>>..meanwhile "hey look a squirrel" -- while Trump destroys the 1st amendment and people think this is a problem with a reporter. I think you're missing the significance of fact that what the president of the USA says actually DOES matter (a lot) and his antics with the press are dangerous.

Just curious... that reporter had 3 questions answered and was shouting out questions 4 and maybe 5 in a venue where you're allowed one question and one follow-up. Some might find that not just disrespectful to the host, but to the other free press who can't ask questions if somebody who's had their share, won't yield the mike or sit when asked.

But all you can see is destruction of the first amendment?

Also just curious... what should Trump have done when Acosta defied him and wrestled with the aide like that? Apologize to the rest of the free press and walk out? Make life impossible for Huckabee-Sanders by allowing a new precedent for disorder at the WH press briefings? What?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
