A newspaper friend once asked. I paraphrase
"What do you call a journalist that isn't combative,skeptical of every utterance and accepts answers at face value?
An editor"
I would say David Gregory
So which is it we want, press that are lapdogs or press that get into the faces of Press Secretary's and Presidents.
Can't have both
I would argue Huckabee - Sanders is terrible at her job and Trump is a pathological liar.
But, Acosta is the boogie man?
Tell me, how many here knew of Jim Acosta before Trump ?
....................
One last thing, Trump called on Acosta. Acosta doesn't just get to stand up and speak.
Just like the Telemundo reporter Trump targeted during the primaries
And that's precisely the problem. Acosta has taken the bait, allowed himself to be somewhat humiliated, and played into Trump's portrayal of the mainstream media. Trump's looniness speaks for itself. I frankly think that at times the media's going bonkers actually gives Trump home field advantage. Instead of the NY Times piece on North Korea's expanding nuclear capabilities on the top fold, we get Trump/Acosta.
