How much disruptive behavior should be permitted? When is it appropriate to take action when a "journalist" shouts over the questions of another, let alone the white house official.

If Acosta goes back, he should be seated next to Alex Jones, they're equally credible.

ridiculous. acosta is an obnoxious cunt who loves the spotlight too much, but nothing of what he actually said or asked is even close to the conspiracy and borderline crazy shit that alex jones spew on a daily basis.
you might dislike them equally (which already shows a massive bias), but 'equally credible' is just plain wrong - if you care about facts...

If banning even one reporter is a violation of the first amendment, then banning even one firearm is a violation of the second amendment. Change my mind.

If I can't take my howitzer into Longhorn to get a steak then I'm being oppressed by a tyrannical government.

I kind of agree with you. It is like kids at college saying don't use hate speech here because I live here and I don't like that stuff where I live. The president lives at the White House and apparently doesn't like shilling pricks up in his crib. Yes it is public ground, but it is his home.

Trump could really push his luck and test the Castle Doctrine on Acosta. He would still get reelected by his base if he did and managed to evade charges lol.

Trump should tell hillary that acosta has information leading to her arrest.

That's a false equivalence between Acosta/CNN and Jones/InfoWars, but I do think Acosta should adopt a less disruptive routine at the White House's news briefings.

It's one thing to be an aggressive journalist, but I just get the feeling watching Acosta that he wants to be the star and create a personal highlight reel rather than rigorously hold the Trump administration accountable and honest.

CNN is not nearly as bad as Infowars, but reaches a far larger audience. In terms of net impact, Jim Acosta is the bigger real world problem.

His job with CNN does not give him the right to grandstand in front of the president and waste everyone's time. He misunderstands his own importance, and the White House is right to rescind his access.

as far as i can tell. trump could have suspended acosta's press pass under different accusations.
you obviously can't have people being too unruly, but at the same time you can't just kick people out because you don't like them.

since there was a big thing made about how acosta "touched a woman", which was rightfully dismissed. they lost the argument they were trying to make.
i believe even FOX news supported CNN in the case.
it was a bad move to suspend him under the circumstance, i believe it could have been handled without such discipline.

i don't like jim acosta, but he's got a right to be jim acosta.

Looks like the WH has told Acota that they will suspend his press pass again at the end of the month when the federal judge's temporary restraining order runs out.

Question: Would it be possible for SHS, Trump, and the Trump administration to simply not call on Jim Acosta during press briefings?

Don't see why they couldn't ignore him
