Simple solution, put someone else in Acosta's place. Why is that so hard?


That's not the point. Should POTUS get to approve every question and every questioner?

I completely agree. I also believe that you can only act out like a spoiled child and interrupt the time of everyone in attendance so many times before you get your privileges revoked.

If Jim Acosta hadn't acted like such an arse, repeatedly, he wouldn't be in this situation.

Jim Acosta isn't the only person who throws hardball questions at the President or Sarah, but he is the only one who behaves like a jackass.

It's not. Acosta's pass hasn't been revoked.

We remember 2008-2016 too. Ole Jimmy's network was a chief cheerleader for Obama.

Also, ACOSTA'S PRESS PASS WAS NOT REVOKED.

No, but that doesn't give anyone with a press pass carte blanche to make a scene. There's a line, Jim crossed it.

Acosta wasn't suspended because of his questioning. He's had far stupider questions. He was suspended for putting his hands on a WH aide. That's cool with you?

According to these morons, because he’s not part of the political class, Trump should be subject to a whole different set of rules than past Presidents.

OF COURSE this issue is about left vs right, 2 years ago when Obama had a reporter he didn't like put under surveillance and investigated for a crime, you morons didn't utter a fricking word. Nor did you care when Obama attempted to ban an ENTIRE NETWORK from press conferencs. Not a word said when Obama accused a reporter of a crime. Because why? Because Obama was on the left, that's why.

You idiots are COMPLETELY transparent, and you put yourself into this position EVERY TIME because yall have no principles, none. You shift with the sand, things that are okay when the left does them are suddenly not okay when the right does them and so on ans so forth.

Is it a good idea for POTUS to only allow Pink Lady into the press room? If your answer is "NO", then we should at the very least be able to come to some agreement that there should be more defined laws about who gets to cover press conferences. Because press conferences where questions and reporters are pre-approved aren't really press conferences. They're propaganda rallies.





The Secret Service should absolutely have the right to decide who does and does not have a right to enter the White House, the Secret Service works for the President. The VERY court case you have championed in this thread several times recognizes that the Secret Service can control who does and does not get into the White House.

This isn't a free press issue, this is a "JA acted like a jackass and got tossed issue"

Let me ask you this you dumb motherfricker. Suppose you went to the White House and took the little tour and along the way you picked up one of the pieces that belong to the WH. Now let's assume a WH employee approached you and tried to take it from you. Let's say you jostled that employee EXACTLY as JA jostled the woman trying to get the microphone........

Under those circumstances do you think worrying about whether you had a right to be in the White House or not would be your most important worry? I guarantee you it would not be.

Jim Acosta was a victim of his own inability to maintain decorum nothing more.

Should he have to answer? Does he have to call on him? No, he did and Acosta overstepped like a petulant child. Answer me this, is he barred from the White House? Simple question and we all know the answer. I want to hear you answer it.

We should have done this at the beginning of this thread, but let's try now.

WAS JIM ACOSTA'S PRESS PASS REVOKED? Yes or no.

No one has infringed on Jim Acostas right to free speech.

He can do all his reporting from across the street. Not everyone who wants to sit in the press room gets to.

When did we jail #AccostedHer? Wasn't aware when the government arrested, tried, and jailed him for his rhetoric? Did I miss something, VictoriaSqueegie?

He did. He banned Fox news from air force one. I don't remember liberals giving a shite, much less making impassioned appeals to the first amendment.
