Journalist?
A good journalist?
He's a reporter with a grudge to grind acting as a puppet from what CNN determines will be their agenda for the day.

My mistake.
When I wore a younger man's clothes, we differentiated between reporters and journalists.
The former were parrots, the latter showed more depth of thought reflection.
It's not cool to do that any more in an age when anything goes.

Of course that’s **gasp** unconstitutional.

Bullied?
They filed a lawsuit invoking the 1st and 5th amendment.
A trump appointed judge saw fit to issue a TRO based upon the 5th (due process)
That’s not a bully. That the constitution.
I know you want to give trump the right to reject any reporter he does not like arbitrarily.
The DOJ lawyers were smacked down on that in the TRO hearing.

I said that there are a lot of people that think so.
You don't think that there are a ton of people in this country who think that Acosta is doing a great job covering The Donald?
O'Reilly is as big a hack and egotistical blowhard as Acosta.
I can't think of a single cable "reporter" on either side who is worth watching. Chris Matthews used to be good on his weekly NBC show. That was before his moonbat epiphany or lobotomy or whatever happened to him.

Tapper was respectable in his old slot.
Shep is alright.
Cavuto runs a program but I've always liked him as well.

All Sarah has to do from now on is NEVER call on the Acoster for another question.
Try to sue for that!

She should look his way, point her finger in his direction as if calling on his question, then turning her finger quickly towards another reporter and take his or her question. This should happen four or five times per presser. If Acosta persists at the end of a presser she should smirk at him, then playfully karate chop her left arm and walk off.

If he travels with the press corp, I would definitely kick him off Air Force 1.

I don't get that like at all. Fly none of them, let local news handle coverage.

Be careful about suggesting that gesture to Sarah; the meaning of which could be misconstrued...and surely would be!

Or, at least require the networks to pay for their seats and equipment transportation. Are they not privately owned, as opposed to government, entities, anyway?
