When decorum & integrity are spurned, throw the media-bum out

No matter how much a political party or president may be disliked (hated?), it would be advisable that the media understand decorum and integrity are not one-way streets.

At the end of a meeting with a foreign leader, the President took questions, and one of the questions was from CNN’s Acosta, asking if Trump wanted more Norway migrants.

President Trump replied “I want them to come in from everywhere. Everywhere.”

Acosta’s followup demonstrated that he didn’t know the definition of ‘everywhere’, or was intent on painting the President as a racist: “Just caucasian or white countries, sir? Or do you want people from other parts of the world where there are people of color?”

President Trump, quite rightly, had a one-word response to that: “OUT”

When interviewed afterward, Acosta tried passing off his offensive rhetoric by claiming he was addressing the ‘controversy’ that surrounded the President because of his (allegedly bigoted) remarks about merit-based immigration criteria he wanted.

But, if anything, his disingenuous query shows exactly who’s responsible for the ‘controversy’ and the media effort to paint a merit-based criteria as racist and bigoted.

Not only should Acosta have been tossed, he should be banned from further access.

Let CNN send in another flunky – this one has gone beyond the pale.
