I personally think your current view of the Acosta stuff is a little naive. You mention the tables turned and the people hating Acosta would love a Fox reporter doing the same thing, but absolutely no mention of the mass amount of people that would absolutely love President Hillary to deny Fox reporters anything. That feels like much more of the mainstream left. Regardless of the explanations or changes thereof in regards to why it was revoked, Acosta is a grandstanding, question monopolizing, completely biased and opinionated hack that still claims to report unbiased news. He is absolutely out of line taking over questioning for as long as he does as consistently as he does. He, along with all the other reporters are invited there by the white house. They have every right to take that away if he can't follow protocol and CNN can send someone else. I also don't understand how you can't say he used forced to keep her from grabbing the mic after he was told he was done multiple times. No he didn't outright push her away but he did push down and he did use force to pull the mic back. A mic that belongs to the white house I might add. Not his property. I would bet money if he just admitted he was a left wing opinion journalist and stopped lying by omission to the public claiming to be an unbiased news source. The white house and Trump wouldn't have half the problem with him that they do.

I would to see Jim Acosta back in the White House and then Alex Jones to be sat right next to him. I wonder if at that point CNN would equally defend freedom of the press: DOn a more serious note the problem is more about how disruptive a journalist can and should be during a press conference with the highest officials of the state. The issue is not political but obvious is made political. I do not know the answer to that issue and while I am highly pro free speech I have this feeling that there is a limit to assholishness any person - even public officials - should have to deal with. White House might need to come up with some written rules as to the limit of question of limit of time one particular journalist can take at a time. Anyway, while this whole physical argument in this particular case seems a bit silly the argument that Jim Acosta does not respect other journalists that also would like to have time to ask questions to be valid. It's one thing to ask tough questions and the other trying to debate a public official during a press conference. The second should not have place during a press conference as it leads to nothing productive. And especially going back and forth with Trump who is not self aware enough to care about journalists being mean to him.

lol first amendment says NOTHING about press passes. no one has a RIGHT to monopolize ANYONE'S time. Acosta can rail, argue, talk, whine, pontificate, and ramble all day long. THAT is his right. He isn't some god-emperor status, he can't walk into your house and legally demand your time. The press conferences are a PRIVILEGE. I have no problem with a white house that has rules of conduct for it's journalists and literally everyone else. I don't have a problem with some back-water website with reasonable Terms Of Service. It's all a joke, a dying CNN needs this publicity to stay relevant. MSNBC, ABC, and literally everyone else is doing a better job running a news network right now. And I would prefer a journalist only disagree with someone if it's a contradiction and they point it out, I really don't want information collectors morally grandstanding and finger waving. If Acosta wants to act like a catholic school nun, he is free to do so when he's off the clock, or at least when he's more honest and changes his moniker to political pundit. I still can't believe anyone even cares. I think it's more a tribal thing. It's either, how dare you call him out on obvious things. he's our guy or he's not only a joke. but somehow bad. cuz he's not our guy

you can ask tough questions, including follow ups, without being a jerk. acosta was talking to the potus, which is a situation that calls for respect. if acosta can't be both tough and respectful, then he has no business being there. let someone else from cnn do the job. i'm sure there are many people better suited for the job. idk if i would have said the same thing during obama's presidency or not, but if the reverse happens in the future, you bet your ass i'll speak out against it. ultimately, it's really simple. just ask your question, ask your follow up if need be, and then pass the damn mic. i think trump acted like an ass as well though. still, if i were trump, i simply would have walked out of the press conference saying, i'll come back when you decide to be respectful. simple enough.

I just wanted to toss this out there for anyone wanting to and thinking of starting your own business. I have built a business at both ends of the country, I had to move for family reasons, and both did well and were profitable. 1 was in the city and 1 was so far out in the country that cows wouldn't even go there. Beleive you can do it, be damn good at what you do, don't expect to be a gazillionaire, go to work every damn day and work hard and that doesn't mean 70 to 80 hours a week. I did 50 hours tops. If you put the work in and you are damn good at what you do it will all come together, it will. The most important thing is this, make sure there is a sustainable market for you or your product. Go for it, do it, you WILL make it work. Good luck.

I grew up in the Silicon Valley, home of Google and Apple. I was there before they were there and when they showed up, at first it was exciting and cool. But as you speculated, it turned out to be horrible for most of us who live(d) there. If you werent working for them in a high position, you were pushed out. Prices for everything rose to completely unlivable proportions. I had to move, my family had to move, many of my friends had to move, it was a mass exodus of sorts. If you didnt own a house already, good luck affording rent ever. There need to be some financial rules set in place to ensure equity so this doesnt happen again. I wont be shocked at all if the new Amazon headquarters does to its residents what Apple and Google did to us.

About the Amazon story: Im in New Mexico and Intel decided come in build this MASSIVE plant, Im talking huge in Rio Rancho, at first everything was great they provided new computers to the high school that was being built at the time, more jobs were being created but intel decided to close out that location after a few years which caused massive lay-offs and now there this giant building right next to one of three main roads in the city that isnt good for anything. Theres a handful of people that are still there maintaining and security, but they havent said what theyre going to do with the building, what theyre going to do in general. I hope Amazon wont do the same to these cities

I grew up in San Jose, aka the capital of Silicone Valley- and let me tell you it has been tough for us regular folks. Most of the bay area is going through a HUGE housing crisis and like 10 ppl have to live in house to afford it lol. A decent apartment can cost anywhere from 2-3k a month. A lot of families had to move out from the bay to the central valley because the cost of living just got waaay too crazy. Bc of that, the traffic is insane. Some ppl commute anywhere from 3 to 5 hrs a day, and if there's an accident - your stuck on the freeway for daaays lol. I mean it's cool having the Google hq downtown, but shit at the same time it's caused tiny ass shacks in the ghetto to be worth like 650k.

I have lived in the Seattle area almost all of my life. While Amazon puts a lot of money into the city, they don't help a lot of the residents already here. A lot of those hired are brought from out of state, spiking up the numbers of those moving into the city. (A star that was released this year was that Seattle has something like 1000 people moving there every week) It makes getting decent housing incredibly difficult. To help this issue, the city is building a lot of compact apartments however, they're so expensive that many people can't afford it. With our higher minimum wage, it looks very appealing to those out of state but they don't realize just how expensive it is to live here.
