Press enraged over Trump

Reporters bristled at their treatment during Donald Trump's campaign event Friday, where the GOP presidential nominee only briefly addressed his past skepticism of President Obama's birthplace and abruptly left without taking any questions.

Trump then barred reporters from joining a tour of his new hotel, which prompted the pooled television reporters to erase their video from the tour, according to multiple reporters.

“As the designated pool producer; attempted to go on pooled tour, as is customary. Was physically restrained from accompanying the camera,” ABC News journalist Candace Smith tweeted. “Blocked is perhaps the better term. Tried to go through the door, was gently pushed back as door was closed. But that is all irrelevant. The fact is Trump did not allow the official pool to go with him, successfully avoiding any questions.”

NBC's Kelly O'Donnell defended the decision to delete the footage of the tour in her own Twitter post.

The idiot news reader: “After years of claiming President Obama was not born in the United States, Donald Trump finally admits the president... In a campaign event for Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama told an audience that when her opponents go low, Barrack goes high.... This is FOX News Radio, Fair and Balanced.”

At the bottom of the hour they quoted some Fox whore giving Trump '4 pinochios' for saying Hillary started the 'birther' movement. She says there's no evidence of that.....LMAO.

Lester: Why did it take you, Mr. Trump so long to admit that Obama was born in the USA?

Trump: Lester, you are a damn good reporter. But you disappoint me. What classes did Obama take in College. Did he take econ 101? Why do I ask that? Well, where is Obama’s/Hillary's fiscal policy? When was the last time you heard the term “fiscal policy” in the last eight years? Now, I made a and fantastic economic policy speech last 12 days ago. It is the best economic growth policy ever. I promise a 3.5%-4% GDP growth AND 25 million fantastic jobs by 1) cutting taxes, 2) cutting Obama/Hillary regulations that cost our businesses 10s of billions of dollars, 3) new energy and 4) trade policies. Under Obama/Hillary we have had the worst GDP growth since the 1940s.

[This is FOX News Radio, Fair and Balanced.”]

It’s reporting like this that shows how desperate they are to destroy Trumps Movement that they have FINALLY exposed themselves for what they really are...just another member of the lying, frightened little weasles of the MSM.

McCain and Romney would play nice and be rolled over.

Trump is treating them in the same way they treat him.

Its a refreshing change!

There aren’t going to be any debates. Expect Hillary’s hospitalization days before it is scheduled.

How is this different than Hillary telling them “no photographs!” at the 9/11 ceremony then running away for 90 minutes leaving them standing there?

PMSNBC had the story "fact checked" before it ever happened. Trump, all wrong. Ran it, too. Now the fact checkers are getting fact checked and finding out that Hillary's team most certainly was flogging the birth certificate thing in 2008. And they're still running the anti-Trump "fact check" story anyway.

Mendacious, transparently dishonest, miserable lying prevaricators. Caught and shameless. That is the state of journalism, if the word may be stretched that far, in this country.

The general policy of the press had been stated by a famous editor five years ago. "There are no objective facts," he had said before. "Every report on facts is somebody's opinion. It is, therefore, useless to write about facts."

They DO NOT like to be treated with the same contempt that they show any republican.

but, yet they allow hillary to do it repeatedly, without questioning it.
