    freedom of the press doesn't give the press freedom from being criticized and called out for being fake news

    All, and I do mean all, of the mainstream media is out of control with opinions and power. They are vehemently disrespectful often when they should especially know better!

    Journalism = non-existent!

    No matter what people think of "President" Trump, two wrongs don't make a right! He is the holder of the Office of the President of the United States. Regardless of how he acts, each citizen of this country owes that office some semblance of respect. The so-called "Press" don't get a pass on that. I had no love lost for the previous President, but if I had ever been in his presence I would certainly treat him with the respect the Office of the President of the United States deserves while he was holding that office.

    It is Trump who is rude and obnoxious, as he talks over journalists who are trying to ask penetrating questions that he doesn't want to address. All Trump does at his so-called press conferences is pontificate about his "achievements" and allows nobody to challenge him and his "achievements".
    Trump does not believe in a free press in spite of what that evangelist's daughter says. The free press has an obligation to hold Trump accountable for his conduct. Fox News "journalists" were openly campaigning for Trump which shows us what kind of phony "news" channel it is. You will never find the "facts" by watching that prejudiced character, Hannity. The MSM leans left and how could they not? Much of the crap that Trump spews is so outrageous and exaggerated. He thinks that the public is gullible and there are those that are and those that are not. How about that.

    After seeing the video, I agree that he should be suspended.
    If this was a FoxNews guy and it was Obama, I would say the same.
    He was being belligerent, mistreating the "microphone girl" and constantly interrupting the President as he tried to answer.
    I would suspend it indefinitely.

    Looks like the WH is using footage doctored by Infowars to justify it. This is just getting insane.

    There are two videos circulating: the real one and one where they speed up right when he moves his hands to make it look like he's striking her and mute the part where he says "Pardon me."

    What will CNN do now?

    But if they refuse to send anyone to the white house they will no longer have a reason to exist

    LOL.....Link up one of the Lame Stream asking about MS 13 at this Presser(which btw you would tremble uncontrollably if one of them looked at you) Otherwise your version of reality was just your trip into the Twilight Zone.

    You've got a pretty short memory.You weren't discussed when people like you were trying to frame Cory Lewandowski and got him charged with assault during Trump's presidential campaign.Accosta should be charged.Battery.He's potential danger to women as he clearly cannot control himself.

    I watched most of the whole press conference, I am not familiar with an edited one.
    And it doesn't matter if he said "Pardon Me"... the President said three times to give up the Mic, he still dodged her and then took his hand to gesture her hand away. It was confrontational.

    If it were actually battery there would be no need for the video Infowars edited. Nice try on the whataboutism though.

    LOL

    What a load.

    There are few "journalists" in the profession today. They are ideologues masquerading as "reporters". Fake news and dog whistles are their tools of the trade.

    Remember the Daily Caller reporter who was reported to have "harassed" President Obama? What did the liberal propaganda machine do?

    Finally saw the video this morning... you couldn't be further from the truth.... The entire thing was staged to get this result.

    Frankly, I'm amazed ANY legitimate network shows up to these events asking questions with the expectation of answers. There are none to be found in this president...

    Cable news produces 32 flavors of "The View" ... not news. Journo's are essentially just "B" list celebrities and paid ad spox-persons.
