If CNN was clever, instead of whining and filling meritless lawsuits, they could have Acosta host an hour long special titled "Questions President Trump Won't Answer", and then he can pontificate to his heart's content, and invite Democrat politicians and pundits on to pontificate to their heart's content. And nobody will even try to take his precious microphone away.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Even if Trump let Acosta stay, do you think he would ever call on him again? CNN would do better to replace him with someone else at this point, even if his pass wasn't revoked.
Simply never calling on him again is what he probably SHOULD have done. Dana Perino suggested he should have just "iced him out," which she did with at least one problematic reporter back in the Bush 43 days. She firmly but UNOFFICIALLY told her whole staff to never speak with him again.Last edited by NorrinRadd; 11-16-2018, 01:51 AM.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Originally posted by Tassmoron View PostThe removal of Acosta was an unabashed attempt to censor the press, in this instance CNN, by removing Acosta, its senior WH correspondent for no reason other than pushing for an answer to a reasonable question. Trump was, as is frequently the case, evading it. This is an abuse of the First Amendment against abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press and recognised by even Fox as setting a dangerous precedent.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
