I want to share a few more thoughts from my first time at a Trump rally. Short thread ahead. I wrote about the trip in lots of detail here:https://cnn.it/2PuhgiH

Rallygoers asked me about a bunch of pro-Trump media personalities. Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, Steven Crowder, etc. I was thinking about this today: No one asked about an actual *journalist.* All the names were talk show hosts, entertainers, etc.

At the rallies, projection screens urge people to sign up for "real news" -- by following
@realDonaldTrump. And there's a big Trump/GOP media operation taking photos, making videos, etc. The pro-Trump media machine is in the press pen right next to newspaper reporters & TV crews.Show this thread

It's purposeful. Kept in pens, sitting ducks. Denied access. Credential refused. Told to sit down, be quiet and accused of "not thinking." Disinvited on his whim. Shamed. Bullied. Marginalized. Denied briefings for weeks, forcing you to shout questions on the lawn. Disrespectful.

Before 45, had this been normal at this type of event, the sequestering and minding of journalists? If not, what are they afraid of when it comes to journalists mingling with the crowd? What might you learn if you were free to do so?

Here's a suggestion. Don't go. Don't play his rallies. He lies constantly, he never says anything of substance, just sends you all off chasing your tails to fact check his bullshit. He's not a candidate, you don't need to cover it.

Doesn’t it make you feel like you are in a situation like maybe the rise of Hitler not even a hundred years ago?

You are an animal. You attack our president, you attack our 1st amendment, you attack our 2nd amendment. Animals attack.

This is intentionally created to treat the press like zoo animals. Doesn’t help the cause. Why won’t the press protest the way this is being organized?
