Just like we have to deal with "No one is forcing you to use 'xyz,'" I think it's more than fair to hold the same standard here. No one is forcing CNN or any other news outlet to use specific reporters. Furthermore, no one is forced to use that news outlet anyway so there's no harm here.
Of course, for those here who lack the sarcasm gene, I'm employing sarcasm. Serious sarcasm.
Serious.

Of course I would strongly oppose that.

Still throwing out a reporter for petty reasons isn't acceptable, IMO he should just have his seat relocated to the back.

My sarcasm game usually works, but not in this fight. What are they up to?
Trump could have said the exact same things and he still would have been Satan.
Obama never told me anything. And Trump still isn't Satan, stop believing in bullshit people make up.
Fox portrays itself as the conservative news source, and the outspoken enemy of CNN, but methinks the wind is blowing, and the smokescreen is getting a might sparse in spots. All the paparazzi wants to portray Trump as the big ole meanie attacking the press, while conveniently forgetting they threw the first punch, and continued their collective attack ever since. Not too surprising, since they have a history of long & short term memory loss (or is it just 'selective amnesia')?
