Once again, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders put grandstanding CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta in his place, calling out his “unnecessary tone” during a press briefing on Wednesday.
…
Sanders answered, “I certainly think, as I stated a moment ago, we support a free press but we are also for a fair press and I think that those things should go hand in hand, and there’s a certainly responsibility by the press to report accurate information. I think a number of people…”
Acosta interrupted, “Is there a responsibility on the part of the president?”
“I’m not finished,” Sanders fired back. “I think a number of people in this room do this every single day. They do their best every day to provide fair and accurate information, certainly support that. And that’s one of the reasons I’m standing here taking your questions and a lot of times taking your questions — in a tone that’s completely unnecessary, unneeded, and frankly doesn’t help further the conversation or help the American people get any more information in a better way, which is your job and my job, and that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m going to move on.”
