White house correspondents shouldn't be partisan hacks. Do you feel like Jim Acosta is good at his job? Do you feel that white house correspondents should report their opinions, throw "gotchas" at the POTUS, and most of all, laying your hands on a woman taking the microphone away from you because your time is up? Why would you defend Jim Acosta? What is wrong with you TJ?

Nothing. I believe in a free press. Sarah Sanders (and, by extension, Donald Trump) does not. Telling a reporter who's being disruptive to leave for the day is one thing. Stripping a reporter of his (or her--Kaitlin Collins) credentials because you don't like the stories they're writing about you is unconstitutional. You act as if body shaming is something new to Donald Trump's administration. Want to go back and take a look at some of the things Donald Trump has said about women in his career? Look up "Donald Trump Rosie O'Donnell" for starters:

"I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie."
"I feel sorry for Rosie 's new partner in love whose parents are devastated at the thought of their daughter being with Rosie"
When asked on Fox News about his calling women "fat pigs", "dogs", "slobs" and "disgusting animals", his response was, "Only Rosie O'Donnell."


And this is setting aside the whole, "grab 'em by the (feline)" tape. If you want to play the "respect for women" card, you picked the wrong administration to play it with.

I don't think Jim Acosta is particularly good or bad at his job. I think Brian Williams is a terrible reporter because he fabricated an entire story. I think Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are the best reporters to have ever walked the face of the earth because they kept digging for facts and reported only what they found without spinning or intentionally coloring it. Jim Acosta doesn't make things up, but he also doesn't deliver unbiased news in any way. And if that's a crime that gets you expelled from the press room, then that whole group of reporters is [BLEEP].

Throwing "gotchas" at the President is exactly what reporters should be doing. You get the truth or a lie so easy to shoot holes in that you can see the truth through it when you catch someone completely off guard and they're dumb enough to answer.

The suggestion that Jim Acosta "laid his hands" on a woman trying to get the mic is ridiculous. It's a non-story that the White House turned into a huge affair because Trump (and, by extension, Sanders) hates CNN. The woman who went to take it from him tried twice and was rebuffed with body motion. She made contact with him twice. She then reached across Acosta's chest and grabbed his hand, to which he lowered his arm to push hers down. The White House video is so poorly doctored together that you'd have to be a total stooge, a total clown to see it as any kind of "assault". Was it appropriate? No. Was it assault? No. Once someone has made unwanted contact with you, you are well within your rights to push back with an appropriate amount of force to end that contact. His movements to deflect the young lady were only some form of "laying your hands on her" if you're a total Trumpette refusing to watch the full speed NBC video, which shows Acosta pulling away, and ask why the WH video, which shows a <mods, the word filter's broken again> karate chop, looks so different.

I don't care about Jim Acosta one way or another. I care about freedom of the press, and when the President and his press secretary knowingly and willfully impede the free press, they're violating the Constitution of the United States. Knowingly lying to reporters falls into that category. Holding special briefings and only inviting the reporters you like falls in there. Manufacturing reasons to take credentials away from reporters you don't like is in there, too. And yes, so is just refusing to even hold press briefings at all.

Nothing's wrong with me. I'm not the one who apparently believes that the First Amendment is less important than the message conveyed to the public and who's conveying it. What's wrong with you?

She stopped responding to emails. She tried to ban reporters she personally didn't like. There was a time where she quit inviting "left-leaning" news organizations to press briefings, instead inviting only the press favorable to Trump to join. She only poked her head out of the White House when she had something that Trump was crying about and needed to make someone else's fault. Many of her actions prompted a sharp rebuke even from the Trump-leaning news outlets. She's a joke of a Press Secretary, regardless of any biases individual reporters have.

You left out that she was body shamed publicly at the WH correspondents dinner.

You don't live in a world of facts.

Obama never kicked any reporter out of any press briefing. That was a lie circulating around social media after Jim Acosta's press credentials were suspended. How shocking you believed it, it probably got mixed in with everything else you swallow without question.

Here is the full text of what Michelle Wolf said about Sanders at that infamous White House Correspondents Dinner:


Quote:"And of course, we have Sarah Huckabee Sanders. We are graced with Sarah’s presence tonight. I have to say I’m a little star-struck. I love you as Aunt Lydia in 'The Handmaid’s Tale.' Mike Pence, if you haven’t seen it, you would love it.


"Every time Sarah steps up to the podium I get excited, because I’m not really sure what we’re going to get. You know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies or divided into softball teams. 'It’s shirts and skins, and this time don’t be such a little [BEEP], Jim Acosta!'

"I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. Like she burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.

"And I’m never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders, you know? Is it Sarah Sanders, is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is it Cousin Huckabee, is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? Like, what’s Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women? Oh, I know. Ann Coulter."

I don't see any "body shaming" in there, do you?

You're off your game, SC1. Or maybe this is the best sycophant act you can do.

World of facts,  indeed.

To be fair, pretty sure SHS herself said she was "body shamed," so he's probably just parroting the White House like he do.

There was no mention of SHS's physical appearance except for eye make-up. Talk about your snowflake...

Not a lot of things more painful than watching a leftist attempt to reverse the snowflake label on a conservative. Do democrats have a creative bone in their entire body?

Most people don't think it's funny when they're the butt of the joke.
You'll be happier when you learn to laugh at yourself.

Oh trust me I'm laughing at myself even now.
Don't let the fact that I'm also laughing at you confuse you about this.
More generally, you probably shouldn't assume the emotional state of somebody based on a bit of text, unless they come out and say it.

It's like going to the Shriners Circus versus Ringling Brothers...They got the clown show nailed, but they have a hard time juggling, tight-rope walkers are falling, and the blindfolded target shooters are missing left and right.
