PILOT SPIN

The MSM has gone full in with the Resist! movement as displayed yesterday at the WH press meeting with the President.
There is a protocol for the reporters who have the privilege (it's a privilege, not a right) to be invited inside the WH and report on as well as ask questions of the President. First and foremost of that protocol is respect. Anyone can ask a question, even a pointed question or a tough question and be respectful while doing it. Using the opportunity to grandstand or show your audience how you "dissed da man!" is not respect, nor is it acting as a real journalist.
Also, the President chooses who he will speak to. Sitting in the audience shouting questions while others attempt to speak (April Ryan) is childish and rude.
Also, using the opportunity to try to paint the President as a "White Nationalist", a lame attempt to advance a narrative to get a soundbite, is way out of line. Overt racism by activist disguised as reporters should not be tolerated, inside or outside of the WH.
If these "news outlets" actually wanted to cover news, they need to start sending real reporters to cover it. Remove people like Acosta and Ryan from the press corps and you may actually see some civility, and , low and behold, may actually engage the President in some real news worthy conversations.
It's sickening watching the various MSM outlets this morning lambasting the WH, and the President, for removing Acosta's WH credential. Even Acosta tweeted he had his credential removed as he attempted to enter the WH for his 8pm "hit". Yes, he used that term, "hit". Tells you all you need to know.
The MSM is crying "freedom of the press!", but the constitution does not guarantee anyone access to the WH that demands it. In fact, CNN could have sent another reporter as several have WH credentials. The network was not being denied access, their rude activist pretending to be a reporter was. And that is both legal and justified.

Was that a press briefing?

Exactly.
BHO was rough on reporters, but the MSM seems to have forgotten that.

Remarks in Rose Garden. But the tweets further down reveal some interesting stuff.

The Media is largely a Democrat talking point propaganda machine. It is obvious from the speeches these retards make when they are given time to ask Trump a question. If they DO ask a question it is always leading with the Democrat narrative to push their agenda. Total B.S. and disgusting, yet half the country eats it up. What is wrong with these people?

Yamiche Alcindor?
Yes, PBS is piling on too. Most noticeable is that every time they report something Trump says, they now add a comment to the effect of that he "falsely claimed" something or other. I'm not interested in hearing that as part of the NEWS, it belongs in the ANALYSIS segments, and needs an opposing opinion to balance the assertion that something false was stated.
I'm getting very disillusioned with both PBS and NPR...

Heard on the news today that “video of the incident shows that Acosta did not put his hand on the intern.”
Clearly, he did. Not meaningfully. But it’s a lie to say he didn’t.
