and in a press briefing (Q&A session)... members of the press are called upon to ask 1 or 2 questions..they get answers (maybe not the answers they like)..then its the next persons turn
Acosta stole time from his peers by his grandstanding and he stole their freedom of the press...
Who of the other reporters in that press room is complaining?
All this left-wing, right-wing dispute is nonsense. Freedom of the press is basic to our democracy, and any attempt to curtail it is a threat. This should not be a partisan issue. The press is not the enemy of the people, it is a major protector of democracy. That is not to say that the press is not subject to some excesses or wrong doing. They are human, just as we are, and have on occasion been caught plagiarizing or being other crimes. But that is the price we pay for a freedom - human frailty. If Fox feels this is a case that endangers their press freedom, I have no problem with their agreement with CNN.
Why does the press think they are royalty? They are just doing a job like anyone else and can be fired or banned from an area just like anyone else can for their lack of civil behavior.
Yeah sure if this was Trump Tower or Maralago.
The White House belongs to the country, even if Trump thinks it is a dump.
And with the court case, we'll find out pretty quick.
Even if it is legally allowed, very bad optics for a man who just fared very poorly in an election, snubbed vets by not visiting ceremonies in cemeteries--not even 15 minutes away to Arlington, and acts mostly like a giant spoiled brat.
But if you're saying that Acosta is the only non-sheep in that room, then why are you mad at him? Do you prefer sheepy reporters?
sheepy???
if you were a journalist, and it was your turn to ask a question, and this rude idiot would not sit down and let YOUR RIGHT of freedom of the press to have your turn...would you like that, would you be a sheeple to be trampled on by a rude idiot like Acosta
What happen to the voters being right ?
Oh yeah, the leftwing press wants to decide for the voters who should be President. Now the press is sticking together like the democrats in congress and with the democrats in congress. For the same reason too. They are not unbiased.
When newspapers across the country went out of business was the public accuse of violating the First amendment b/c they didn't buy the papers? No !!! Not buying it now when one moron is kept out of a press briefing either.
The press is the voice of the people, remove them from oversight and there is no voice. This is the Erdogan model, silence the press and you no longer have opposition or a democracy.
Did you notice that with all the people in the room Trump called on Acosta first, he wanted this fight. I don't excuse either for their behavior but banning a reporter is a gross overreaction.
if you were a journalist, and it was your turn to ask a question, and this rude idiot would not sit down and let YOUR RIGHT of freedom of the press to have your turn...would you like that, would you be a sheeple to be trampled on by a rude idiot like Acosta
The other reporters in the room didn't seem to have a problem, most seem to support him.
