Trump revokes Post press credentials, calling the paper ‘dishonest’ and ‘phony’
Washington "Trump Free Zone" Post ^ | 6/13/16 | Paul Fahri

Donald Trump said Monday that he is pulling The Washington Post’s credentials to cover his campaign events because he is upset with the newspaper’s coverage of his candidacy.

“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,” read a post on Trump’s Facebook page.

So what does The Washington Post do now: run wire stories about Trump? Marty Baron claims they will keep on covering but how?

The Post pretends the team name isn’t Redskins. Trump can pretend the Post doesn’t exist.

Since their slanted coverage won’t change one iota why indulge their idiocy?

This won’t stop that rag’s bias, but it’s better than the GOP establishment’s practice of cowering and doing nothing.

Remember, the WaPo has said that they are using 20 reporters & researchers to dig into everything that Trump has ever done! Given how the MSM EXPOSED Mitt as a BULLY at high school, prepare for the Apocalypse! It will be Armageddon indeed!

Dayuuum. If for no other reason I’d still like Trump just because he has all the right enemies.

Just watched Fox’s Bret Baier during the panel comments. They were explaining this was bad strategy by Trump, stepping on his own headline.

Meaning: His speech today was dead nuts on target. They know it, Trump knows it, we know it. Trump piggy backs that bit of news about WP press credentials giving it more emphasis and credibility.

They’re [fox Pundents] just sucking on lemons.

The negative stories are all ALREADY typed up ahead of time. WaPo does not need to attend any press briefings.

I was just watching Lester Holt talk about Trump’s “wild conspiracy theories”. Now fortunately, his show aired the quote in question where Trump states that his theory is that the president doesn’t know what he’s doing, but that in other quarters the lack of clear purpose by this president has resulted in other people seeing purpose which seems to have a sinister cast to it.

What he is describing is a lack of clarity which results in problems from an organizational standpoint. This is leadership 101.

Elementary doctor Watson, it will scare the OTHERS (a tiny bit) in writing phony stories.

During Howard Stern’s brilliant move “Private Parts” a pollster tells an NBC suit that Stern’s ratings are off the charts. When the suit asks why, the pollster tells him because love him or hate him, listeners want to know what he’s going to say. The same thing applies to Trump, even with The Washington Post: the vast majority of Post readers HATE Trump but want to read about him: why? Because they want to know what he’s going to say next. The Post whose web site requires a subscription after five views LOVES the hits they get on their Trump related stories: they are making money off of him as ALL the media does. So expect EVEN MORE Trump stories if that is possible.

Does the Post really not use the term ‘Redskins’ anymore? It’s been so long since I read it that I hadn’t noticed; but all the people here still use it, which would make the Post look pretty silly ;-)
