I'm just reading your own words in your own post, which for all other people speak for what they're thinking... or are your posts just rambling nonsensical statements strung together in an illogical rant?

CNN is not the enemy of the people. They are the enemy of Trump, but not the people. Jim Acosta is an unprofessional shill for anyone and anything anti-Republican, as are his employers at CNN. They aren't just anti-everything-Trump, no matter the truth, although they have jumped that shark as well.

That's sad to me. CNN used to be an extremely professional organization, that is, until Jeff Zucker took over in 2013 and turned CNN into a media outlet that is more concerned with taking down the Republican Party than they are about reporting the whole truth.

I used to think they were pro-Democrat, I don't think that anymore. I think they are anti-Republican and if anyone, including a Democrat, does anything that helps the GOP or moves a GOP position forward, they attack them as hard as they do the GOP itself.

Like I said, it's sad.

What Acosta did deserves for him to lose his WH credentials.

The issues between Trump and CNN began when CNN started calling him out every time Trump said stupid s*it, did stupid s*it and looked like a stupid s*it. Trump doesn't like CNN because to him it's like looking into a mirror and seeing his own soul and he just can't accept that.

Jim Acosta is banned from the WH...

He's no victim and brought it all on himself.
Long overdue... and today was the final straw when he decided to spar with the president instead of asking Trump a question, and reporting his answer like journalists with integrity do.

The US Secret Service just asked for my credential to enter the WH. As I told the officer, I don’t blame him. I know he’s just doing his job.

All I can say is why did it take so long? This is well deserved! Heads are exploding at CNN tonight.

No CNN started going after him when he announced he was running for president. Now it's nothing but a 7/24 pissing
about President Trump. CNN has been a active participant trying to do anything to damage this administration and everyone here
knows that fact.

I don't care, nor do I feel that we should be the recipients of what is the equivalent to pissed off pre-K kids that like to throw sand at each other on the playground at recess.

Trump was elected to be POTUS, and the Constitution gives him the position of POTUS given that election.

CNN is protected by the First Amendment to say whatever the **** they want, without any way to stop them.

Neither are acting like they deserve the prestige nor are respectful of the responsibility to decorum that goes with their positions and power under the Constitution.

CNN doesn't show any respect for the office of POTUS. Acosta took it too far and is now paying the price. His First Amendment protections do not guarantee him a seat in the font row, or even in the room. He can report on what he hears and sees from the pool reporters like all the other thousands of members of the press that are NOT in the room in the White House in front of the POTUS that he completely disrespected both the place and the office.

Yeah, yeah, I know Trump disrespects the office as well and you can find many posts from me complaining about him and his disrespect for the office, but this thread is about Acosta and CNN.

She touched him first, though both hers and his contact was nothing. The fact he didn’t yield the microphone to other people with questions after Trump addressed him is sufficient reason to suspend his credentials.

Trump does a pretty damn good job of destroying his administration 7/24 himself. Why do you think he woke up to find he now is going to have to deal with a blue house?
 
Re: Jim Acosta

Here is the full exchange. I initially thought Trump just cut him off from some of the clips I saw but he addressed Acosta’s questions several times. No, I didn’t like Trump’s answers either and no it isn’t an invasion but Acosta got the answers he was going to get. It was other reporters’ turn to ask questions.

 
Re: Jim Acosta

HumblePi said:
People believe that he was only rude to Jim Acosta but he treated every single one of the press reporters giving him questions, rudely, abruptly and very antagonistically. I saw the entire press conference, he was combative, angry and obviously in a very bad mood after losing the House in the election yesterday.
Click to expand...

Jim Acosta was asking about the pipe bombs sent to the CNN office and Trump replied, "When you report fake news, you are the enemy of the people." Trump is essentially indicating he thinks CNN deserved to have bombs sent to it.

He's that out in the open with his hatred of a free press and authoritarian bull****.
 
Re: Jim Acosta

Remember this........


Gorham, New Hampshire (CNN)Hillary Clinton's campaign used a rope to keep journalists away from the candidate on Saturday while she walked in this small town's July Fourth parade.
The ensuing photos of journalists, including a CNN reporter, being somewhat dragged by a thin white rope as Clinton walked down Main Street caught fire online.

And thank God we have a free press that's been trying to save our country from this heinous creature that is in no way qualified to be president of this country.

Lots of other people refused to yield. Why aren't they all suspended?

Because Trump is obsessed with Acosta ... and because Trump needed to take control of the news so that it would be about him in a way that he thinks makes himself look big, instead of being about the hit Republicans took yesterday.

Your only claim is that other reporters laughed? No, I believe you also claimed he got his "comeuppance." I saw one woman smile at Trump's comment (nobody laughed), and you somehow turned that into his "comeuppance." I also remember you calling Kamala Harris a "rude, interrupting bitching" because she was asking Jeff Sessions questions during his hearing. Maybe you're just succumbing to tribalism and you don't like people questioning or criticizing member of your tribe.

And for the record, Cardinal, I'm critical of the media because I'm a former journalist myself and did take Journo 101--you know, about ethics, reporting fairly without editorializing, and not making yourself the story or part of the story.

Your history as a former journalist doesn't entitle you to an alternate reality of what happened.

I must have missed that. Kind of funny. I guess they didn’t give much thought to the optics of that.

Why hasn't he acted presidential? He's supposed to be the grownup in the room the one that sets the example, the one that's bigger and has more pride. But no, he's like a 7 year old who just had his Pop-Tart stolen from him. He's pissed off and aggressively antagonistic and rude to the press, to ALL of them. Remember his campaign words "I'm going to be so Presidential, you'll see". Yeah? When? We're still waiting 2 years later. A person has to GIVE respect before they can expect to get respect. He missed that life lesson I guess.
