If you were running the Press Conference would you have reporters walking around the room passing the microphone to one another instead of having that staffer do it? What a lark that would be.

Donald Trump should hold the daily Press briefings and Conferences himself, not Sarah, if I have a say.
Trump should also reinstate Jim Acosta, the Anchor Baby of the media, and give him the courtesy to ask the very first question.
Trump will answer him, and after a few more stupid questions Trump will wipe the floor with this idiot, once again exposing Acosta and the media for the frauds they are.

What an obstreperous piece of work that Jim Acosta(er). Make it all about yourself by intentionally grandstanding at a White House Press briefing. The maneuver was totally classless and his being suspended from such press briefings completely justified. It is supposed to be a privilege to be a part of such an event, not a right.

And the left thinks it's simply some sort of open forum where opinions of the media matter. Some people just don't get it.

An interesting take on the role of a free press.

Is a single "reporter/journalist" supposed to control an entire press briefing involving the Potus is a more appropriate question to ask.

It is free - no one stops them from reporting what they want.
FREE doesn't mean he can be a total jerk and not get thrown out.
Other reporters are still there and I am sure CNN has no shortage of lying leftist woman beaters they can replace him with.
Does anyone think anymore?

Come off it.
Free press refers to uncensored publishing rights.

And it has nothing to with providing access to the WH and the president. THAT is 100% optional. In the old days, real reporters actually went out and investigated stories. Not like today's gossip hound excuses for reporters.
