Why isn't a Town Hall a good example? The moderator asked questions of his own before taking questions from the audience and all questions were screened/selected by Fox.Townhalls are not a good example.
Has she allowed herself to be interviewed by Fox? I don't know of Trump refusing any media other than Meghan Kelly. Do you? And he received a backlash for that and attended the next debate she was involved with.She was just on Fox for a Town Hall with Bernie Sanders on March 7. Less than two weeks ago.Sort of like Hillary that refuses to go on Fox?I am concerned about Trump denying access to Himself by press/media that disagree with him. His wish to stop press/media from speaking or writing against him. This is not about disrupting the rallies. I disagree with those who would disrupt the rally itself or anyone who would do the things you mentioned. This is not about the rallies. Read the post again.First, I don't care for Trump at all.
but...
Would you walk into a restaurant that has diners and start yelling how horrific their food is? What do you expect to happen?
Would you walk into a book reading and start yelling how awful the book is? What do you think would happen?
Would you walk into a theater and start yelling how awful the movie is? What do you think would happen?Donald Trump is no 'victim,' having his right to free speech stolen by Bad Liberals. He is just as busy stopping the free speech of his opponents, and he did it first. He routinely bans newscasters that ask hard questions or print opinions he does not like from his pretend "news conferences." He is refusing to deal with a Fox News debate for a second time, and revving up the slander war against Meghyn Kelly on Twitter. He also wants to expand libel laws so he can sue organizations like the New York Times that "lie" about him (I'm pretty sure NY Times verifies its sources, just so you know). What will political coverage be like when you elect Donald as President? Russia, Cuba – they can tell us all about how to make it work.
Is that REALLY what you Trumpeters want? A country that prohibits unfavorable news or editorials about our President? Shrug and say you don't care at your own peril.
POLITICO reporter Ben Schreckinger was denied entry to Donald Trump's press conference on Tuesday night, despite having previously been granted credentials by the campaign.
The move followed a threat last week from Trump officials to exclude POLITICO reporters from campaign events…
Schreckinger, whose latest story on Trump's campaign was a report on concerns about campaign manager Corey Lewandowski's temperament and behavior, never received an explanation as to why his credentials have been denied. Neither Lewandowski nor Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks responded to requests for comment….
POLITICO is far from alone among media organizations being denied entry to Trump events. The Des Moines Register, Univision, Fusion, The Huffington Post, National Review, Mother Jonesand BuzzFeed have all been denied credentials to Trump's events, often after publishing critical stories about the campaign. In January, New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel was ejected from an event in Iowa after writing about Trump's weak ground game in the state, which he eventually lost to Ted Cruz.
POLITICO reporter denied access to Trump event
Trump is refusing the following media (so far---I'm sure it will grow): POLITICO, The Des Moines Register, Univision, Fusion, The Huffington Post, National Review, Mother Jones, BuzzFeed, and New York Times. He has also re-engaged in the M. Kelly slam on Twitter, for some reason.
