>>You're missing the WHOLE point -- it's not just this one incident of Trump 'insulting' a reporter. It's Trump attacks on the free press -- ya know the cornerstone of our democracy.

Unless you insist that the whole free press is fake news and/or Jim Acosta, how is banning one reporter who's been misbehaving for months, an attack on the free press? Be specific with no paraphrases.

I'd add that according to most politics, the status of the office of POTUS is also fairly important to democracy- so how come there's no faux outrage at the non-stop 24/7 attacks on POTUS? The same people acting aghast that Saint Acosta got sent to the naughty chair which they insist destroys the first amendment, are often the foulest destroyers of the stature that the office of POTUS once enjoyed. You do realize that the office of POTUS will never recover what you've torn down, don't you?
"... 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
