But if there's an event going on in the US, such as a big storm, fire, or other problems happening which impact the country, then his show becomes more news oriented. But the bottom line is no one identifies Hannity as a journalist, including Hannity himself.
And by the same token, no one seriously identifies Fox as a news network...but some people find it oddly entertaining in a bullying oafish kind of way.

Stop assuming that just because someone doesn't like Trump, means they must love someone else. It's tiresome and cheap.
Ahh. You want to debate someone who you think is 12 year old. haha.

You are right. Obama was a good actor. An actor who race huckstered, started unnecessary wars of choice, gave appeasement to dictators & terrorists, sold out the US Military, and destroyed the American economy and middle class jobs. And CNN gave him a free pass through all of it.

We don't need any more actors.

Does posting one video mean I'm wrong and this reporter went on and on all the time or something? How silly.

This BS was tried before and proven incorrect. Why do TRUMP supporters follow his example and purposely distort the truth ??

Like that protester, Acosta was grandstanding, period. He has been rude since the beginning of Trump's presidency and deserved to be removed from the press corp. He wanted to argue versu asking a question then allowing another reporter to speak. He made it all about himself.

Yes, it was typical "Jim Acosta." He was out of line. Period.

Trump is still an exposed liar.
Trump should have been the man in the room then and NOT used that young lady as a human shield.

Jounalists will now bait him . Cause he 'll do it again and they 'll be ready.

I would love it if the media outlets comprising the White House Press Corp each sent a black female reporter to one of the briefings, so ALL the reporters giving questions were black women. Trump or Sanders would have no choice but to answer each and every question from an assertive, intelligent black woman. Trump has such disdain for the free press, but has shown even more contempt for black female reporters. Media---just keep sending those black female reporters out there, and make Trump, the wimp, answer to them. He is not worth the mud on the shoes of the media.

Not true. Just a one time event. Actually, it seems like the press corps of all stripes get along fairly well.
