Well, now all the other journalists can thank Acosta for ruining it for them.

Or maybe giving them a fair chance to do their jobs.

I suppose it depends some on who you are.

Well, if you’re going to act like children, then expect to get treated like them.

Several news outlets already are saying they WILL ask follow-up questions. I have a hunch enforcement of the one-question rule will seldom be enforced. It will be interesting to see.

It has been a while since Sanders has given one. She’s due.

Remember way back in the beginning when they were going to limit numbers and do random selection. Nooooo, we can’t have that “important” ones may not get in. So, then it was move to room across street to accommodate every one. Nooooo, we must be in the white house if we are white house press.

Nothing but a bunch of spoiled, self idolizing, brats thinking they are important.

Shut it down. Let’em stand out on the street. There is not anything of value comes from a single person in the room.

I think the ‘yield’ rule will be challenged with various tirades in the press room, and the Q and A session will be halted for five to ten minutes while the child-reporter does his tirade. After you’ve encountered five of six of these three-hour sessions...most of the press are going to be hostile to the child-reporters and the thug-like journalism will halt.

My humble guess is that Acosta won’t be able to handle this, and he’ll be dumped at least three or four times before some judge just says ‘that’s it’....you won’t get a ‘pass-card’ to return to the WH.

The journalist’s will get together prior to press conferences, and they will develop their own talking points and the same questions will get asked except they will be asked by different reporters. What the WH needs to do is put out a daily or weekly press release with the administration’s talking points. and have press conferences far fewer than we are presently witnessing.

The Pentagon, every morning gleans articles pertinent to the mission and their directives and it’s called the early bird. Maybe the White House ought to adopt a similar strategy put out an early bird and with no questions asked it would be a much smoother communication process then what we are presently witnessing.

The press is on a mission, a smear campaign, and that is the fact. In my opinion, one cannot deny the fact that the Press is very biased. Very biased to conservative politicians or conservative Administrations. Because they want to drive their own agenda, their own vision, and the vision of other Puppet Masters who they kowtow to on a daily basis.

Ha...earlier when the kids were in school...we had an expression.."I have the button" (the TV remote control) so got to speak.

Later when Mrs. Spokeshave cut the TV power cable with a pair of scissors it became "I have the mouth"

Yep - I expect they will publicly back “Acoster” but many will be venting at him for stepping over that line....

No one sitting within 6 seats of Asscosta should be acknowledged. Make him a pariah.
