Trump Bans Media Outlet After Astonishing Admission

Trump Bans Media Outlet

Michael Bloomberg recently announced that he was going to run for president.

Bloomberg also happens to be the owner of Bloomberg News, an agency that recently made a rather astonishing admission.

Rather than reporting the news fairly, the news agency openly admitted it will not investigate Bloomberg or other Democrats.

However, the news agency plans on digging into Donald Trump as much as possible.

Due to this blatant admission, the Trump campaign will no longer issue press credentials to any of Bloomberg News’ reporters.

Not Even Hiding the Bias

After Bloomberg made his official announcement, the agency also released a statement.

It read, “We will continue our tradition of not investigating Mike (and his family and foundation ) and we will extend the same policy to his rivals in the Democratic primaries.

“We cannot treat Mike’s democratic competitors differently from him.”

That same courtesy will not, however, be afforded to Trump.

As the publication further stated, “For the moment, our P&I team will continue to investigate the Trump administration, as the government of the day.”

Immediate Pushback

Needless to say, other news agencies and the White House were appalled at the report from Bloomberg News.

Campaign Manager Brad Parscale issued an immediate statement.

He said, “The decision by Bloomberg News to formalize preferential reporting policies is troubling and wrong.

“Bloomberg News has declared that they won’t investigate their boss or his Democrat competitors, many of whom are current holders of high office, but will continue critical reporting on President Trump.”

He further stated, “Since they have declared their bias openly, the Trump campaign will no longer credential representatives of Bloomberg News for rallies or other campaign events.

“We will determine whether to engage with individual reporters or answer inquiries from Bloomberg News on a case-by-case basis.

“This will remain the policy of the Trump campaign until Bloomberg News publicly rescinds its decision.”

The outrage was not limited to the Trump campaign or its supporters.

Former Bloomberg Washington D.C. Bureau Chief Megan Murphy was outraged by the statement and said so with a series of tweets…

Oddly enough, there seemed to be little outrage among Democrats or more specifically, from any of the Democrat candidates.

Remember the outrage when Trump joked about starting his own news agency during the 2016 election and Democrats lost their minds?

Well, Bloomberg is the reality of Trump’s jesting, yet nobody in the party seems to have a problem with it now.
