...The Wall Street Journal reported: Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Monday said his campaign is revoking the press credentials of the Washington Post, citing its coverage of the candidate’s comments on the Orlando shooting.
“Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Facebook. Press credentials typically give reporters access to campaign events and press conferences.
“We no longer feel compelled to work with a publication which has put its need for ‘clicks’ above journalistic integrity,” the campaign said in statement released following the Facebook post. “They have no journalistic integrity and write falsely about Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump does not mind a bad story, but it has to be honest.”
The Trump campaign pointed to the initial Post headline “Donald Trump Suggests President Obama Was Involved With Orlando Shooting” as the reason for revoking credentials. The story centered on Mr. Trump’s comment on Fox News on Monday morning that President Barack Obama doesn’t understand Islamic terrorism, or “he gets it better than anybody understands.” In his Fox comments, Mr. Trump also said: “Look guys, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart or has something else in mind.”

The Washington Post isn’t a news outlet. Its just a political mouthpiece and purveyor of propaganda for the DNC.

Bravo Mr. Trump!
May this be the first of many, many smackdowns to the lying media.

I agree and Donald was 100% right in banning them.
Obama basically said the same about FNC.
NO FRICKING WAY....
Yep. It’s a fact, he’s a fag.
Wow. My gaydar didn’t budge from the zero peg. The guy’s good.
Ted Cruz will come out and say that Donald is acting inappropriate and that conservatives should instead be welcoming liberals’s lies.
It’s nice to see someone stand up the commie media. The Donald isn’t perfect but he is light years beyond the harridan and the failed old socialist.
Make them earn their way back in.
Be sure and report posts 3 and 9 as well if they also upset your delicate senibilities.
“The Washington Post isn’t a news outlet. “
It’s the private mouthpiece for Jeff Bezos, CEO of Google who now owns The Washington Compost. Good move on Trump’s part!
Trump should have “in turn issued the cred’s to Mad Magazine and the World Weekly News”.
