https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/homenews/administration/460356-trump-goes-after-nasty-wapost-reporters-suggests-they-be-barred-from%3fampPresident Trump lashed out at a pair of Washington Post reporters early Saturday, ratcheting up the White House's feud with the journalists over their coverage of the Trump administration.
Trump went after The Post's Philip Rucker and Ashley Parker in a tweet, calling them "two nasty lightweight reporters" and suggesting that they be barred from the White House grounds.
The president wrote that the reporters "shouldn't even be allowed on the grounds of the White House because their reporting is so DISGUSTING & FAKE."

MISTAKE
This WH has abused the peoples' right to question their president guaranteed in 1st Amendment protections for the press. And so credentialing authority must be returned to the peer organization and codified, as access is codified for reporters covering Congress.
My fight, every stinking day.

Seeing how Donnie Tinyhands has never worked a day in his life, its understandable how he might not know what to do at work.

He knows that everybody thinks he's "nasty" and "disgusting" and "fake." He calls others that because it makes him feel better about how nasty, disgusting, and fake he is.

(115,602 posts)"the Post refused to cite the majority of Trumps accomplishments from a list of 26 that was provided." IIRC, the Bush admin sometimes sent talking points to TV news people (didn't Olbermann deliver a rant about this?), but at least they didn't whine publicly if there was a lack of compliance.
