In reply to the discussion: The Free Press Died Today and Fox News took part [View all]TomSlick
(11,208 posts)7. The report of the death of the free press is an exaggeration. (With apologies to Mark Twain.)
The Fourth Estate will not go quietly into that good night. I have every confidence they will fight on. CNN is backing Jim Acosta. All media hell would break if it did not.
Reporting the news and asking tough questions is why these folks majored in journalism. It's what they do. I fully expect media professionals to act professionally and do their job.
I don't personally give a flying fig what Faux News and Sarah say. Neither represent professional journalism. Another profession comes to mind but Momma raised me better than to suggest Sarah is practicing that profession.

Acosta's career is not going to be brought down on this. The video is very clear what happened

No, the free press didn't "die." No need for defeatism right after we took the House.

Well, it was horrible - he punched her, kicked her and knocked her to the ground. Poor girl.
