>>>There are laws against threatening violence against even non-journalist commoners who ask stupid questions.

Indeed. And anyone responsible for making a threat should be held accountable. It does not negate the fact that Stern’s minion is not a journalist, and should not have been in the room in the first place. The person running the press conference should not have let Stern’s minion in the door. And if he would have cause a scene about it, he could/should have been held accountable as well.

I reserve the right to yell any question I want at any politician at any time.

I don't care whether I'm deputized with the meaningless title of "journalist" or not.

I agree with you. If we're going to complain about the unprofessionalism of the press I don't know how this guy can be defended.
