I like it! Modern version of the vaudeville hook.
Happy for these rules, but here is what’s going to happen:
The whole WH press pool is going to start acting like a CARTEL.
“Kisshya-kai”, in Japanese that means “press pool”. In Japan each press group covering a gummint ministry works out AHEAD OF TIME who is going to ask what. So that “there is order”.
The effect, of course, is that their press conferences have all the spontaneity of high mass at St. Anthony’s.
There are a jillion ways Japan is great, but this is not one of them, the gummint/press relationship is supposed to be at least a little adversarial, not super chummy (they have the opposite problem as the USA does).
I think the WH press pool considers Acosta’s conversial nature a boon to all of them, and they’ll somehow collude to make sure there are exactly the same headaches as before.
I think this WH move is overdue, but I think the pool will react by jettisoning the last remnants of inter-entity competition:
They will act more like a cartel now.
(1) A journalist called upon to ask a question will ask a single question and then will yield the floor to other journalists;
...
And it needs to be clear that they are to be questions, not challenges or debates.
And please stop putting the camera on them.
The NFL uses a big parabolic mic to capture distant player noises:
Why use a handheld mic AT ALL..?
Why can’t Trump call on indiv presstitutes, with a nearby aid then pointing the parabolic mic at IT’s mouth..?
Presto, no more need to wrench back a microphone, faster change-over.
LOL. Jim Acosta and the myopic CNN court gambit will come back to bite them. The so-called press should be proud of their village idiot.
Force violators to complete 40 hours of sensitivity training if they abuse the staff and 10 hours of approved community service - BEFORE they get their press pass returned.
Force a public apology for creating disorder.
Three strikes and they are blackballed forever.
THIS!
4) Questions will be asked as a question without extemporaneous accusations or explanations.
5) Journalists shall, at all times maintain a level of professional ethics commensurate with a fair, balanced and unbiased media.
I’m betting CNN ASScosta breaks the rules.................
I doubt he’ll change. Next time he offends, boot him and ban him for life.
Acosta knows what the rules are. If he breaks them again, its all on him.
How about a Laser Pointer?.........................attached to 45.......................
It is kind of like a restrictive dress code at work in places that deal with the public.
Companies would prefer to treat their employees as adults and let them decide what is appropriate, but there is a segment of the workforce in nearly every company that ruins it for normal people because they have to push the limit. They come in wearing blue jeans with holes in them, tank tops, you name it.
Then the company is forced to have management come up with a dress code, with a path to dismissal for repeated non-compliance, and managers have to monitor it, write things up, discipline or fire people, put ANOTHER layer of bureaucracy in place simply because some people just cannot be adults.
Like the Media. They have to be treated like children, with strict guidelines and rules because they have no conception of professional conduct (with some exceptions, and this does not apply to them)
Screw them. Screw every one of the filthy leftist jerks.
Above all....
Remember that you are REPORTERS and JOURNALISTS. You are in the White House to ask legitimate questions. You are not there to represent the Democrat Party, or push their talking points or agenda.
I usually go naked.
I think that is a great idea!
LOL, when you are “Lazamataz, Inc.” you get to rule!
After a good tasing, of course. With a stream of pepper spray into the eyes. Then two Secret Service agents to grab them by each arm and escort them out of the press room, where they can throw them roughly to the ground.
and lower the jabbering nitwit into waiting security at back of the room.
. . . .
and then apply 440v to the cable.
AKA, The Acosta Rules!
