Here's Donald Trump's Campaign Blacklist- annotated

[cali]

The Washington Post is not the first. Donald Trump has been denying press credentials to news outlets for nearly a year.

It's become known in media circles as "the blacklist" -- a running catalog of newsrooms deemed by Trump to be unfair and banned from his campaign events accordingly.

The list includes an assortment of digital outlets, the largest Spanish-language broadcaster in the country, a premiere local newspaper and -- now, with The Post -- one of the most prestigious news organizations in the world.

In some cases, reporters from the offending outlets can still attend Trump campaign rallies as members of the general public, but without the access and privileges that press credentials provide. In other situations, like press conferences, the reporters cannot attend at all.

1. The press holds the power if they ever decided to use it - they

could get together and make the decision to limit their reporting of the guy. Or at the very least, just report through print and online content, and refuse to provide camera coverage. Guess what happens when Trump doesn't have those precious cameras turned on him anymore? He turns into the Wicked Witch at the end of "Wizard of Oz" - "I'M MELTING!!!!!"

2. they aren't talking about this at all on TV. guess it doesn't fit the

narrative.

ratings above all; who cares about the threat to their very existence if this clinically insane megalomaniac assumes power?

remember how the media excoriated Gore for daring to call into question their completely biased coverage during the Bush election theft (I mean campaign)?
