In a shocking affront to our sacred First Amendment, CNN's Jim Acosta was ejected from the

Oval Office yesterday at the end of a press conference with President Trump and the President

of Kazakhstan. A Costa was trying to ask the President an important question. He was saying,

quote, look at me. Look at me. I'm Jim Acosta. Will you not look at me? Why doesn't everyone look

at me? Will you look at me or not? Am I not Jim Acosta? Am I Jim Acosta or am I not?

Unquote. The President Stonewall, the intrepid reporter, repeatedly refusing to tell the public

whether he would, in fact, look at him and whether he was or was not Jim Acosta. Then, with blatant

disregard to the public's right to know, Trump told Acosta to get out, as if he were not an

American journalist at all, but just some obnoxious self-promoting, grandstanding adolescent,

more interested in getting his name and face on television than gathering information with which

to inform the CNN audience before the CNN audience boards his next plane. The understandably

outraged Acosta had this to say about the incident. A press rangler over here at the White House

got basically right up in my face and the faces of other pool reporters here at the White House

and started shouting so loudly that it was impossible for the President to hear our questions

or even see that we were trying to ask questions. It was that kind of a display. It reminded me of

something that you might see in less democratic countries when people at the White House are officials

of a foreign government attempt to get in the way of the press and doing their jobs. That's right.

Acosta felt that he had been treated as if you were in some crap hole country instead of a nice place

like Norway. Acosta said, quote, in Norway, they know that I am Jim Acosta and they look at me because

I am Jim Acosta, look at me, look at me. So anyway, I'm glad to report that at least someone is

fighting for good journalism in America. Donald Trump, Trigger Warning, I'm Andrew Clayvin,

and then this is the Andrew Clayvin Show.
