he's a nothing. If you know this POS is a threat to the public wouldn't you do anything to protect yourself? Knock him down off that pedestal.

at Trump for attacking Peter Alexander over his perfectly appropriate question.

they'll just not show up for him. Of course, he'd probably just pull their credentials. He needs to be hauled off a la silence of the lambs.

.... with a few exceptions are afraid to ask the hard questions because they might get expelled. In my opinion, that is a chickenshit way to conduct oneself. If all you ask are the easy questions, what is the point in being there. Ask the questions that will make him sweat, and if you are expelled, then at least you got your shot in, and your dignity is preserved. It will reflect a hundred times more negatively on him than on the press. Just once, I would like to see a journalist publicly call him a liar when he actually lies in public. We all watch the new shows where the host will say, " Trump stated such and such, and that was a lie." Guess what? it did not become a lie when it aired on a news show. It became a lie the moment it came out of his mouth.

...and they want to keep their jobs.

It's the heads of the news networks that are to blame for letting this go on, in my opinion.
