Donald Trump has decided to stop blacklisting media outlets that he claims covered his campaign unfairly.
Publications including The Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Politico, The Huffington Post and others will again be granted press credentials for Trump events as of Thursday, his campaign told CNN Money.
“I figure they can’t treat me any worse!” Trump said in a Wednesday statement to CNN Money.
Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), said repeatedly this summer that he would push the real estate mogul to be more open with the press.
Trump has routinely denigrated the “dishonest” media on the campaign trail, calling out specific publications and even reporters by name during his rallies. In February, he threatened to “open up” libel laws if elected so that it would be easier to sue news organizations.
Thank the FSM, now the media can finally start looking into all of Donnie’s scandals and lies!!!
Crickets chirp…
Excerpt:
“Trump’s greatest trick has been to realize that right-wing media stars have a built-in audience that Republican politicians don’t. To that audience, Jeb Bush talks like Washington talks. Ted Cruz talks like conservative ideologues talk. Marco Rubio talks like the last consultant he spoke with talks. But Trump talks like a true talk radio fan — longtime listener, first-time caller. He comes off like the winner of a reality TV show in which one lucky Fox viewer gets picked to run for president of the United States.”

“I figure they can’t treat me any worse!”
Really? The media has been treating him like royalty up until now. The thing that Trump needs to fear the most is having the mainstream media treat him accurately.
He need the free air-time…
