On Acosta, I can't defend his behavior. He uses his position in the briefing room to espouse pesonal points of view. "It's not an invasion" he said re the caravan. His job is to ask challenging Qs, not argue for his POV. He goes too far and hurts the rest of the press corps.
I personally wouldn't have pulled his hard pass. I'd have made light of it, wishing him good luck getting his op-eds published. Or hoping he finally gets to host a nighttime cable TV show. The hostility between the press and the Trump WH is unhealthy and Acosta is the example.
Tension in the briefing room is natural and inevitable, but Acosta has pushed the envelope beyond what any reporter I've ever known has done. I think CNN's suit is a bad move that will backfire. Acosta Hill is the wrong one to die on.
If I were in charge of CNN, I'd tell Acosta to stop taking stands and to simply ask questions. If i were in charge at the WH, I'd let some time pass and let Acosta back in, so long as he agrees to stop his editorial act.
He wants straight answers to his questions. It's about time that reporters ask the same question over and over again until the politicians actually answer it.
But challenging questions require premises like "it's not an invasion". And they never give him a direct answer. And they call on him anyway because people like you use him as a representative of all political journalists when they smear people who try to report.
Ari, are there basic rules of decorum that the WH can enforce?
If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.
A privilege, not a right to be there. Ask the ten thousand other media outlets that don't have a rep. I would force CNN to send a new reporter and if they act out of line suspend the networks access indefinitely.
