sure, but then at least own up to being snowflakes who can't handle an aggressive reporter instead of hiding behind an intern and fabricating an incident.


when i read you say something like "everyone ignored the video source" or w/e i didnt even get what u meant. multiple people brought up infowars and laughed about how shitty of a source it is.

acosta had this coming, not for being aggressive or asking hard questions, because he's a rude grandstanding bad journalist. i said earlier they shouldnt boot him from the press core, its what he wants.

it's absolutely pathetic and disgusting how republicans are using that poor intern to justify their authoritarian tendencies.

and of course none of the hacks addressed the fact that the white house is using actual #fake news to get rid of a reporter asking inconvenient questions...


We have a draft dodging chicken hawk as commander-in-chief of the military so that's them.

would you rather be branded an enemy of the people or investigated? honest question, i can see arguments for both.


The (no doubt forceful) opinion of one public figure. Or the literal power of the federal government coming after your livelihood.

I'll take the opinion any day. Most of these "journalists" are just shills anyway. The opinion of Trump isn't changing any views on Jim Acosta. People hate him anyway because he constantly peddles non-news garbage.

The claim that the InfoWars video that the Trump administration shared was doctored is not far-fetched at all:

There were multiple fake headlines trying to discredit the video by editing it.

Can you just look at the original video?

That reporter was rude and doesn’t deserve to be a reporter.
