To be fare, Alex Jones issues are not a freedom of press related while Acosta's is.

Alex Jones was kicked off social media and such which are private entities.

Acosta was kicked off WH press conference which is an action of government.


Freedom of press/speech isn't protecting one from private individuals/entities but rather government ones.

But Acosta already had a pass, I don't recall a reporter having a pass revoked.

And? Trump started the wholesale denigration of others during the primaries and continued with his Fake News! heckling BS. He'll pick what he's planted, his office doesn't change that.

And he should get it back.


All Crooked Trump had to do was not call on Acosta at all which I am sure he'll do in the future. Easy peasy. That's what most intelligent presidents would have done. Yes, there would be complaining from the left just as there were complaining from conservative reporters when President Clinton ignored them back in the day. You don't throw a hissy fit and look like a spoiled brat as Crooked Trump always does.


LOL.

That's up to the White House, I'm surprised that they haven't given him a pass since he Trump seems to like him.

I guess the only recourse may be to end briefings.



What a priceless BLESSING THAT WOULD BE! ♥♥♥


Sadly since the nut-job-moron-in-chief can't bear to be ignored and out of the public eye, that will never happen, until he's locked away or deceased!

Why not everyone? If it’s a constitutional issue, everyone has the same right to a pass.

Wait a minute.....WAIT A MINUTE !!!!!!!! You are actually concerned about the possibility that civility, respect, and all of that will go out the window while you support a man who values NONE of those ? !

Your boy has NO CONTROL, and no civility, and yet you all think that makes him terrific. If there was ever a more reckless, rude, cantankerous , ugly natured person on this planet, we have yet to meet him. His conferences are peppered with insults, cute little names he makes up for people, and outright lies.

But that is all fine, isn't it ? We just can't have reporters who are not intimidated and who will stand up and not accept the usual BS from Trump and Sarah, right ? Got it.

LOL.
Trump wanted this fight after the election results, he insulted several other reporters along with Acosta.
