big cheese at ABC, he's having three affairs, uses cocaine, and smokes MJ, and he's mean to his mother...”. Once these A-holes have their personal lives turned inside out like they do to everyone they disagree with ideologically, they may just change their behavior.

On second thought...nah!

Trump is resonating with the MAJORITY of Americans who are sick and tired of the establishment hacks always rewriting the narrative.

They’ll make every attempt to shut his message down.

Go Trump...make America great, again for We the People!!

The Enemy Media is trying to attack Trump and split the conservative vote.

This is why they are saying Cruz is surging. They are trying to split the conservative vote.

Call it divide and conquer.

This is how Trump gets even, he has almost 5 million followers on Twitter.

Words well spoken.

Actually, used car salesmen are capable of being more honest than politicians.

GO TRUMP GO!!!

Interesting how we never heard a peep from these people when Hillary’s campaign started doing this to them months ago.

Are you talking about the Pittsburgh local news?

I don’t see the news media trying to get the hostages out of Iran, one of which is a Washington Post reporter. I don’t see the news media putting heat on Obama for not getting them released or even trying to get them released either. The only one that talks about is Trump, and they don’t like him.

Listening to Fox this morning and Chris Stirewalt was speaking. Claimed Trump’s support was moderates and liberals not usually affiliated with the Republican Party and Republicans without a college degree. I am NOT a liberal or moderate but a conservative. I have two Masters degrees. Yet I support Trump and Cruz. Stirewalt again claimed Cruz’s support was religious conservatives and evangelicals.

Of course Stirewalt defines conservative Republicans as those who support free trade, amnesty and immigration that lowers the cost of labor for big business.

Yup. WTAE

Yes, it’s been quite interesting to see all these Republicans come out recently endorsing Cruz - someone the GOPe wanted to take out before Trump became a worse problem for them.

I assume they want Cruz to take out Trump and then they’ll do what they have to do to take out Cruz.

I don’t entirely trust Cruz and don’t think he’d be the leader Trump would be. Trump has that force of personality that overwhelms his opposition which of course is why he is so successful.

[SC_Pete]

Trump needs to hire his own cameramen.

[VanDeKoik]

That is what they want Cruz to do, but Cruz wont.

He and Trump are working the plan I think I cracked after their meeting last summer.

I think they are heading into the “checkmate” phase of it.

[publius911]

They also hope to convince the candidate to ease restrictions on the press pool and act respectfully towards reporters in the pen...

That might be doable, if the MSM abandons the childish GOTCHA! questions and other irrelevancies and made up issues or challenges to stupid details, like "there were NOT thousands of 'domestic' koranimals celebrating the destruction of the twin towers; just dozens!" GOTCHA!"

I clearly remember murder celebration reports from the New Jersey area and other cities and towns around New York, and even other metropolitan areas of the US with sizable koranimal populations.

Who woulda known that the MSM would challenge the record? In retrospect, we should have kept a record to respond to these treasonous a*****es.
"Only a few" terrorists celebrating mass murder is just a "minor setback," and besides, "at this point, what difference does it make?"

That there were tens of thousands in koranimal territories worldwide distributing candy and celebrating overtly in other ways is beyond dispute.

Koranimal 'widows' and 'orphans' included!

Cruz as VP would be just fine for me. He has a couple of questionable votes he’s done and his wife works for Goldman...other than that he’s done good things.

Did you ever watch Peggy Finnegan on the local news? (WPXI I think) She is a unwatchable drama queen.
