Donald Trump Cracks Down On Press

A study shows that, during the presidential campaign, Donald Trump has earned $1.90 billion of free media coverage about him. Despite that, he’s been incredibly hostile to the press. Recently, his campaign manager was accused of assaulting Michelle Fields, who worked for an outlet favorable to Trump. Trump has also promised to “open up” libel laws if he’s president, in order to more easily sue people who say “negative” things about him.

Now, Politico reports that one of their reporters “was denied entry to Donald Trump’s press conference on Tuesday night, despite having previously been granted credentials by the campaign.”
