Jim Acosta violated one of the oldest rules of journalism
NY Post ^ | 7 Nov 2018 | Michael Goodwin

By producing a split decision, the election that was supposed to end all elections turned out to be fairly predictable. But it’s the day after that was unlike any other.

The Republican president, the likely speaker of the Democrat-controlled House and the Senate’s Republican majority leader each started Wednesday by talking about working together to get things done. They talked to each other privately and talked separately in public about what they thought they could accomplish for the country.

For most Americans, that would make for a very good day. Given the overheated environment leading up to the midterms and the fear among many that we are drifting toward an era of disunion and spreading political violence, bipartisan pledges to work together for the common good were like the sudden emergence of a bright candle flickering in the wind.

Alas, it was the last thing some members of the White House press corps wanted, so they tried to snuff it out.

The conduct of a handful of so-called reporters during President Trump’s news conference was disgraceful beyond measure. This is not journalism, this is narcissism.

Chops a young woman’s arm, then LIES about it when anyone with vision could see what he did.

The Left is claiming the video was altered. Words fail.

I would throw Acosta out of the White House and ban him from the press corp.

Why does AT&T/CNN tolerate this behavior? Liberalism is a mental disorder.

There should be ONE ask to sit down and shut up, then the tasers should come out.

He should be fired from CNN, if not revoke their license.

Trump should have answered, “hundreds of miles away? And before that they were 1,000 miles away. Where do you think they’re headed, Venezuela? Sit down and shut up, Jim.”

The hate fumes in that room is a good reason to remove most of them.

——Why does AT&T/CNN tolerate this behavior-—

Interesting question as it pertains to ATT.

I can believe that there might be some word already filtered down from above for CNN types to cool it and that Acosta chose to test those dictates.

The CNN boss will probably be called on the ATT carpet and told about his future or he may just be fired. The verbal and very public CNN dressing down by the President of the United States is unprecedented and will resound in the ATT board room

ATT bought TimeWarner with the CNN rotten apple in the deal. Any profit generated by CNN, if any, is trivial in the ATT scheme of things. Do not fix, sell!

CNN will be sold if there is any one fool enough to buy it
