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.

Clinton does this every day and they complain not a whit. Clearly this is the established and accepted method of training media lapdogs.

while it would be nice if Mr Trump could establish good working rapport with the MajorMassMedia,
so many of them are such obvious Shills and Publicists for HilLIARy ... that getting any proper press coverage from them is nigh unto impossible, anyway

and of course the public likes it a lot whenever anyone give the MajorMassMediaPravdaLiars a good swift kick in the ass, smile smile smile

Trump’s on the best path POSSIBLE with the MajorMassMedia people, even tho it looks (and probably is) pretty bad at times

Well played.

Tit for tat.

Decisions have consequences.

So he did NOT include them on his normal BUSINESS tour.

As I would expect.

If he did, they would have accused him of, i dunno .. anything ... saying he is selling his business through his candidacy

At least Trump didn’t sequester them in a rope and herd them down the street as crooked criminal hillary did a while back. I laugh at the impotence of the so-called press. What a pathetic bunch of jokers and DIM-lovers.

During this election, The Press has acted in the most disgraceful and biased manner of any Western nation since 1945.

Hillary’s got her entire DNC candre barking about racism and we’re all laughing at the lameness of the latest strawman

Ha ha, I just sent a colleague that same sentiment. How fun it has been watching the butt-hurt “reporters” today. Deleting their stories? What a YUGE loss to humanity, I tell you!

Maybe Trump ought to go Blackface, fooling the press that he is like Bath House, so that they revert to @$$ kissing mode they are so used to.

Listening to FOX News Radio during Hannity break.

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.”

For the last four top-of-the-hour broadcasts, ABC has steadily pushed the idea that what Trump said about Hillary campaign originating the birther controversy is false. Sometimes they cover the subject for about 2 minutes. For them, this is more severe than any other Trump crimes and misdemeanors.

That’s because I’m playing it. You’re welcome to it when I’m finished.

Totally unprofessional.

They all need to be replaced with Liberty University graduates. And from similar schools.
