Speaking of The Washington Post - this just in from Breitbart:
Donald Trump Revokes Washington Post’s 2016 Campaign Press Privileges
Donald Trump today revoked “the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post” following a Washington Post headline and an ongoing battle with the paper’s owner Jeff Bezos.
Trump wrote in an online post, “I am no fan of President Obama, but to show you how dishonest the phony Washington Post is, they wrote, “Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting” as their headline. Sad!”
He next announced that he is revoking press privileges at Trump events for the Post, “Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post.”
Trump's people later issued the following statement:
TRUMP CAMPAIGN STATEMENT REGARDING THE WASHINGTON POST
The Washington Post unfortunately covers Mr. Trump very inaccurately. Today's headline, "Donald Trump Suggest President Obama Was Involved With Orlando Shooting" is a perfect example. We no longer feel compelled to work with a publication which has put its need for "clicks" above journalistic integrity.
They have no journalistic integrity and write falsely about Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump does not mind a bad story, but it has to be honest. The fact is, The Washington Post is being used by the owners of Amazon as their political lobbyist so that they don't have to pay taxes and don't get sued for monopolistic tendencies that have led to the destruction of department stores and the retail industry.
I do hope that Jeff reads this and considers his position in the grand scheme of things - it would be a shame for Amazon to wind up on the wrong side of the fence following this election. His corporate culture is based on customer service - so should government and when We The People feel we are getting the short end of the stick, we make changes.
