Trump threatens more reporters’ credentials as he slams ‘stupid’ questioning
MarketWatch ^ | 11/09/18 | Robert Schroeder

Posted on 11/09/2018 10:44:58 AM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

President Donald Trump hinted Friday he could revoke more journalists’ White House credentials, as he called one reporter a “loser” and accused another of asking a “stupid question.” Before departing for a trip to Paris, Trump was asked how long the pass of CNN’s Jim Acosta would be suspended. “I haven’t made that decision,” he replied. “But it could be others also.” Trump lashed out at two other reporters: April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks — who is also a CNN analyst — and Abby Phillip, a White House correspondent for CNN. CNN is a unit of AT&T Inc.’s T, -1.43% WarnerMedia. Unprompted, he said of Ryan: “You talk about somebody that’s a loser, she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing.”

Taking on the FAKE NEWS media is the principle reason I voted for the man - but his policies have been awesome. If only he had a congress that would have supported him just think what could have happened to the Repub party and the 2018 elections. I blame Paul Rhino for that result/

That’s all he has to do for 2 more years: call them stupid, a**holes, worthless pieces of leftwing trash etc. I am totally cool with it President Trump. :)

Constitution mentions freedom of the press. There is no mention of freedom of radio or freedom of television/cable/satellite so any of these critters that attend are there at the pleasure of the president

For our Leftist friends, a question is “stupid” in this context when it is posed to influence opinion rather than to obtain information. Compare the difference between a propagandist and a real journalist.

Shut down the White House Press Office entirely and let the other media outlets get their information from your appearances on Hannity and Lou Dobbs and Fox & Friends.

If Trump bans all of the stupid reporters than who will report the fake news?

I am generally a nice person, but would find it difficult to let someone insult me because he gave himself the right to do so. It would last just about one sentence before ending rude behavior. The President is an honored position and they are trying to humiliate him... it’s gone too long,, and Sarah has been the target also. If they think they can, Trump will fix that notion.

He is always on-message, always has his foot on the gas.

That’s part of why the media hate him so; they can’t play “gotcha” when they are two steps behind.

There is freedom of the press, but there is no freedom of access to the President.

And it’s detrimental to the job to allow reporters that routinely ask stupid questions or Gotha questions, or leading questions with false premises.

They can and should weed these people out.

They should be able to ask the hard questiions, but cap the stupid.

Gotcha questions, but I would limit Gotha or Gothic questions too, because they’re just creepy,

Every Republican is scared to death to get on the wrong side of the media. Not Trump though, he takes them on with glee. They push him, he pushes them back twice as hard.

It’s one man against a whole pack of lying ratfinks and he’s winning.

God Bless and keep you Donald J. Trump... Amen.

They probably never gave obama a hard time because his teleprompter was unable to give him the answer to give to them?6
