In fact, it applies to all the political activity and decisions. On both sides. And we’re becoming an ever-increasing society of revenge and spite.
But I don’t know why anyone thinks FOX is all that different from any other media entity. They’re all creatures of the industry, even if some lean one political direction and others leave the opposite. They still share the same industry “integrity” in the end.
If only they hadn’t accused Acosta of assaulting an intern, the revoking of his press pass likely wouldn’t have garnered the attention it did.
That made it clear it was a political thing…and court precedent has established the President doesn’t get to control attendance at a press conference for political reasons.
Trump may feel he “owns” the press room, but guess what?
He doesn’t.
And Fox News is sticking by CNN because it’s the right thing to do…the same way CNN stuck by Fox News when Obama was declaring his mini-war against them…and for the same reason.
A free press is quite different than a disrespectful turd attempting to make a name for himself. Good riddens to Acosta. Isn’t it weird how even his name fits…accost…a?
I watched it live and he did touch her arm and did in fact force it down a little, I don’t think that is assault but by law it is. If a fox news journalist did this I would want him replaced as well. What he did was wrong and fox should not have supported this behavior.
“Fair and balanced” is an advertising slogan. Like “Snap Crackle Pop,” “Finger Lickin’ Good” and “It Keeps Going, and Going, and Going…”. Nothing more.
