Trump ending media ‘blacklist’

Source: The Hill

Trump’s presidential campaign had been denying press credential requests from the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Univision, the Daily Beast, Politico and other news organizations over what the campaign considered unfair coverage.

But starting Thursday, the campaign will approve their credential requests, a campaign spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday. "I figure they can't treat me any worse!" Trump said about the blacklist, according to CNN's Brian Stelter.

Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate, had publicly said five weeks ago that he was looking into the blacklist, and suggested he would encourage Trump to end it.

but, never follows through. He said he forgave the $45 million loan to his campaign, but there was never any evidence that he actually did it?
