Acosta is being nasty in order to please his bosses at CNN who despise Trump.

Trump is a "rude and terrible person".
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I hate to say this, and everyone here knows I'm not a fan of Trump's personality.
But..... newspeople are given waaaaay too much leeway in how they conduct themselves. Jim Acosta behaved like an ass, and got his just reward. I read somewhere that journalists ask questions as though they were prosecution attorneys. I'm gonna have to agree with that statement. For a long time now I've identified several newscasters on TV who seem to have some sort of complex where they feel they can just run over people with their questions. As long as they're allowed to get away with that shit, it'll continue to happen. I believe in balance.
He said it wasn't an invasion... Trump said it was. Then Trump politely said it was a difference of opinion. At that point your 5 minutes are up, and there are others waiting to ask questions. Having to have some women trying to take the mic away from him is embarrassing. Newspeople thrive on sensationalism. Acosta also asked some inflammatory questions. That's not a journalist's job.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Yes, I agree

Jim Acosta never treated Obama that way, he never treated any of Obama's Press Secretaries the way he treats Sarah Huckabee-Sanders. It's the White House press POOL.....play nice, which doesn't mean let everything the President does slide it just means follow decorum, or get the hook...Acosta has consistently been an ASS and so he got treated like one in return.Originally Posted by Master
That's Trump's prerogative and Jim Acosta poked the bear one too many times and he fucked around and found out.....you don't pull that shit...imagine any Conservative press ever treating a Democrat President that way in the White House press pool, you HAVE to imagine it because it's never fucking happened just like if the Republicans lose an election we don't riot, we sit at home watching the news and saying "Well, now they've fucked everything up again" ..... @Master the left is not above unleashing violent protesters, they do it all the fucking time, they NEVER get called on it, only the Republicans are tone policed and it's about fucking time someone called out the vitriol from the left....Trump has done that and the left is weeping like a fussy 2 year old.Originally Posted by Master
I disagree on your last point.

Now I have to say I DO like Trump I think he's done a bangup job he hasn't been perfect but he's done very well and he's proven he's not like regular politicians who make hollow promises they never intend to fulfill. Trump gets what he promised done...moving the embassy to Jerusalem immediately and under budget was not only impressive it was done with so much ease as a voter you wonder "OK why the FUCK did that take so long?" and then again with Korea and Kim Jong Un he gets the Korean War officially ended (10 Presidents later) AND he gets Lil Kim/Little 'Un to stop firing off rockets all willy nilly and again as a citizen you're like "Hold up....I thought this was supposed to be some complicated shit here, how is a 'reality tv star' (which is how the news constantly referred to Trump) getting this done and 'real life politicians' aren't?" it doesn't speak well for "politicians" on either side.
Now that said, regardless of who is President, the press has a role to play which is to tell the news, ask difficult questions, and hold those in power accountable....they still at the very least need to respect the office of President. I don't want the press acting like Jim Acosta....he's deliberately playing a side....that's not how media should work at the very least it's not how the White House press pool should work regardless of who is holding the office.
This just in Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has suffered a fall and broke 3 ribs....let's see how the Democrats are taking this....
Well well well, how about that then? Not everybody in America is a thick bedwetting racist.
