Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVIII: I'm OK, You're Deplorable
There was something last week where Drumpf had an event but they barred all the media from it, except for the pool cameras, or something. But along with the cameras, the pool has a designated reporter or producer who accompany them. So the Trump campaign made a big issue, and basically manhandled that producer from going in with the rest of the pool. So that got the network media all upset, and they refused to broadcast any of the pool footage.
The other thing that's got the media pizzed, both broadcast and print, was the whole bait and switch announcement concerning birtherism. They were told it was gonna be a yuuuge, major announcement on the subject, but once there, it was nothing more that the Donald running down a list of new people who were supporting him, and then at the very end, his feeble little, "I now believe that Obama was born in the US", and then turning that into a smear on the Clinton campaign, and then he bails without taking questions. And also, since the WaPo ran that article about him paying off his legal fees with his Foundation's donations, Trump's been attacking them on Twitter big time.
So I think the media is finally started getting tired of being played for fools every time the Trump campaign snaps their fingers, and so has decided to become a little more suspect in their coverage of him.
