Trumps detractors always hold a double standard. This proves it.

Trump should limit his press availability to Info Wars, Breitbart, Fox News Channel, Fox Business Channel, the Washington Times, the New York Post, the American Spectator, and WND.

That's more than enough.

Or...

The more established media outlets could be objective news people instead of being cheerleaders for liberal causes.

When you work behind the scenes with one of the presidential candidates - are you really an objective news organization?

But yes - he was not yet president. But then again - I don't believe Trump dismissed anyone before he was president. He called them out, but he never removed them.
"never removed them"? Is that the new (fake) narrative or just you not caring to know the truth or knowing the truth but cherry-picking to minimize the negativity of it?

James - not notifying the press to go out to dinner is not the same as a direct position stating one is not allowed to get on the plane.

With regards to the Blacklist - most of the groups are websites that are on level with other websites. Univision is the only major outlet listed, and they had a prior lawsuit with Trump.

But let's be honest - have we ever had media outlets opposed to a president at this level - where they dug up unsubstantiated sexual abuse stories from decades ago... where they colluded with his opponent with debate questions... where they falsely reported a sexual golden shower story from Russia... why shouldn't he be PO'ed at them?

Trump banned media outlets from the campaign for extended periods of time. POLITICO, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed and the Des Moines Register were all banned at times.

Sometimes journalists would attend events as members of the general public, but in several cases they were removed from the venue when security realized the were press.

A Washington Post reporter said he was patted down at a Mike Pence event to make sure he did not have a cell phone or laptop on him.

IIRC, during the campaign Donald Trump used his own plane. The press was rarely on board. They had to use another plane. Until he figured out they had to pay for their seats.

Funny how a topic about Obama banning reporters, turns into anti-Trumpers trying to pin Trump for the same thing.

Ye Olde Double Standard at work yet again. LOL

when obama's AG, holder spies on journalists by falisfying a warrant and judge shopping, the offense goes far beyond banning the press.


Re the latest 'ban' by trump, the reporters not invited were given audi and transcriots of the conference. Hardly defined as a 'ban'.


Remember when it was discovered that a group of journalists agreed to charge racism anytime someone disagreed with obama?


How many links were there in the obama admin to major media management? Stunning infiltration and news control.


Obama has blamed FOX news many times for opposing his policies. Odd that dems rarely accepted invites to appear on FOX news, in a working media ban that set FOX aside from CNN, MSNBC, et al.


HRC had closed presentations with scripted questions and hand picked audience in an attempt to portray her as holding press conferences.


the media has the power to make or break people beyond the reach of the law. Many have fallen though they did not violate a law because of the media.


When the media turned propaganda machine, the country was left without their protection. The greatest tragedy to befall America, ever.

The Obama campaign has told three reporters they have to drop off the campaign plane this weekend. All three work for papers that endorsed Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.: the New York Post, the Washington Times, and the Dallas Morning News.

"Unfortunately, demand for seats on the plane during this final weekend has far exceeded supply," Obama campaign spox Anita Dunn said, "and because of logistical issues we made the decision not to add a second plane. This means we've had to make hard and unpleasant for all concerned decisions about limiting some news organizations and in some cases not being in a position to offer space to news organizations altogether."

...
But the Obama campaign is not a fan of the coverage afforded it by the New York Post or the Washington Times.

Officials of the campaign insist that that has nothing to do with the decision. The Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times wanted to have more reporters on board, they say.


The difference here between Trump and Obama is that Obama made up some lame fake excuse why those outlets were removed - and did not have the guts to tell the truth. Trump is up front in telling certain press outlets what the problem is.
No, the difference is that Obama wasn't president in Nov 2008. your article evens cites the Obama campaign.

In Feb 2017, tRump is prez and is accountable.
