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

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.”

“Cruz is surging. They are trying to split the conservative vote.”

And the day we get trump/cruz or cruz/trump, the sound of media, GOPe and dhimmicrat heads exploding will make the nazi blitzkrieg bombings sound like a couple kids with cap guns in comparison

Which was well deserved for the arrogant, delusional Mexican invader with the microphone and a big mouth!

WTF? 

Has the MSM, including Fox and CNN gotten a serious case of amnesia ABOUT HOW CANKLES PREVENTED MOST OF THE PRESS AND ALL BUT 'INVITED (PAID FOR) ADORING SUPPORTERS' TO HER CLOSED (BUT VIDEOTAPED) EVENTS?

Do you morons want to talk about 'tricky relationships?'

Please reminds me about the RICO laws and the antitrust/collusion laws and those federal election contribution laws. Wouldn't a lawsuit by Trump over a stupid legal misstep by the MSM for billions of dollars be a wonderful Christmas present for all the conservatives in this country?

I love how he excludes enemy reporters who are there for the sole reason to find fake racism and report ONLY that

Jack Hammer @7: Trump actually knows the media, unlike other pols.
And he treats them as they deserve to be treated - like corrupt, lying, tendentious creeps.

They are far worse than that. The fifth-column leftist media are traitors.

Great list! However, you are missing Brett Baier...might call him Brett Bare! His “Special” Report last evening included a brazen and fully bare-butt display of support for Marco Rubio, predicated with the tease that while other candidates are dropping in the polls, there is one candidate who is rising. This Rubio puff piece was a 5 minute free commercial for the Cuban-American first-term US Senator. Subsequent segments included outright hits and digs at Donald Trump and the other Cuban-American first-term US Senator, Ted Cruz! Of course, Brett provided little or no mention of the comparable Cruz rise in recent polls! Old Rupert & Roger have completely jumped the shark for Kid Rubio and Brett Bare has shown his allegiance! Wonder if the new Quinnipiac poll from Iowa showing Cruz and Trump in a virtual tie for 1st will make it on tonights “Special” broadcast...or get Ted an invitation to the Chrissy Wallass (another candidate for your wall of shame) show or any other Sunday shows this weekend? Doubt it!

Haven't seen Peggy for a while, but then again, I rarely watch WPXI.

Honestly, most of these news readers are drama queens, including the men. She's not the only one. They really get testy when people don't buy their propaganda.

Many people in the media aren’t journalists - they’re democrat operatives posing as journalists.

Now that Trump’s shoved them against the wall they’re taking their masks off...

Just don’t watch tv news. I used to be addicted to daily Fox too. If you’re online, listen to the radio in the car, you’ll be up to date on current events. Turn it off. I do have radio in the kitchen and bedroom too. I don’t have time to sit and look at a screen all day.

And for the retired people among us who do have the time — there are great books to be read, great tv series to binge watch, or Classic movies. Turn the lying tv news off unless there is a serious major event going on (like the Paris attacks or a weather event) - then usually CNN has the best coverage, or if it’s a local event, your local news.

Otherwise, stay outa da alphabets. Turn it off!

Ha ha.

In other words, the media is begging Trump to save their lying, dishonest, and deceiving industry.

In Trumps own words, “No!”

What about Obama’s TRICKY relationship with the Press??? I mean, it is LITERALLY TRICK-Y as in they turn tricks for him. The Los Angeles Times made a video report disappear entirely because it showed Obama clapping and toasting a Palistinian terrorist at a gala.

Sounds like the media is trying to manipulate the outcome of a national election, which is if not mistaken a federal crime.
