Marty Baron, the editor at the Washington Post, was the editor at the Boston Globe when it took on the Catholic Church and exposed the clergy sex scandal. He has a long history of shining a bright light on dirty politics so I understand why Trump is afraid. But what Trump is too dumb to get is that being kept out of press conferences will not stop the WP from delving into all of Trump's shady deals. What Trump has done is like turning bloodhounds out for the hunt.
"Little Donny" in another of his childish temper tantrums has pulled the press credentials of the Washington Post from covering his campaign events. Wow, I guess the Post may have to close it doors now, as this will surely kill their circulation numbers.
How stupid a move is this, as there is an old adage that says, "don't get into an argument with someone that buys ink by the barrel"! Also last I checked the first amendment does cover something called freedom of the press does it not? I guess though because he is such a business genius, he can't let a little detail like the first amendment get in his way.
Just another glaring example of his pettiness, stupidity and smallness along with affirmation of the increasing evidence that he is not fit to lead a great nation like ours.
President's, Big people, and Leaders don't shrink from criticism, and pout when they receive it, but embrace it as a way to grow, develop and get better.
Besides Donald the 20 reporters they have on you has probably now increased to 40!
Donald is controlling the media exactly like Obama has. Donald is Obama on steroids.
If you want to introduce lying into this discussion, Mr. Trump's mountains of lies -- big and small -- are far greater than anything Mrs. Clinton has lied about.
Every politician skirts the truth from time to time and this is what Clinton does. Trump lies about everything -- from preposterous claims that unemployment is really 44% to claims that he never heard of the KKK leader that endorsed him -- even though that is on record.
While we are on the topic of the WaPo, this is from them: Trump lies and lies and lies again
Before Trump supporters claim Mrs. Clinton is a liar, get your own house in order.
On the topic, Trump doesn't like criticism and thinks he can bully one of the most respected newspapers in the country. This calls into question two character flaws 1) that he can't take negative press without having a wild fit, and; 2) that he is prone to punish anyone that goes against his wishes.
Before Hillary supporters claim Mr. Trump is a liar, get their own house in order.
Remember kids: Hillary is under investigation by the FBI.
Let's talk about getting things in order before throwing stones. Right MTA?

Exactly, and now they're even more motivated. Trump, being the short-sighted dolt that he is, tried punish the WP because he's unhappy with their coverage. Who cares what happens at press conferences? Hundreds of media outlets cover those. All he's done is make himself look like the thin-skinned despot that he wants to be and inspired the reporters to go the extra mile in their investigations.
ONLY revoking WaPo is hardly removing negative press. WaPo has already declared their only purpose is to portray Trump badly. This is still scrapping at peanut CRUMBS compared to Hillary. If this is the "big deal" about Trump then it is only making him look good.
This just means the Washington Post's circulation, web hits will go down.
I'm guessing, like the rest of the worthless MSM in the USA, they are already pleading with Trump to reconsider.
True. Trump is the Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan of the election cycle - if he cuts you off, your ratings wither and die. Hillary is the stale, moldy, rotting piece of cheese pushed way back in the fridge - publications/news channels are screwed if she's their main focus.
Only allow media that likes you LOL. Sounds like communism to me
