Although I’d have preferred that the OANN reporter, Trey, had piled on Acosta - I’ll give him a pass for trying to defuse the issue. Apparently the MSM folks, Acosta in particular, were getting the vapors and there were no fainting couches available.
Chicken Noodle News
LOLOL...I like that one!!!
Reading the transcript, the "no cameras" interruption really stands out as immature. There was pretty good back and forth with questions and answers, including a reference back to "Trump asking Russia to hack Hillary."
Q So what evidence does he have that President Obama was colluding or obstructing?MR. SPICER: Well, again, I think it comes back to this idea that they've been very clear, they've been playing this card about blaming Trump and Russia. And yet, at the same time, they were the ones who, according to this report, knew about it and didn't take any action.
So the question is, were they -- if they didn't take any action, does that make them complicit? I think that there is a lot of questions that have to get answered about who didn't know what and when.
Q Well, is there an element of hypocrisy here, Sean? Because this was President Trump on the campaign trail: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."
How can you accuse President Obama of obstructing, when he was egging Russia on?
MR. SPICER: He was joking at the time. We all know. I mean --
Q He was joking? He says that as a candidate, and he was pressed during that press conference over and over again.
MR. SPICER: I understand. And I think the idea was, is that you had Hillary Clinton with a secret server that was very clear about what she had done to evade it. And I think that that's probably a bigger concern right now in terms of what they were doing and the lack of security that they had.
So do these wonderful, honest, insightful journalists believe that Russia hacked Hillary’s server????? Her basement server? Her off the books, not available for the media to video record server? My my my.
It was all Trump’s fault Hillary’s server was hacked and all her crooked emails were leaked to the American public. I’m sure one of the spouse journalists viewed the emails and determined that Hillary had nothing to hide. That’s why they never read them on the air. And maybe one of the spouses at the FBI decided it was A OK to have a basement server.
Exactly. Reporters don't even need to be on White House grounds. It's something that grew in the television era. It was ok when reporters at least tried to be respectful of the presidency, if not whoever was president at the time. But these days most of them are open Dem partisans who also are spoiled brats accustomed to a privilege they are now demanding as a "right."
Furthermore, don't let anyone in the media convince you their role is something lofty that warrants their special privileges. Their role is the same as employees of any business...to make money for the company. Period.
“Because you’re ugly, inside and out. Next question?”
Yup.
Cnn is already lower than whale poo.
Hard for it to sink lower.

Acosta turns heckler at press briefing
by Jim Stinson - Lifezette.com
Atypical actions in press briefings? My simple answer to Acosta et al is “You started it”!
Next time Acosta starts down this path, Sean needs to just quietly say, “and this is why we can’t have nice things.” then turn around and walk out. He does that a couple times, and this will stop. Not that they won’t try other shenanigans, but hey, one thing at a time.
