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

Posted on 11/08/2018 7:34:28 AM PST by Rummyfan

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.

It really wasn’t like he slugged her or went all black belt karate.

It was the actions of a child with a toy or candy that he doesn’t want to share. He was defending his possession of what he deemed to be “his property”.

Acosta is an insufferable nitwit, and he should have been booted long before it ever got to this point. This should be a warning to other democRAT agitators posing as news reporters to be more polite.

Hopefully, his credentials have been revoked, and not merely suspended (indicating he may return).

Acosta is claiming he never touched her, didn’t push her arm.

Video evidence shows otherwise. However, the media are working overtime to cleanse the videos and edit them by cutting out parts.

It’s not like CNN has any journalistic standards.
They are well paid dim agitators.

Imagine if Acosta did something like that in a TSA line at an airport?

How would TSA at an airport deal with someone that refuses to shut up and then removes the arm of a TSA employee from him when he refuses to give back airport property?

What would the TSA do? Hmm?

On June 5, 1944 the allies were well away from Normandy. So obviously no invasion to speak of.

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

It’ll be renamed SNN after Soros buys it.

it'd been funny if Trump walked over and took the mic away from him, if the POS tried to push HIS hand away, he'd think the would fell on him
