This.


It has nothing to do with them being left wing media. It’s all about doing what is right and journalists working together to make sure this doesn’t happen to other members of the press (no matter the side).

freedom of the press is a good thing... but Acosta actually pushed his rights, to where he impeded other members of the presses rights


he stole from his peers...

This may surprise some folks, but the news crews who see each other out on the field all the time are typically friends with one another, or at least friendly, no matter who they work for.
Yeah, they are just like congress but unelected.

About the same in the ratings too. Dysfunctional with little creditability.

phma, you're going back and forth here, bud. Which is it? Is Fox News "real news?" Or is Fox News a leftwing media outlet? Because you've contradicted yourself with this post and the post you created just two days ago.
Have you ever seen PHMA and Trump in the same room, at the same time? Just saying....

Well I will not debate "nuttery" with you. However, what you are stating is that you are anti constitution. The fundamental constitutional right to question the president is not a partisan issue, despite your belief that everything is left wing or right wing. And what is it with adding wing to it all.....someday you will have to share your definition of these terms you sling around.

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...

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.

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.

Rightwing media would be media that that consistently supports those on the right. They don't support or offer leftwing views other than to counter them with rightwing views. That is not in any stretch of imagination a description of Fox News. Rightwing media would not have leftwing anchors with their own show. Example : Shepard Smith
Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace are good examples of representatives of a right-wing leaning news agency still executing their primary responsibility: reporting the truth to their viewers. Unlike Hannity, who serves as a gutless enabler of a president that does not respect, uphold, or even understand the constitution, they have enough integrity to standup for the rights of a free press and let their viewers know that just because someone runs for office with a (R) after their name, it doesn’t mean they have the best interest of the country or even their voters at heart.

True, Trump is a "rude, out of control, ignorant person consistently wanting to be the story and be in the spot light." . Why do you think he shouldn't be called on it?
