If this type of disgraceful display from the media continues, the President and his Press Secretary should no longer conduct news conferences. What happened this week should never be allowed to happen again.
The President’s first post midterm election news conference was a rowdy spectacle at the White House. It was an 87-minute marathon with almost universally hostile questions from liberal reporters and combative answers from the President.
The entire episode exposed the horrible relationship that exists between the mostly liberal media and President Trump. This type of craziness would have never happened during the Obama presidency. Of course, the media did not ask tough questions to President Obama and gave him the type of respect that President Trump never receives. During the Obama years, the media acted like obedient lap dogs, but, in this administration, they have transformed into rabid attack dogs.
“rabid attack dogs.”
Is a much nicer description than most of us would give them.
It’s worrisome that people who are crazy with hatred are allowed to get so close to our President.
I have never seen such a hostile press conference. Unbelievable. Trump was attacked and I’m glad Acosta got his credentials revoked.
Revoke ONE MORE press card, and the rest of the gaggle will get the idea...
More like yappy little puppies.
[[the President and his Press Secretary should no longer conduct news conferences.]]
Nonsense- they should NOT be bullied into silence by the left- simply ban anyone that doesn’t play by the rules, that’s all=- If they don’t like the rules, too bad
[[This type of craziness would have never happened during the Obama presidency. Of course, the media did not ask tough questions to President Obama and gave him the type of respect that President Trump never receives.]]
And still he whined about being treated terrible- If he had had a person like jim accosta- you think for one minute he wouldn’t have banned him?
Raise your hand for one question and no follow-ups.
Agreed. Very worrisome.
I thought Trump was going to go after him. Looks like he was headed that way but checked himself.......
Agreed...would have been a dumb move...needs to stay ‘above’ the scrum.
Get some big, burly ex-Special Forces guys as interns then lets see a reporter refuse to give up the microphone.
I’d like to see them move the press corps to a different location on the White House grounds and simply deliver printed press releases once or twice a day, then grant personal interviews only to those who have learned how to behave.
Baloney.
President Trump was simply dealing with his own frustration by walking away from the microphone.
Yes, it looked like it. But the instant POTUS stepped away from the lectern, Acoster quickly almost tossed the mic to the intern, and the “battle” was over.

Acosta dindonuffin.
If the ban is permanent he will be replaced by something just as biased and bad.
