    That's very true; the president works for the people, not the other way around.

    A President that lies continuously degrades respect for the office and the behavior of the reporters reflects both the respect of the press and the respect of the American people.

    That said nobody is compelling Trump to call on Acosta. Interesting to contemplate why he does it if Acosta is so offensive to our poor little snowflake, draft dodging, commander in chief.

    Acosta attacked, insulted, disrespected, and debated. It's been going on for some time. How many other correspondents are there at these press conferences? Do they constantly make headlines for themselves? Are they so narcissistic like Acosta they have to piss in the faces of their fellow journalists and dominate the briefings?

    Another fact is that a legitimate news organization would realize there is a personality problem with their White House correspondent, and reassign Acosta to some other gig. That way they could actually report news, rather than fabricate it.

    Jimmy would probably be good reporting on initiation rights of MS 13 members, or perhaps the inner workings of child sex traffickers who bring children across the border. I mean, given his attacks on border sercurity, it's clear he doesn't care. Perhaps he's a customer?

    As you know, ibobbrob, Acosta is a mentally challenged amateur, he's not a journalist. These press conferences are designed for real journalists to ask questions. That's why Acosta has such trouble with them.

    There has always been a level of decorum that was respected without written rules but it seems that era is over and reporters nowadays need to be treated like the angry out of control children they are.

    What do you expect when you have an, "unruly," character occupying the Presidency who daily berates, threatens, and falsely accuses the free press? Sh*it flows downhill. If you don't like it, then clean it up at the top! ;)

    The overriding rule for doctors is first do no harm. For journalist it's don't make yourself the story. Acosta has violated that rule over and over again.

    Beyond that, what legitimate news organization would keep a person in place like Jimmy, who obviously is completely ineffective and controversial?

    Shows exactly where CNN ranks.

    It will be interesting to see if Acosta purposely breaks the new rules to once again make the story about him. CNN could be plotting this right now with the intent of getting to the supreme Court in a case that contest the president's right to set rules for the press. Great publicity stunt for Acosta and CNN.

    "That idiot can't handle a debate."


    Even though your admission is couched in unreasoned hate, I'm glad that you accept the reality that Acosta was debating.

    Tell your friends!

    If he wants to grand stand, he needs to get his own press conference. Maybe someone will attend it.

    He wanted a specific answer.
    Too bad. This ain't the Jerry Springer show.

    I see lots of double standards on both sides. Most people do.
    Still don't know what your talking about?

    That would have made more sense coming from me. You conservative sure have turned into spineless yes men. What happened to the backbone you had when Obama was president? I liked those conservatives better.

    I wrote "Last time I checked, he was asking a question about the Russian investigation." You said it wasn't the case. And I sourced Acosta asking "are you concerned/worried about indictments coming from the Russian investigation"

    And the person you call fake reporter... he got a press pass, buddy.
    Stop spreading your fake right wing dogma already. lol

    You mean he didn't get to ask multiple questions before he tried to ask the Russia question? He won't have a press pass for long. :banana::banana::banana:

    Anybody, whether they be a mentally challenged amateur, not a journalist, the man in the moon, who asks tough questions of Trump
    will be denigrated in some manner, shape, or form. the problem is that Trump lies and lies and lies and the press knows it. They must lob
    softballs at him or face denigration. He is unwilling to accept challenging questions and places shills in the audience. Eventually, he will
    accept easy questions only.
