Donald Trump will stop blacklisting media outlets
By Callum Borchers September 7 at 10:07 AM
The media is about to get so much access it'll make their heads spin.
CNN reports that Donald Trump will tear up his media blacklist Thursday and extend credentials to The Washington Post, Politico, BuzzFeed and other news outlets previously barred from the press section at campaign events because of what the candidate deemed unfair coverage.
"I figure they can't treat me any worse!" Trump told CNN.
As a practical matter, the move doesn't change much. With few exceptions, reporters from blacklisted media companies have managed to cover Trump rallies by mingling with the crowd. But the Republican presidential nominee's olive branch could signal a new era of relative civility for the stretch run to Election Day.
