Jim Acosta violated one of the oldest rules of journalism

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.

That a$$hat was REALLY lucky.

>>Ask them to sit down one time and if they don’t, have security escort them out. If they are going to act like 5 year olds, then they need to be treated as such.<<

Had I been Trump, I would have simply announced to the Press Corps that no further questions would be taken until Mr. Acosta relinquished the microphone and sat his ass down. In a moment or two other journalists would have turned on Acosta for disrupting the Conference.

These rats know that a very large percentage of the public will believe damn near anything if presented convincingly enough.
