lol yes I do


can't say i'm surprised. it's really a testament to how little the trump cult values free speech, freedom of the press, challenging authorities, checks and balances, and democracy in general.
very unamerican, just like your leader, you guys are a disgrace for your country, and history will not look back kindly on you...

thats what happens when journalism becomes activism

was that idiot there to ask a question or to tell everyone his feelings about illegal migrants? i cant tell with his constant interruptions

trump made a clear statement that people have to come legally

acostas time was over, he got a statement from trump, whether he is satisfied with it or not is part of the job and he has to surrender the mic

unfortunately people like him believe that freedom of press means they can just do anything they like

trump didnt disappoint of course, instead of handling the situation with class he did what he does best
the president used his authority in the white house on someone who didnt play by the rules however, deal with it

he shouldnt have taken the press pass, but its clear that acosta doesnt need one
he is not a journalist

im all for freedom. But when the dude is being downright rude to pretty much everyone in that room, by not giving up the mic even tho he was allowed to ask his question, and then being told by the POTUS to sit down. Yet he refuses because he had a burning question that he just needed to ask: What about Russia???...

And its not like its the very first time hes acted this way.

I mean a line has to be drawn a some point Fender.

Also its not like the dude was arrested and thrown in a prison camp, or executed (although verbally he was by President), or giving a complete ban of his pass. He was suspended. I think that falls under checks and balances which u mentioned above.

Dude needed to be checked for acting rude and crazy in these press briefings almost everyday. Also needs to understand that its not his show, so he shouldn't try and act that way. If you ask your question and then ask for another but get denied, pass the mic... simple as that. Especialy if the president is asking you to...


Anyway, Trump completely owned the bum. Like multiple times during their exchange. That's why Acoster was so angry and wouldn't let it go..

Should retards be able to do press coverag? I feel you're bias due to being retarded yourself.


So you do not believe that the pressure should be able to call out people at press conferences when they make obvious lies? Acosta just confronted them for making false statements.

Just shows how little people hold Trump accountable where one reporter does it in a minor way and he flips the hell out.

The worst enemy of the autocrat is Free Press and this Administration has made that clear.

With a sub bad as how the Republican party went from a libertarian-leaning party to authoritarian Landing party in months.

Libertarianism is dead in the Republican party and it may now exist in a meaningful way as a third party.

we already established that you have trouble reading so i'll say it again: his pass was NOT suspended for being rude, but for the incident with the intern - which is ridiculous.
and to make it even more ridiculous, the official white house statement includes a DOCTORED video from infowars to support their decision.

using ACTUAL #fake news to attack the people labeled as #fake news and #enemy of the people... ofc the irony of that is completely lost on a braindead trump zombie, but i think it makes the whole incident even worse. also, that trumpapologists of all people are such snowflakes about a reporter being 'rude' when the current president's OWN rhetoric is the most offensive, divisive, rude, and abusive in american history has to be the pinnacle of hypocrisy...

Quote
The White House Correspondents' Association, which advocates on behalf of the press corps, is expected to issue a statement later on Wednesday night.
Acosta has been one of the most aggressive reporters on the Trump beat, winning him huge numbers of fans but also huge numbers of critics.
During Wednesday's news conference, many people on social media thanked Acosta for trying to hold the president accountable for his words and deeds.
But others condemned the correspondent. Some Trump boosters said Acosta's credentials should be revoked. And pro-Trump media outlets ran stories alleging that the reporter had mistreated the White House aide who tried to take a microphone away from him at the news conference.
Sanders repeated this assertion in her statement.
"President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration," she said. "We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern. This conduct is absolutely unacceptable."
CNN producer Allie Malloy responded to Sanders via Twitter: "This is a complete lie. The woman grabbed Jim's arm repeatedly. He never once touched her. In fact at one point @Acosta tells her politely 'pardon me, mam' as she's yanking on his arm."
Acosta also tweeted that Sanders' description of the incident was a "lie."
At the news conference, Trump snapped at the press corps, called reporters "rude" for asking questions, and made baseless claims about political polling.
"Such a hostile media. It's so sad," he said, keeping up his years-long campaign against the people who cover him.


There is the narrative about what happened. Acosta was removed for grabbing an intern when it was the other way around. President didn't like being questioned.



He is telling the woman to get off of him, and Trump kicks him out for touching the woman.

You just don't think critically, that's it Mr. Douche.

it was the reason they gave for his pass being suspended, but it was obviously a culmination of things/events that led to it. Also you didn't even bother posting the "doctored" video you are so upset about but instead post your own doctored video... makes sense...

Anyway haven't seen it but don't really need to. Saw what happened. Know Acostas/cnn agenda and how they behave not only here but in the past. Have seen the dumb questions this guy constantly asks. But I bet the inforwars video you didn't bother posting showed more of what actually took place than your shitty time video you posted u idiot.

Of course you would use words like divisive, abusive, offensive if you honestly think CNN is not fake news... When in fact I think there a plenty of examples of the presidents actions that would contradict those terms.

But literally all you hear on your "news" networks are those words so of course you follow blindly. Heck you were so lazy you complain about a doctored video being used and then make a post and use a doctored video of your own, when the full length was easily found and 1 minute longer. And then you post the full video of the entire press briefing without giving the time to que the video up in hopes that people would be as lazy as you and not bother finding it. Its like you are purposefully spreading fake news. You are just an idiot if you truly don't see the hypocrisy there.

hey stupid,

what is this bias trash you quoted and posted?

I literally posted the video of the entire exchange and interaction because OP fender was to stupid and lazy to do so. Its post #38.

I watched the entire exchange for myself and made my own opinion and judgement. Basically didn't read some trash like you and quote it.

Acosta was flat out rude. Has been multiple times at these pressers. To the president, Sanders, people who there before sanders. Even that intern who tried to take the mic and do her job. Acoster strong armed her, and LOL @ the other cnn reporter saying he politely said: excuse me ma'm,
Polite wouldn't be the word I would use LOL... and this was all after he had already asked a question and was arguing with the president about the answer he gave to the question lol.. Just repeating myself at this point.

Point is, why not watch the video in post #38, its only like 3 minutes, and make your own judgement, and critically come up with your own views of what took place instead of posting some bias trash in a quote without a source.

Edit: also nice dodge to my original question towards you, because you know, you were completely wrong and false.
