Re: Winning
 

Jim Acosta is not possible to be civil with. He is a rude piece of shit. He was so nice to the aide trying to do her job. Don't get why they even allow him in. Tell CNN to send someone else.

Media gets free pass to be as combative as possible, then everyone blames Trump for responding angrily. He could and should respond better, but shouldn't the press have an expectation to be professional?

Re: Winning
 

It’s not just Acosta he has a problem with. He has a problem with anyone who asks him a question he doesn’t like.

Hard questions are hard man

Re: Winning
 

If I didn't know any better I'd swear Trump is the first president in history to have to work with a hostile press corps.

I know, I know, Obama only had to put up with Fox News, Trump has to put up with everyone that isn't Fox News. Apples and oranges.

Re: Winning
 

Acosta has been a piece of trash reporter and CNN should have pulled him long ago.

Yes Matty, Trump is President and CNN forgot long ago that that means that a hella lot of citizens voted for him and both he and the position deserve a modicum of respect. Last i checked CNN Acosta, et al are not elected by anyone and their ratings arent worthy of having a standing pass if they can't respect the office regardless of the man

I am glad that the White House finally suspended his accreditation. Been too long deserved.

Amazed that anyone can call a journalist asking questions a rude piece of shit, and the single most divisive pot stirring loudmouth angry rude name calling schmuck in American history a victim.

Re: Winning
 

You all are ridiculous. Acosta was way over the line AS HE HAS BEEN.

Trump talked with the press for 90 minutes. I assume he answered a lot of questions including the basic comments abouts sessions his cabinet russia etc, but Acosta goes beyond the pale to the point of making an intern have to try and grab for a mike because he wants to be whatever.

Other reporters clearly asked a lot of various questions in 90 minutes and CNN's reporter goes fucking loony and Trump tries to be civil ( watch it before you mock) and Acosta acts like a spoiled self righteous brat

Like i said they should have pulled his credentials (not CNNs) long ago

You assume because you didn’t actually watch or listen? That would explain the fact that you do not realize how absolutely absurd you sound painting Acosta as the bully and Trump as the victim. Just stop dude.
Stick to policy. Because when you start arguing about civility and respect and self righteous spoiled brats you are going to lose. Bad.

Re: Winning
 

Its nothing to do with him being the victim. Its that you have no problem with Acosta's behavior and tone but are then absolutely appalled when Trump responds in kind. And this is not a one time event. This is Acosta's shtick.

In general, Trump needs to respond more calmly. But I can't blame him in how he deals with Acosta.

Look bottomline is Trump isnt going to come out and say " whoaaa. Ya got me* i am reminded of a few good men when demi moore gets up and strenuously obects, and the other actor asks oh is that how it works i object overruled ... i strenuously object oh my god your right. No you object once to make the point, doing it more makes it look like your afraid.

I dont care if they ask trump the hard questions, they should but acting butt hurt when he moves on and not giving up the mike makes them look like idiots too.

[QUOTE=punch it in;1206248]Doesn’t fit Creds agenda. Lol. His master has taught him well.....[/QUOTE][YT]7bSMiSTdthE[/YT]Here is the question/response from youtube. He was respectful (to a far more degree then acosta was) but he called the question racist, i would say it was more race-baiting or race-loaded then racist but - he did answer the question - he was referring to himself as a nationalist(proud to be an american type of thing) vs a globalist not some supposed dog whistle of white nationalism - but again the question presupposes that he is a racist and was signalling others.

It is a race baiting question, because it has been asked and answered and the simple purpose of asking is to keep alive the implication that he is a racist.

White nationalist or aryan pride type idiots are follower of the national SOCIALIST parties that are nothing at all similar to being a nationalist

Look, if you’re going to use that term you should be able to calmly and respectfully explain your position. Acting annoyed with the question and straight up dismissing it as racist was a total cop out.

Or maybe journalists could stop assuming evil intent and help our nation heal by looking to positive reasons ie nationalism vs globalism instead the halcyon cry of racism.

Maybe when nearly half the country sees it a way other than they do and they want to be seen as helpers not haters they can report the more likely/less sinister motives of the general base and not try to exacerbate the division.

All the main politicians today ON both sides and including Trump laid out places where the parties can and likely will work together, and after as divisive a race as we just had on both sides thats a great thing, maybe the press could have followed suit for a day or two. Maybe.

You don't get it, their job is to ask the questions and stop all "assumption"! When the person in charge can not handle the question and in turn attacks the interviewer there can be nothing more than assuming or assumption of lying or wrong doing and that is never for the good.

The irony and hypocrisy is just tremendous. Bravo! The biggest bully in the world is Trump and you clowns have a problem with Jim Acosta’s tone? The liberals are all snowflakes who need safe spaces to cry in but Trump is literally forming a safe space to hold his press conferences where nobody will dare challenge him or ask him questions he doesn’t want to answer? Bravo! You have all officially created an opposite world for your rhetoric where you can dish it out without taking it. Bratty little rotten kids all over the world applaud you.

This whole nationalism debate reminds me of the porch monkey thing from Clerks 2. The problem is you are trying to rebrand nationalism as "putting America first" whereas nationalism has already been co-opted by actual racist organizations as their rallying cry. Come up with your own term that racists aren't using and you won't have this issue.

Also if you don't catch the reference, take a wild guess who you are in this scenario:

Which is not surprising because in the age of social media people these days are allowed to take a tweet, post, comment, etc. and skew it, take it out of context, invent their own context, etc.

Critical thinking isn't a value of this medium. It also has allowed a bullying, mob mentality where personal freedom, freedom of speech is not valued.

Its very interesting...I find it ironic in many cases where those who rightfully call for the ending of discrimination would also call for the right to discriminate against thought/idea they disagree with. You want diversity, but not the diversity of ideas.
