American Right is going the Nazi way

[Max E.]

The far-right was responsible for the majority of extremist killings in 2017

These kinds of metrics are ridiculous but if you really want to go there roughly half of all homicides every year are commited by people of color, and they vote 90% for dems, that means that when you include whites, democrats make up roughly 75% of the murderers in america.

I have see more than a few posts about trump censoring acosta's freedom of speech... whether it was here or elsewhere. the constitution seems to have morphed from a living breathing document for Obama to an Iron clad anti trump resist document.

with respect to the law you need to research Forum Doctrine before you give us the dnc opinion. you don't have it correct. For instance you can't walk into a public court session and just speak your mind. Its a multipronged test and I don't think the white house is a public forum. The press room may or may not be a limited public forum. But clearly the white house exercises control over it by handing out passes which can of course be revoked by the president.

Nobody said constitutional rights were being infringed, even with the college campus arguments, there is no question of constitutional rights since that's only limited to government interfering and has nothing to do with what private institutional policy. WH is in fact a public forum since it's paid for by the public, a college campus is in fact private property so even in that light your argument doesn't make sense.

It wasn't a court session, in fact experts say that Trump broke the law by expelling Acosta - so even that argument of yours is flawed.

from your own article... this was not even a press conference for those types of questions.


"Full disclosure, Trump hadn’t invited the media with the intent of fielding any hard-hitting questions; the press had simply been summoned to look on with adoration as an ostensibly dignified President Trump welcomed Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev to the White House. "

therefore... everything the article speculated about was off point and their press conference analysis although slanted would most likely not even apply.

And as I said Acosta followup questions were not journalistic.

It doesn't have to be a press conference.

Law & Crime spoke today with George Freeman, the Executive Director of Media Law Resource Center, who agreed:

“The White House doesn’t have to conduct press conferences and probably can invite whom it wants to presidential interviews, but where a reporter is part of an accredited press pool, and then gets excluded on the basis of the content of his question, that certainly raises First Amendment concerns.”

I am telling your right now... the sup court would not tell the president of the United States he has to stand there and allow a member of the press to call him a racist in front of a foreign president. The press conference was a limited public forum at best... and the president would be found to be easily within his rights.

He didn't call him a racist, he asked indirectly if he was one just like Acosta asked Obama if Dems are embarrassed by you which was again based on reporting at the time. A reporter doesn't need to care about a politician's feelings, that's not their job.

bullshit...
acosta's followup question/statement called Trump a racist
Trump answered the question... I want them to come in from everywhere.
Acosta then says just caucasian or white countries...

Acosta was flat out calling him a racist.
Doing that to President in front of the President of another country is the most disrespectful thing a United State reporter has every done on Camera to my recollection.

it makes you wonder who the fuck Acosta thinks he is? CNN should fire him.

It IMPLIED he was a racist which he is - his own party members have called him that.

And Trump didn't answer the question, Acosta asked IF HE SAID that more people from Norway should come in, Trump answered he wants everyone to come which of course is not pertaining to the question.

But at least we have set the standard. So when right wingers go to college campuses and insult LGBT or Muslims or immigrants, it's ok for college kids to throw them out for being disrespectful. Glad that the standards are settled
