Nothing to do with Trump/Acosta. That has nothing to do with bias unless you consider that me thinking that the person who actually has experience in the field being discussed knows better than the guy who just has an opinion and not experience. On that note, more people who know the business: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/417537-white-house-correspondents-group-promises-reporters-will-continue-to-ask Quote:The president of the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) said Monday that the group "fully expect[s]" White House reporters to continue asking follow-up questions at presidential news conferences. RE: Jim Acosta - GMDino - 11-21-2018 see? He doesn't even have to answer a question if he doesn't want to.

Yes Acosta acted the fool. How ever BFine has a point. There are more reporters there that DON"T get to ask a question. Does that mean they didn't do their job??? According to you yes, and that is false, because they still get to report the answers on what others asked. If it's filmed live, you get the info just the same as the person sitting there. Only difference is, you won't get a chance to ask a question, but it's no different than the POTUS never calling you now is it? RE: Jim Acosta - GMDino - 11-21-2018 (11-21-2018, 09:50 PM)Mike M (the other one) Wrote: Yes Acosta acted the fool. So your contention is that because they didn't get to ask they didn't do their job. Just as an example: How many tried and were not picked? They are there to gather information. The best way to do that is to ask a question. if the POTUS is afraid to answer a question so he can just say that reporter isn't allowed in then it is wrong. There is a tremendous difference between just reporting the answer the POTUS gave to a question and getting to ask your own. And I stand by my point of the post you quoted: Bfine doesn't know what he's talking about because he's never done it. He's simply defending Trump as he always does.

No, that was Benton's opinion; you know; the expert. RE: Jim Acosta - GMDino - 11-21-2018 (11-21-2018, 10:15 PM)bfine32 Wrote: No, that was Benton's opinion; you know; the expert.

Not asking a question doesn't mean they're not getting to do their job. They may not get picked to answer, or they may have their question asked. Often times a reporter has spent hours (days sometimes) getting a story together and that interaction is his chance to finish it... and sometimes that finish comes when someone else asks the necessary question. For reporters that don't get to ask their question today, they hold it (and the story) until tomorrow. An elected official reading from a script and taking a question or two is not an open flow of information. Doing their job often requires asking questions that aren't part of the conference, and that's widely accepted as OK because that's the only contact they're having. It's not like Acosts or any other reporter is calling up the POTUS and asking for a quote. (11-21-2018, 10:15 PM)bfine32 Wrote: No, that was Benton's opinion; you know; the expert.

You were the one that said a reporter cannot do his/her job if he/she cannot ask questions. I was simply citing you as an expert source (BTW, Dino doesn't consider you an expert) when Dino disagreed with the assertion. Perhaps you should yield to him. I really don't know why only the person that asked the question is the only one that doesn't give his/her opinion on the answer. His/hers is news; everyone else that heard the answer is opinion. Must be a trade secret. RE: Jim Acosta - GMDino - 11-22-2018 (11-22-2018, 01:47 AM)bfine32 Wrote: You were the one that said a reporter cannot do his/her job if he/she cannot ask questions. And Benton explained, clearly in his last post what that entails. A person willing to admit he was wrong, or who wasn't hellbent on defending the POTUS at every cost, would/could admit that.

How's MY name taste? ![]() Anyway at least quote me correctly...I said "I didn't say Benton was an expert". Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. My original point was that he has had much more experience than you (or I) involving the topic at hand and MAYBE you are are wrong when you only have your opinion.

Well I can see you're back to just mishmashing answers and trying to muddy up the waters so I'll be out until I get mentioned again. Just know that your answers are getting (and I didn't know how this could happen) even more wrong and further from what happens. Probably because your bias and opinions are overshadowing your ability to admit you might have been wrong.

The reporters story may not have anything to do with the briefing. 2. If the reporters story is the subject of the breifing, he may want something answeredfor the benefit of his readers/viewers. The reporter really cannot do his job if he doesn't have access to origination material. The desire to have an evenless informed public is as disappointing as it is partisan. |
