Fecal matter now hitting the fan
Let me get this straight. She was pool reporter at a meet between potus and an EU bigwig......but she asked questions about Putin and a Playboy bunny?
The press has always, under every administration, asked questions unrelated to the event at these availabilities.
Add to that the fact that Trump has a history of responding to these unrelated questions and it's hard to argue the pool reporter was out of line.
I couldn’t agree more, that would be most appropriate.
But it’s turning into a free for all. They’ve become not reporters but paparazzi trying to get a startled look so they can put it on the nightly news and then talk about it for 45 minutes. There’s no dignity anymore. I’m tired of it.
Because Baire is a bloated, phony, discredited blob of s**t.
“Let me get this straight. She was pool reporter at a meet between potus and an EU bigwig......but she asked questions about Putin and a Playboy bunny?”
Another classic example of “I got you fake news!”
She will wear it as a badge of honor instead of the mark of shame.
I saw Bret Baier stand behind CNN on Special Report. I need to research alternatives to cable as I’m sick of supporting cable news with my monthly bill.
Trump tweets, she can tweet.
Brett Bair from FOX is defending her on Twitter. Jackwagon...
Trump doesn’t have to take any questions from the press at all. There’s zero requirement for that.
Nor does he need to allow everyone who wants to to join in his event where he does take questions.
These are privileges. They could retaliate against this with bad coverage, but there’s no way they could cover him with more hostility than they already do, so that would make no difference whatsoever.
These are called “consequences”. And they’re pretty light consequences - Jim Acosta for one should be in jail, as should Donna Brazile.
Remember when no one yelled questions at Obama? They were called on to ask their “question” then Obama took 20 minutes not answering it? Remember when Fox News was constantly not invited? Remember when one guy did yell a question ticking off Obama and was then chased down the street by other reporters shouting at him?

>>Gahanna Bob<< - - Do a couple searches on “Kodi” Then do a couple more searches on “kodi builds”...Then do a search on “DUREX KODI” and watch a video on it. Saved me over $150 a month and I have way more than Comcast / Xfinity ever delivered.
Cut the cord in 2016 - and never looked back.
Certainly true.
Nor does he need to allow everyone who wants to to join in his event where he does take questions.
Also true, but in this case the reporter was the only one there - as a pool reporter representing all of the news organizations.
Better put some ice on it, Kaitlan. (To paraphrase Slick Willie.)
If those are the kind of questions the pool is serving up at a trade summit photo-op, then the pool is not needed at all.
Go to the video and listen to her “questions” (really: propaganda and accusations) in context.
She wasn’t merely asking questions; she was attempting to disrupt the event, just as Jim Acosta did at the NK summit.
She should have been hauled out by security at that very moment and given a black eye in the process.
Depending on the venue, it is their right (this includes both sides).
This was not a free for all venue with the questions open to any subject.
There is a time and a place for everything.
