How stupid are the media these days? They're getting busted at every turn for FAKE NEWS. Then they whine about being labeled fake news. Sheesh.
It's the Secret Service that makes the security arrangements.

Secret Service: Guns banned from Trump's NRA speech - CNNPolitics
Here's the caught out liars.
"Despite the fact that Politico’s own reporting makes clear that the Secret Service will be in charge of security (and therefore the ones enacting the firearm ban), the first paragraph nonetheless misleads the reader into believing that the NRA is the group forbidding any weapons.
USA Today had a similar article entitled “NRA draws fire for banning guns at event featuring Vice President Mike Pence.”
A number of local outlets also made the same mistake, including St Louis’ KSDK, Delaware Online, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, NOLA.com, and a number of others.
The lie also made its way to cable news Monday morning, with MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle who thought she was cleverly pointing out the NRA’s “serious hypocrisy” by not allowing guns into the event area while Pence was speaking.
“Gun control advocates are claiming some serious hypocrisy, pointing to the NRA’s long history of arguing that allowing guns in public spaces make people safer,” she said.
Unfortunately, it seems that none of her producers bothered fact checking the assertion."
