(16,646 posts)Every reporter should have at least one question Acosta wanted asked. Somewhere in the exchange it is let known that the question was from Acosta.
Stop feeding the beast!
In my utopia, all reporters would simply sit quietly, or not show up at all. Take away the RatBastard's need and feed for attention and confrontation to feel manly.
Less than 24 hours of " No Trump Chasing" would drive him crazy.

(13,568 posts)The exercise of the press asking questions of the president is the exercise and protection of our right as citizens to QUESTION our president, as protected by the Constitution.
That's why they must show up every day, every day, to maintain that right.
He would glory in only RW sycophant reporters. He would claim to have vanquished the media.
Those reporters stand between the people and tyranny. It's that stark.
Notice that I posted that they could sit quietly OR not show up?
I fully understand their responsibilities Grasswire, in fact, I have always agreed with 95% of your post here. And acted accordingly.
Now, for the sake of discussion, if I am to believe that reporters stand between tyranny and the people, especially the majority of reporters during this episode in our history. Then, this country is in sorry shape. This group not only has sat back as a general rule and allowed him to spew his garbage since day 1, THIS GROUP publicly,constantly, and with daily "reports", BUILT this abomination during the campaign for free.
I will finish by saying that nothing or no one stands between the people and tyranny, the only thing that can end tyranny, imho, are the people who are tired, and expect no one to stand between them and the tyrant.

Sometimes, speaking out works better (bumper sticker versus bumper sticker)...

(39,405 posts)Do you expect Mueller to indict you for tax evasion, money laundering for the mob, or welching on your debts to small contractors?
Another question for the White House press corps to ask Trump: should there be an investigation of your sex life & abuse of women like the one conducted on Bill Clinton?
