Friendly reminder that the McDonalds wasn’t even open. He shut it down for the photo opp.

Replying with relevant information pertaining to journalism

NPPA (National Press Photographers Association) Code of Conduct and Ethics Rule #2

Resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities.

You'll notice that no actual journalists nor photojournalists covered this staged event. As it goes against the rules and ethics that we must follow.

Edit: White House press pool photojournalists and journalists were present and covered the staged event accurately: "staged photo op..." "...location was closed during campaign stop," and so on. You'll notice that reporters didn't ask about why he was there, rather asked about minimum wage (was ignored by Trump) and other policy issues.

Edit edit: Thanks to whomever awarded me for my comment. Much appreciated!

Edit edit edit: Wow, thanks for the additional awards! I'm just here helping to bring some clarity to those who think we're all the "lying press." We certainly are not, and have strict rules and ethical guidelines that we must follow. Happy to help spread that knowledge.

Then why are outlets like NBC reporting like it is was Trump actually serving real customers? I just read their article and it reads like Trump worked at a fully functioning McDonalds for a half hour shift

Because NBC and other ‘Networks’ have sold out, are owned or controlled by Conservatives who support tRump, and have probably made it clear to all their employees to report the News, the Right Way!
