TIME TO REIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS
Canada Free Press ^ | 11/18/18 | Jeff Crouere

Posted on 11/18/2018 7:39:44 AM PST by Sean_Anthony

It is disgraceful enough for CNN and other networks to allow such bad behavior on their airwaves, but the President and his Press Secretary have a right to prevent it from occurring during their news conferences

In the aftermath of U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly’s ruling that reinstated the White House press pass of CNN’s Jim Acosta, the President outlined some overdue changes that will be implemented. Hereafter, the White House will be “writing up rules and regulations,” according to the President. He also predicted that “if they don’t listen to the rules and regulations, we’ll end up back in court, and we’ll win.”

This is necessary after the grandstanding Acosta made a mockery of the President’s post mid-term election news conference. It was another example of Acosta’s bad behavior. After asking several questions, the President tried to move on to another reporter. Incredibly, Acosta refused to relinquish the microphone to the intern who was trying to allow another reporter to ask a question.

Wallis made an a** of himself when talking down to the President. Wallis'....but you said....was NOT what the President said...

Wallis was anti-Trump in this interview and the President was so very open.

Wallis has an attitude problem.

Kick them to the curb just outside the fence at the WH.

Use a guillotine.
Faster, but not as neat.
However, the treatment tends to last.

And as a side benefit, it raises the nation’s IQ.

YUP !!

Cold, rain, it doesn’t matter- that is where they stay.

Set up a large screen-—with Sarah on SKYPE & without any questions back to Sarah.

She makes her statements & then everything is shut down.

Many of the ‘reporters’ in that room need to be given this for a Christmas Present:

“Everything I Ever Needed To Know, I Learned In Kindergarten”. Signed by President Trump, Pence & Sarah Huckabee.....Christmas 2018.......

Sit down! Sit down! Is that all! The President should have security taken this ars by the arms and escorted out. Then Trump should have acted like a tough President and warned the rest of the press staff any further grandstanding will not be tolerated.

You or I would have inclined to that, or something similar. President Trump actually likes to fight the reporters, or he would put the kibosh on the whole circus.

And to “rain” them out. There is no requirement to have a press room.

I suggest the Press Secretary (and the President) to hold press conferences from a podium set up at the top of the stairs to the White House. There will be no chairs so each presstitute must stand. There should be no regularly scheduled press conferences.

Press conferences should ONLY be called in inclement weather. The only bone to the boners in the press corps will be to allow them to have umbrellas and to wear rain/snow gear.

Why can’t the President simply issue news-tweets throughout the day to inform the public of what’s happening?

The term “media” was coined when it was necessary to have a middle-man between newsmakers like the President and the public who wanted to know the news.

Thanks to technology, the news media is no longer necessary. Reporters like Jim Acosta are like the horse and buggy makers following the invention of the automobile. Soon they will go out of business.

Give ‘em numbered paddles like in the auction houses. Wanna ask a question? Raise your paddle, otherwise shut up.

It is a legal obscenity that any judge would honor this farce.
