Not sharing the mic is a violation of rules, CNN can send another clown to the WH.


Nope


Why do you think Acosta could hog the mic?


Do you think hogging the mic is a valid reason to violate the first amendment?

This is such a clear cut case. the court will without a doubt force the White House to return the credentials within 24 hours.

Here's the footage.  Trump and SHS lied through their teeth, as usual. 

https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1060224132351168512



Jim Acosta has become an aggressive, intoxicated bully who doesn't respect the tradition of decorum in the White House Press room. He is also almost always belligerently interrupting and acting rudely towards his colleagues and more specifically Sarah Sanders and President Trump. Why he acts the way he does is a reasonable discussion, but the  White House has had enough of his antics and were finally gifted a reason to revoke his privileges. He has no one to blame but himself. This is not an attack on the press, this has been a long time coming for Jim Acosta who got too comfortable with his bravado and lost his cool. In short, fuck Jim Acosta.

CNN doubling down and claiming the WH doctored the video like it's some fucking conspiracy. I see no differences besides the resolutions in the videos they compare. Each time Acosta assertively withheld the microphone from the intern. Interpret the video however you like the truth remains that Jim Acosta was having a moment and didn't want to be interrupted so he didn't allow some bimbo snatch the mic from him. He's an asshole, get over it.

lol trump supporters don’t get to complain about civility and decorum.

The snowflake president and his sleet pellet supporters are stoking violence on a daily basis... pipe bombs, mass shootings, hate crimes up 70% but you go all southern belle when someone holds a microphone too long. Get the fuck out. This shit is ridiculous.

I’m not gonna watch infowars try to explain how obviously doctored video wasn’t doctored. for all we know, they undoctored the doctored video in their explanation video, which is a doctored video of an undoctored doctored video.

Lol that British snot who works there made a video a while back trying to convince everyone that he didn’t call a 12 year old girl “young man” when he clearly did. That these people actually manage to convince their viewers that what they hear and see is wrong is an amazing phenomenon.

I don't support Trump's attitude towards the press. Notice I said, a reasonable debate would be why Acosta feels the need to "act like Trump."

You're ridiculous and a terrible person.

That's pretty much right.  He was trying to be a journalist and not a stenographer who kisses the fuhrer's ass.  It's pretty rare that happens in America, so I guess that's why some of you are confused about it.

Jim Acosta did nothing wrong, and in fact demonstrated tendencies that best belong in a democratic society, not a qusi-fascist one like America, where the fuhrer getting impatient and all in a huff is reason to demand a reporter to back down from a question.

I am not saying you are wrong, however I feel that Acosta was not merely asking questions.  He seemed to want to debate Trump.  Of course, wanting to debate the president is not wrong in and of itself, but we need to keep in mind that there were other reporters in the conference, and they should have been able to have time to ask Trump questions too.

You do realize In a room full of reporters that they ALL want the opportunity to ask a question and there's limited time to do so?

And only a certain percentage of the overall reporters even get a chance to ask a question?

So why should just ONE reporter hog the mic and REFUSE to give it up?  It's completely disrespectful to the whole room.

Acosta is a scum bag who didn't follow the rules. Let CNN send another moron.

REPORTERS GET TWO QUESTIONS. Trump wouldn’t let him ask his second question.

Fair enough.  If that's the case, people still need to prove that Trump, by refusing to let Acosta ask his second question, is infringing on his first amendment rights.  I mean, Acosta WAS allowed to ask one question, was he not?

Also, some people believe that Acosta was not being a journalist.  He was essentially stating his opinion on Trump and in so doing, he turned into an editorialist instead of a true journalist.  And if he was not a journalist, then he should get kicked out.
