President Trump should have taken a page from Barack Obama’s playbook when he faced White House reporters at the press conference that CNN’s grandstanding Jim Acosta hijacked.

profession?
he is a traitor and fiction writer.
We all know Acosta types who crave attention. This is the kid who disrupted the class, causing resentment by everyone who wanted to learn something.
Local political radio played audio of Acosta when Obama was POTUS, pretty sickening. IOM this whole Acosta getting kicked out was a plan by cnn. He went out of his way to do it now they have an ongoing story. Ted Koppel was right, without DJT cnn ratings would be in the dumper....and they know it.

SPEECH is “the spoken word” & PRESS is “the published word”....which is the simple definition never made by our esteemed high court judges. The Constitution does not protect thoughts because it doesn’t have to, because government cannot read your mind.,...and only knows what you think by what you say or what you write.
Both speech & press are individual rights, but people such as Acosta think the Constitution created a special group right for people who claim to be members of “the press”. .....a sort of white group privilege. Meanwhile the press has used its illicit group power in conflict of interest to limit the influence of freedom of the Church...and corporations, which pay taxes that individuals do....but don’t get to vote in elections like individuals do. That’s one reason why Trump’s tax reform should have completely eliminated the corporate income tax...which the Supreme Court defined as an “exise” tax ie a consumption tax...but one that taxes exports, but not imports. It should be the other way around. A VAT would tax imports but not exports. The fake news never covers any issue honestly or fairly.
“...Trump took 68 questions from 35 reporters for an hour and a half.”
“Why...why...(splutter!)...that’s just a deprivation of freedom of the press...our first amendment rights! TRUMP IS HITLER!”
Not only that but he’s a disgrace to his family. His parents obviously couldn’t be bothered with teaching him the basics about how to be a good person.
"The Acoster" is a commentator/columnist since he gives his opinions and more because he becomes one of the people in the story. His presence changes the story by his participation. He takes sides, which is not the job of a reporter.
Since he is not a reporter, he should not be allowed at any press briefings or press conferences.
There are very few real reporters these days.
“We all know Acosta types who crave attention. This is the kid who disrupted the class, causing resentment by everyone who wanted to learn something.”
It’s the kid we took behind the ice cream shop and beat him within an inch of his life. We would tell him, once more and you will spend the holidays asking Santa for all your teeth.
“the kid who disrupted the class, causing resentment by everyone who wanted to learn something”
Back in the day we caught kids like that outside in the school yard and got their minds right.
Obama took 6 questions in 30 minutes. Each five minute speech did not answer the question but got the follow-up of “Thank you, Mr. President “. Same old press acting as defense attorney for a Dem; prosecutor for a Republican.
Trump was a Fool to call on him. Disagree with those who say oh trump likes to take people on. The best way to get back at an attention grabber is to ignore them. There were 100 other people to call on.
Too many distractions going on simultaneously.
“Too many distractions going on simultaneously.”
And I believe all planned. Something else is going on and the MSM and DNC want to keep Trump occupied on the little stuff. I am betting they are waiting on Mueller to make his move then we will see the big pivot.
You are very correct. The FTC should designate that difference for network’s classification of programming. The View is a morning program and nobody would confer Newsroom status upon or call it a Morning News Program, however, all the Network News Programs are in essence the same as “The View”.
Yes I think you are right.
"Overload the system," part of the "Cloward–Piven strategy". (Look it up if it is new to you.) They suggested that leftists overload the welfare system, which would then be replaced with a system of guaranteed annual income.
This is same thing the leftists are doing with overloading our immigration system and our borders. The leftist solution would to replace them with a system of no borders and guaranteed citizenship for anyone who wants it.
Happily, the "Trump system" has decreased welfare, which ticks off the leftists. Now we need to get the "Trump system" going for immigration and borders and really tick them off.
Obama shunned Fox at press conferences. Trump should do that with CNN imo.
Acosta should simply be barred for life.
Exactly, there are plenty of people to call on in the room. So called reporters who feel they want to ask questions can submit them and request a meeting with the press secretary - no need to grandstand on TV. Acosta should be permanently banned. He's a distraction.
