President Throws Out Disrespectful Reporter

[bottomups]

fact
/fakt/
noun 1.a thing that is indisputably the case.
news
/n(y)o͞oz/
noun 1.newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events.

Unfortunately, the news doesn't limit itself to fact. Therein lies the rub.

The POTUS has a hard time limiting himself to facts. Don't think he can throw stones when the truth is involved.

@cheryl

Does this need to be reported to law enforcement?

See @floridays
LibTurds report posts.

Anybody else find this post by a Mod to be a poor example of leadership?
This should have been handled via the Report link ... not on the Public Forum. IMO

I can see your point.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
However, Tit-for-Tat is more fun.

So you are saying that all news outlets must repeat the same news in the same light?

Maybe in North Korea.

Every president in the in the internet era has faced the same press coverage.

welcome to North Korea. you libs never admit that the MSM is working for your side.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Is it irresponsible to report on what our current Prez actually says?

Wrong

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Common knowledge, AM radio is the haven for absolute whack-jobs.

Sort of like CNN and MSNBC?

 

[Old Man Jingles]

If this was any 3rd world country, Acosta would be hanged by the neck until dead!!

That is true.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Exactly what was it you said moderators do...something about 'on topic'???

He was joking.
That's not in the TOS or was I ever instructed to do so.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Just bringing the conversation back on topic...because that’s what moderators do.

New rule?

Exactly.

What Acosta was doing, however, was rude and obnoxious.

And the amazing thing is that Trump wasn't for a change.
I was impressed at how long he put up with it and how he handled the situation.
Of course, if you watch CNN, MSNBC, or MSM all they show is the very end of the confrontation.
Another fine example of how those POS news services spins and distort the truth in what they present.
I assume from @BrownArmy posts that he has never seen the full confrontation and is unaware of the extent of Acosta's disrespect to the Office of the President.

Acosta was simply asking a valid question.

Trump is such a snowflake...

Maybe ignorance isn't your issue.
Carry on.

Except that's not what Acosta was doing. Acosta was grandstanding and making a speech. He's not there to argue with the President, he's there to ask questions. I'm all for tough questions. Acosta was being an arrogant jerk and trying to hide behind his press pass.

Keep in mind that these lefties on here only watch CNN, MSNBC, and the MSM.
These political pundit sources have only been showing the clip from the point of the intern trying to get the microphone.
Only watching or reading either leftist or rightist political pundit sources automatically makes you 'ignorant'

accosta was trying to create a scene to increase his following on twitter.

Trump has actually countered this press strategy effectively . he has eliminated most press conferences . instead he meets with the press pool when he is boarding a waiting helicopter.
under those conditions you can rarely hear the press grandstand just hear trump answer the questions. Its actually made for a much more civil exchange with the press. with some exceptions of course.

the true elitist snobs of the us can be found in the ranks of journalism. when you watch them enough you clearly get an attitude as if these pencil whippers think they were elected to some office higher in stature then the presidency. you can ask tough questions and still show respect to our leaders. The choice to do so is selectively applied depending on their personal bias.

I heard the entire press conference on the radio and watched the Acosta clip later.

Why didn’t Trump just answer the question?

Wow!

I watched live, and didn’t see it that way at all.

It was all preplanned.
