    Your assumption about Acosta is just that, an assumption. The only thing he complained about was Trump not calling on the WH press corps. Any assumption or speculation you make on his motives is only based on your beliefs and not really factual.

    Hannity is an opinion show, not a news program. Just like Rachel Maddow only from a different direction.


    And Acosta complained because he assumed Trump didn't want to answer questions about the Cohen testimony. Obviously Acosta did not want to keep the press briefing confined to the topic at hand. He wanted to derail it.

    Actually that is why the Democrats scheduled that hearing when they did. They wanted to keep the attention focused elsewhere just in case Trump negotiated a breakthrough with Kim.

    Again, your assertion about Acosta is just your own speculation.

    He said it. He said that Trump avoided questions from him and his pals to avoid answering questions about the Cohen circus. That's not an assumption or speculation.

    Not exactly. Acosta never mentioned himself nor did he imply he desired to derail the press conference.

    "“First of all, we have to point out the obvious, which is the president steered clear largely during this news conference of the White House press corps and instead selected journalists at random from the other side of the room, where foreign journalists were seated,” Acosta said."

    He said that Trump did that to avoid questions pertaining to the Cohen testimony. That tells me that he was intending to redirect the subject. That's obvious. I don't know why you are trying to deny this.


    Trump knew it and he didn't let them take charge.

    I'm not trying to redirect anything. I was simply pointing out that the OP article is dishonest and disingenuous.

    I didn't say you were trying to redirect anything. It's not dishonest or disingenuous as Acosta did go on the record complaining that him and his counterparts were not called upon because Trump knew that they wanted to address the Cohen testimony.

    He said it. Why deny it? They were all snubbed and he's complaining about it.
