Trump Blacklist Grows: Reporters From 3 Major News Organizations Denied Access To Trump Event

[Lakhota]

Reporters from several major news organizations were denied access to a Donald Trump event in Scotland on Saturday.

Staffers from BuzzFeed, The Washington Post and The Guardian tweeted about being blocked from attending Trump's visit to his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland.

BuzzFeed's DC bureau chief John Stanton said he and the Post's Jenna Johnson had been "thrown out of Trump's Aberdeen golf course."

He posted a picture of what he could see from outside -- a home belonging to one of the golf course's neighbors who was flying a Mexican flag to express disapproval of the presumptive GOP nominee.

Trump's campaign has repeatedly turned down requests for press credentials from BuzzFeed and several other news outlets while giving credentials to most other journalists. Critics say this highly unusual behavior by a presidential campaign -- a "blacklist" -- has a chilling effect on the entire press corps.

The Washington Post ban is relatively new. Trump said he did it because the Post published a false headline about him, among other reasons.

I don't see how this will end well for Trump. America needs freedom of the press.

Freedom of the press in the United States is protected by the First Amendment in the United States Constitution.

Trump's assault on the 1st Amendment is shameful. Is this a harbinger of things to come? What's next?

Amen! And yes it is...

The guy doesn't respect a free press or the first amendment. He is a fascist.

. Now see what you Democrat manipulators have caused, and if Trump becomes prez, I wouldn't blame him if he brought every lying stinking manipulator before a house committee, and then ban them from the Whitehouse, or any other important government function and/or business taking place.

I was concerned at first but then I read the list and it was clear that he was only barring house organs of The Democrat Party and of Labour. Not as though they were actual journalists.

You are so lame that you consider BuzzFeed a "major news outlet?" It's even more leftist than the WaPo and would be considered on par with the National Enquirer if more people actually read it.
