Not sure Late Night's ban of Trump is equivalent to Trump's ban of the Washington Post, but gotta admire Seth Meyers' initiative.

COMMENTS:
*  Trump said he liked the uneducated, good, because if it wasn’t for fox and the uneducated, he wouldn’t get any votes or air time. Go Seth.
*  It’s incomprehensible to me that anyone, regardless of party, could seriously consider Trump for the presidency. These people are ill.
*  Good for Seth! Now, if someone could demand that this orange haired misogynistic hate filled bigot allow qualified doctors to extensively test his brain we would have the answer to why he’s such an asshole.
   *  That assume they could find it.
*  obama bans fox news for being biased, trump bans the washington post for telling the truth. there is a big difference. i loathe both parties, but the republican party is far worse. it stands for ignorance, bigotry, hate, war, racism, fascism, income inequality, and just about every other negative quality you can think of.  i say this because i am sane. i understand that just because i loathe the democratic party, it does not mean i should blindly support the morally bankrupt GOP.
*  Down ticket ballots will be so fun this November. We will at last have a Congress that works with a leader who knows what she’ll need to do for our nation and since she already knows the floorplan, she can hit the ground running.

Seth Meyers Bans Donald Trump From NBC’s ‘Late Night’
By Lisa de Moraes, June 15, 2016

Seth Meyers banned Donald Trump from appearing on his NBC late-night show last night because, Meyers said, Trump had reached a new low by pulling press credentials of the Washington Post over a headline.

But Meyers also noted, Trump had banned other media outlets in the past, and Meyers forecast that by the time of the election, the only news outlets still allowed into Trump’s campaign events will be National Enquirer and Rich Pricks Monthly.

WaPo was banned for a headline on its coverage of Trump’s post-Orlando comments in which he seemed to suggest President Barack Obama is sympathetic to ISIS sympathizers. The gunman who killed 49 people and wounded more than 53 people early Sunday morning at a gay nightclub called 911 pledging allegiance to ISIS during the rampage.

Among Trump’s comments about Obama the next day, played by Meyers: “He doesn’t get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands. It’s one or the other,” and, “We’re led by a man who is not tough, not smart – or he’s got something else in mind. And the something else in mind, you know, people can’t believe it.” Both comments aired on Fox News Channel.

“Trump is stoking fear and spreading hate,” Meyers said of the latest attack on Obama’s background by the man who  formerly hosted NBC’s The Apprentice while becoming the celebrity spokesman for the Obama birther movement.

“We cannot allow it to become normalized,” said Meyers, whose network took heat when it invited Trump to become the first presidential candidate ever to host another NBC late-night show, Saturday Night Live, after Trump delivered his Mexican Rapists Are Coming! speech announcing his candidacy.

“As long as the Washington Post is banned from Donald Trump’s campaign, Donald Trump will be banned from ever coming on this show,” Meyers said. Later, he acknowledged, “To be fair he wasn’t coming on anyway, let’s be honest. He isn’t interested in being here.”

Your move, Mr. Trump.
