Jim Acosta losing his WH credentials is shitty. A second credential loss by anyone else is far worse

[Stinky The Clown]

Yanking Acosta's hangtag was the work of a petty, petulant man baby. I would not be surprised if it were returned. After all, MushroomDick von Pumpkinhead needs enemies.

On the other hand, if a second credential gets pulled, we have a nascent crisis. The media is a vital, integral part of our political system. Even shitty, partisan media like Fox has a place (although in the case of some Foxers, even that is debatable!)

Banning media is getting perilously close to a dictatorship. It is an abuse of power.

Acosta's travails are a sideshow right now. But make no mistake, this has the potential to be a big, serious story.

1. We already have a crisis. The WH is also lying about Acosta grabbing a WH worker.

Total BS, we all saw the video. The press needs to walk out.

2. I completely agree.

And there is slowed down video showing she touched him four times.

5. Trump has gone too far today ... I honestly believe he is going to declare himself

president for life. No Republican Senator or Congressman is going to stand up to him. We used our power of the vote and are helpless to do anything until January 3rd. I am terrified, angry, depressed, sorrowful ... how do we the people take the power back? I just don't see an end to this in sight.

6. I think one credential loss is too many ... nm

8. We are becoming a banana republic

Under Trump.

9. The media or a media member becoming the story is shitty

It takes over from the real stories and the important issues.

We are being played by Trump and the media. It's like a burlesque show

I fucking hate it
