This not only applies to Jim Acosta but remember Jorge Ramos did it to Trump. It's something only "star" reporters can do, hog the spotlight and walk all over everyone else in the press room. WH has been more than patient. I mean I agree Acosta was probably annoying and rude by holding the mic in such a busy press room. But then you have the president reacting to his question with a personal attack (you should do your job at CNN better), reacting to the mic holding by calling him a terrible person and enemy of the people. And later Huckabee Sanders saying he harmed the microphone-woman in some way, which is clearly false. And then you can only defend Acosta because all of these actions are way worse than him asking a second question where he should not have. Also I think Sanders used a doctored clip sourced from Infowars to 'prove' that he was aggressive, which is ridiculous.
Yup, they did. Which is unacceptable, blatant dishonesty.
Speaking of, isn't this the same White House that gave InfoWars press credentials that one time? Because after saying "yes, please!" to Alex Jones there's really no room to criticize Acosta, whether on antisocial behavior, temperament, or quality of reporting.
I mean, it's obvious the reason this happened is because Acosta's reporting is critical of the WH. The rest is just an excuse they ginned up to try to silence a critic; if this incident were their real reason, why would they need to use doctored evidence?

Hard to remember if the same people that said Democrats were blowing Lewandowski grabbing that reporter out of proportion are the ones saying Acosta went too far by "harming" or whatever that woman, the turnover of "the best people" is absurdly high in the Trump administration.

To be fair, if a journalist is repeatedly rude or disrespectful to WH staff I would expect for their credentials to be rescinded. Politeness at work is basic. There was no need for the edited footage and no need to go to Infowars for official WH communication ever.

I don't think that the FBI is being honest or transparent. One of the sources of the Daily Caller article is Rep. Gohmert, who is on the House Intelligence Committee.

So you believe the FBI is lying to protect the Clintons?

I think that Comey and some of the high level officials who have been fired may have been lying to protect the Clintons. I suspect that the current crop of officials who have been blatantly obstructing all congressional oversight investigations are trying to protect the FBI and DOJ as institutions.

I'm sure Louie Gohmert is more honest and transparent than the FBI. Also there's no reason to credit the Clinton-China hacking story but not the Trump phone surveillance story aside from political bias.

I wonder if Sessions can ride Trump to winning his seat back with Trump still pissy at him (Trump can hold a grudge) or if Trump puts it behind him to protect/enlarge their Senate Majority in 2020?

Like I said, you are absolutely delusional if you think that the NYT phone surveillance story and the Clinton email story are even in the same league (to the extent that each is true).
And again, take a look at who has been fired and demoted from the FBI over the past year or so. There was clearly something rotten going on over there.

I’m sure the president will be blamed for this somehow like he is in all things.

Quality shitpost right there. But why you're complaining I don't know. This is what you fully support and approve of. This is the hyper-partisan age you love so much. Where exactly do you think it's going to go if neither side backs down? Celebrate, Danglars. Now you can - for once - have a point when you talk about people on the left going too far.

I hope not, I hope and think democrat leaders thoroughly denounce this. That shit is completely unacceptable and this is not Trump's fault. However, I'd be fine with a position of giving some blame to say, Maxine Waters or whatever, as long as Trump also gets his share of blame for violence from his own followers.

I think this as only a matter of good luck that you’ve decided it’s not Trumps fault. Only a matter of weeks ago, you blamed him (among other things) for an anti-Semitic attack from a vocal Trump hater, despite Trump’s continued support for the nation of Israel and close family relation to Jews. I hope you eventually change your mind.

Democrats would rather complain about imaginary attacks against the leftist press than real attacks against conservatives.

Talking about them being in the same league is a goal post move but your apparent lack of concern for surveillance of his personal phone is hypocritical.

I'm not moving the goal posts at all. I consider the NYT story to be practically false and insignificant to the extent that it is true. If you don't understand the difference between foreign actors listening to purely personal phone calls and foreign actors reading the secretary of state's office-related emails, then you have serious problems.
