If every 'reporter' acted like Acosta, press conferences would be chaotic.

Accosta, shortened, is Acosta.

The guy is an accoster - he accosts!

What is truly surreal is that there are some people who are actually defending this conduct. These same people would be attacking this person as the most despicable person alive if he had behaved this way towards Barack Obama.

As a result of this spectacularly inconsistent behavior, these people's credibility is severely diminished.

The double standard of the Media, and Democrats is ridiculous and dangerous. If that had been Obama, and a Fox News reporter did what Acosta did, it would be 24/7 outrage by the Media, and their Democrat masters. You'd never hear the end of it.

It is factual. Watch the C-SPAN video. Acosta very clearly uses physical force to prevent the female intern from doing her job. He deliberately physically overpowered a woman so she couldn't do her job.

Since when is it ever OK for a man to physically overpower a woman to prevent her from doing her job? Not only should he be ashamed of himself, yanking his WH credentials was the correct consequence for that shameful and very public display of misogyny.

Yet the left doesn't utter a word about "misogyny" with regards to what Acosta did. Why? It doesn't fit their leftist agenda. It seems that misogyny is reserved only for conservative, white males.

CNN is obviously Hoaxy-Doaxy.

See - film adjustments.

Perception controls for manipulations.

CNN has a significant battery of tools for shape-shiftings.

There is no substitute for cubes.

My car has so many cubes it can eat a volkswagen for a snack.

Trump has more cubes than he even has to use.

Trump, who has a laundry list of questionable actions that are added to on a daily basis including challenging the constitution vs Acosta who may be a bit pushy but essentially is someone doing their job.

I think you are asking about the wrong person 'going too far'.

This WAS an event for the press. Would you rather place duct tape on the mouth of all press members (except Fox News, of course, right?)?

Trumpists are following Trump's lead in trashing Acosta. I wonder if RT is also trashing Acosta today. Seems Trump camp's talking points go out to the right wing media and RT at the same time.
It sure looks that way.

Though hard to say whether Trump's talking points go straight to to RT or start there.
