Remember all the times Obama denied press credential to people who he feared might criticized him!!!

Yeah!!!

Me neither.....

To qualify as unbiased in the eyes of this administration, one must stand up and applaud every gust the president emits, tell everyone how good it smells, etc.. Being denied press credentials is quickly becoming a prerequisite of credibility rather than a mark of disrepute.

Continuing to erode press freedoms. A tired, frightened slug of a man.

Trump should get his victim card laminated.

Pettiness is what Donny is all about.

Trump's got dozens (hundreds?) of right wing media outlets helping his push for greater state control of media ala China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, North Korea, etc. The right wing media (US and 'foreign') know their market, know their readers and listeners want to hear only positive things about their political messiah. They know their profits will increase by praising Trump.

Keep the free, for-profit press competitive; allow all opinions WITHOUT state control.

Why not?! It's still a free country, isn't it?

Bloomberg has run a few technology stories and stuck by their claims even after they were proved to be incorrect. Not that those stories have anything to do with a Presidential election.

Perhaps Bloomberg News should post their leads to Twitter?

The Obama administration made a deliberate effort to exclude Fox News from a press pool during the height of its war with the network, newly released documents show.

At the time, in the fall of 2009, the administration dismissed the matter as simply a mistake. “There was no plot to exclude Fox News, and they had the same interview that their competitors did. Much ado about absolutely nothing,” the Treasury Department said in a statement. But internal e-mails obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch show that the attempted exclusion from an interview with federal pay czar Ken Feinberg was part of a deliberate strategy. The attempt failed when the other networks refused to go along unless Fox was included.

You must have been sleeping, we do remember....

Yeah, the last eight years was exactly that as you described it.

Bloomberg reporters

Because CNN, MSNBC and ABC just aren't firmly enough in his corner.

"President Bloomberg"... is it possible?

In response, Bloomberg News said it would cover but not investigate its boss, the former New York mayor, and his Democratic rivals. But Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait said reporters would continue to investigate the Trump administration, as the sitting government.

.....By saying reporters could not investigate Bloomberg or his Democratic rivals, some critics have said this would prevent the news organization from doing in-depth reporting on the campaign. Bloomberg officials say it’s a position they’ve navigated before when he was mayor.

Bloomberg has made it abundantly clear that he won't allow his alleged "news" organization to investigate candidate Bloomberg. Since Bloomberg's underlings won't actually be reporting the news, there is no reason to consider them news reporters. They will be operating as public relation operatives. Therefore, there is no reason to give political credentials to Bloomberg's lackeys.

and no liberals even bother to comment on why this is.

You know, the whole Bloomberg News announcement that it will NOT investigate anything negative about Bloomberg....or any of the 2020 Dems.
