Yes I indeed did have a different interpretation of the events with CNN. In fact, it's why before Bash even mentioned it I'd made comments in this thread(or another thread) laughing at how Trump treated CNN.
But hey, why bother thinking stuff through when you can just shout "triggered" or "no you" or "deflection" or something, right?

Surtur,Do you really believe the soon to be POTUS should be yelling at a reporter for asking "may I ask a question?" in regards to defending his news organization that was just attacked?
He yelled at him because the guy wouldn't shut up, Trump had said no he couldn't ask and had called on someone else. The guy didn't stop.
Is that appropriate behavior for a reporter? Do not act like he innocently just tried to ask a question, was rebuffed, and then accepted it like a professional.
Please don't turn this into a debate over if the guy had the right to defend his shitty network. This wasn't a press conference for CNN, it was for Trump. He can call on who he chooses.
Surtur,
So you believe it's alright for the soon to be most powerful man in the world (so the saying goes) to attack and accuse someone/organization of wrongdoings and then not allow said person/organization a chance to defend themselves is what you're saying?
Because all the man did was repeatedly ask if he could ask a question in defense on himself/CNN.

Considering the way the media and CNN especially treated Trump all throughout this election? I 100% do feel it is alright to do it to CNN.
Robtard, do you feel it is alright for a reporter to continually try to ask a question he has been told he can't ask..after another person has been called on to ask a question? All under the guise of defending his shitty organization that does indeed peddle misleading news?
Furthermore, do you feel this conference was a platform for CNN to defend itself, or for President Trump to hold the press conference to answer questions? Which last I checked, the person giving the conference usually chooses who gets to ask the next question. Are you seriously trying to justify the behavior of CNN because someone dared call them out and didn't want to listen to their bullshit excuses? Stop acting like there isn't a history between Trump and CNN, not to mention of CNN's own bullshittery in general.
Good lord. You're advocating media censorship if a given news agency hurt Trump's feelings.
Yes, I feel it's 100% acceptable for a reporter to repeatedly ask a question, especially if he/his organization was just accused of wrongdoing and he wants a chance to defend against the attack. If someone is mentioned and accused, they should be given a chance at a rebuttal. Maybe you should go live in Putin's Russia?
See above.

Lol media censorship? By not allowing a specific reporter to ask a question at a press conference where I'm sure not every reporter got to ask one?
But anyways, you tried to frame this as if guy asked a question and Trump yelled. No, what happened was he was told he could not ask a question, someone else was called on, and the man continually interrupted. If the guy felt CNN was slighted, those feelings are irrelevant. The bottom line is what happened was this man continually tried to interrupt someone after he had been told he couldn't ask a question.
Why? Because Trump feels CNN is fake news.
As for chances for a rebuttal, they can give a rebuttal all they want, do they not have their own network? They are not *owed* a rebuttal at this press conference.

If Trump wasn't being bitchy and protecting his fragile feelings why didn't he let the man ask?

He feels CNN is fake news. That is why he wasn't interested in what they had to say. I would feel that is obvious.
Or should he have just let CNN turn the press conference into a back and forth between them and Trump?

Yes, it's a form thereof.Incorrect. Trump accused CNN of wrongdoing and then refused to allow the CNN reporter a chance to defend himself.
Do you feel networks are guaranteed rebuttals at press conferences not about them if they feel they have been slighted by something said?

So if someone feels something negatively they don't have to respect them when they don't have facts to support their claims. Surtur, you're a train wreck of logic.
What I'm simply saying is acting as if CNN was owed a rebuttal right then and there is silly.
So no, you don't get to repeatedly try to interrupt someone at a press conference because they said something about your news organization.

It's honest practice to allow the person you just accused of wrongdoing a chance to defend themselves, instead of using your position of power to bully them into silence. Seriously, just move to Russia at this point.

So Trump had specifically called out this reporter, not CNN as a whole?

Good lord. Trump called out CNN as being fake(noted above); the news agency the reporter works for and represents, why he wanted a chance to defend CNN and by extension himself. Why is this so hard for you.
