    President Trump kicked CNN star Jim Acosta out of the Oval Office Tuesday after the network’s senior White House correspondent badgered him with racially charged questions.

    Acosta has made a habit of grandstanding and interrupting when Trump and his surrogates are available to the media. Tuesday was no exception, as Acosta yelled, “Mr. President,” three times before finally getting Trump’s attention......

    ........ Trump then pointed directly at Acosta and simply said, “Out!”

    http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...-office-after-reporter-s-newest-outburst.html

    I'm fully in support of freedom of the press, but at what point do you draw the line when reporters are consistently rude, distracting, disrespectful, and prone to "fake news"?

    I actually don't have a problem with Trump throwing Acosta out. Someway, somehow respect needs to be returned to the White House -- the anti-Trump media circus has gotten out of hand. If the reporters can't behave with a degree of professionalism and respect, I'm sure there are hundreds more who would happily take their place.

    The media circus spectacle surrounding the press release about Trump's physical was an equally shameful reflection on what the press has become. :no:

    What the hell is Acosta doing asking those questions? He's trying to pick a fight and get a quick sound byte for CNN. Acosta and CNN should be told that kind of behavior is totally out of line and if he continues he will be banned from White House press briefings and conferences.

    Acosta has a political agenda. He's not a "journalist".

    Yea these liberal clowns trash Trump as a "racist" for his alleged shithole comment.

    But Trump used his personal wealth to run medical relief missions to Haiti.

    Is that something a "racist" would do?

    Is the Communist News Network mentioning that in all of their slander and libel?

    How much did clown Acosta donate I wonder?

    I'm sick of these jounalists who act like they are so intelligent. You are not a Dr or a Lawyer. You are not a historian or a scientist. You are a reporter. You report on what other people do. You don't actually do anything yourself.

    end of rant.

    Well said

    But if we injected anti trumpsters in the media with truth serum I think we’d thst they are activists for global socialism who are on a mission to radically change America

    And they will do or say whatever it takes to get there

    You would think after Acosta completely embarrassed himself with the statue of liberty gaffe that he would lie low for a bit longer but I guess not. I am actually surprised CNN didn't pull him out of the WH after that fiasco.

    Trump doesn't like to be asked hard questions, everyone knows that

    snowflake Trump wants a safe space to spew his vile from without anyone questioning it

    How the hell can we take leftist voters or leftist media or leftist politicians seriously? Your own house is filthy and dishonest as can be.

    The problem is that Trump lies so frequently or he is grossly misinformed..

    By and large, yes. I could not care less if he injured a few sensitive phonies out there at CNN or Maxine Waters or whatever.

    Trump is the only president willing to tell the truth about our enemies and the only one willing to do something about it. Everyone on the left and most on the right are cowards only concerned about keeping their cushy careers going. They are, in essence, the enemy to the common good. And the mainstream media is the most toxic element destroying our nation. So thank God for Donald Trump.

    Why can't a portion of the nation simply realize that some countries are sh*tholes. How difficult is it to understand ?

    When Trump speaks, research the facts. He's always uninformed and half baked.
