There are still people who like to be informed, not just turn on the television and watch people read press releases or talk about cats doing funny stuff.



And that's the problem with things. Sharing your views is not news, it's editorializing. It's commentary. It's not news.

I'll just leave with you making the assumption that only Jim Acosta can obtain information. I was under the assumption that Press Conferences with POTUS were public information. Didn't realize you had to be in the room to obtain the information. I also didn't realize you had to ask the question to obtain info. I wonder what members of the press that don't get to ask questions report on? According to you, it can only be cats doing funny stuff. 

I get it, you're a journalist; you're going to side with the journalist. I simply have a problem with him choosing not voluntarily surrendering his mic when the staff asked him 3 times to do so. I think if you want special access to POTUS you should follow the rules. 

So you think if Acosta has his hard pass he won't share his views? You kinda lost me on that one.
