    Yes, the White House making up some crap about a reporter accosting an aide when we can all see on tape what actually happened, and then revoking that reporter’s pass, is insane. But this feels like one of the rare instances where “IT’S A DISTRACTION” is an apt description.

        Really? You don't think a president removing press credentials in retaliation is important? Seems to me of a piece with the lawlessness of installing a compliant AG.

        I absolutely do. I also think this is intentionally picking a fight on a day when...they fired the Attorney General and put in a place a political stooge who’s on the record about undermining the Mueller investigation, and, you know, lost the House in a repudiation to Trump.

        Intended as distraction, perhaps - but that raises a dilemma when it's not something that should be ignored.

        I do think we’re capable of focusing on multiple things at once, but I think it’s worth asking why the White House is picking this fight, and being conscious about how we respond and cover it as a result.

        It’s not a distraction. Today was the beginning of a narcissistic rage. He‘s furious about yesterday. Angry and pacing at the press conference, firing Sessions, taking away press pass. Dangerous times right now.

        No. Not this time. This is a test case and if there isn't huge pushback it will happen to all critical media.

        he knows (or maybe doesn't), that even if Mueller and Rosenstein get the axe, the House can still hire them on on Jan. 3rd. And that puts both of them out of Trump's reach,

        So maybe the @whca and the @whpresscorps can do something about it? Like refusing to show up at briefings, gaggles, impromptu South Lawn events, board Air force One. If you don't cover him, he will starve frim no attention. STARVE THE BEAST

        Yes, Acosta having his credentials revoked is very important, but this is also a distraction from the Matt Whittaker appointment. The conversation about both is diluted.

        They always lie about things which are on tape. They lie about knowing a contestant from "Celebrity Apprentice", which is all vid.

        Also, remember this is the Administration led by a man who bragged that he could grab women "by the p***y" without their consent 'cause he's famous.
