You know, I have no love for CNN or the MSM but having a president openly remove journalists he doesn't like doesn't set for a good precedent on how the next 4 years will be.

I don't like CNN and they are mostly a bunch of fools and idiots for what has transpired in the last 18 months, but there was no reason for Acosta to be treated that way for what Buzzfeed did.
TRUMP: As far as BuzzFeed, which is a failing pile of garbage, writing it, I think they're going to suffer the consequences. They already are. And as far as CNN going out of their way to build it up — and by the way, we just found out [as] I was coming down ... it was a different Michael Cohen they were talking about. All night long, it's Michael Cohen. I said I want to see your passport. He brings his passport to my office. I say, hey, wait a minute. He didn't leave the country. He wasn't out of the country. They had Michael Cohen of the Trump Organization was in Prague. It turned out to be a different Michael Cohen. It's a disgrace what took place. It's a disgrace, and I think they out to apologize, to start with, [to] Michael Cohen.
This was after CNN ran with a bizarre media smear that Trump was with hookers in Moscow. Trump owes CNN NOTHING.
There was a Michael Cohen in Prague, a government source told CNN, but it wasn’t the Michael Cohen an uncorroborated report identified as President-elect Donald Trump’s legal counsel.
The shocking report claimed that Cohen, the executive vice president of the Trump Organizations and special counsel to Trump himself, traveled to Prague to meet with Russian officials in August. It also claimed Cohen’s Ukrainian father-in-law had a dacha, or cottage, near that of Russian President Vladimir Putin. CNN’s Jake Tapper noted Wednesday that his reporting suggested a different Michael Cohen with the same birthday traveled to Prague around the same time under a foreign passport.

Stir the pot? That's what Trump does ALL the time! Stirring the pot is an understatement.
Imagine if Obama did the same thing and his press guy said they would throw out Fox News because reason? Oh the Rights heads would explode! The hypocrisy of the Trump camp is beyond stupid.
I tell you what, when Trump goes through 1/10th the rudeness that Obama did, then he can complain. Say what you will about the man, but he put up with a lot of bs from far ruder people.

But HOW Mr. Acosta approached the issue was totally wrong by being rude, don't you agree?
Was Acosta true about how passionate he was or was this all show..... which is how that looked to me.

I just caught the whole exchange un-edited this time.
I agree Acosta was out of bounds. I still think Trump is walking a dangerous line with how he's after CNN as a whole, but I get it now.
