I Would Have Fired Jim Acosta Had He Worked in My Department – Black & Blonde Media

How so? When did he cross an integrity line? Would you keep an employee who lies as much as the president? The job of the free press is to question the president about the things he doesn't want to talk about, not just feed him softball questions so that he can get his talking points across. That's the only way the free press can fulfill its role as government watchdog. Ask hard questions and demand answers. Don't let our elected officials off the hook for their statements and actions.

Trump came into that press conference plannng to pick a fight with the press to distract from the beating he took in the election. He can get up there and say it was a great success, but the repubs lost more seats than in the midterm that Bush called "a thumping" and Obama lost and called "a shellacking". It was an absolute political defeat. How does a party lose the house with the economy at all time highs and unemployment at lows? Because the voters rejected Trump's behavior.
