The Donald Trump campaign will no longer ban certain media outlets from covering the GOP nominee, first reported by CNN andย confirmed by TheWrap.
The Washington Post, BuzzFeed and Politico were among prominent media organizations on what was often referred to as the “black list.” Trump also threatened to add the New York Times, but never did. Univision, The Huffington Post, The Des Moines Registerย and The Daily Beast have also been on the list at various times.
Trump told CNN, “I figure they can’t treat me any worse!”
“Access to a major party’s presidential campaign events shouldn’t be a favor to be granted or withheld to the independent media depending on how the candidate views the coverage, and we are glad the Trump campaign has decided to take this step,” Politico editor Susan Glasser said in a statement.
