White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders Rips Reporters A New A$$
Jim Acosta recently tried to give his media buddies a pep talk. He’s such a whiner.
One way to address the briefing is for reporters to stick together when the press sec cuts somebody off. Ideally we could and should insist on answers if somebody is cut off. We don't do that as much as we should. Problem is there is so little time and so many pressing q's.

They’ve got to stick together and stand up against Sarah Sanders (you know because she’s the TERRIBLE BEAST).
She wasn’t having ANY of it.

“I think that if you spent a little bit more time reporting the news instead of trying to tear me down you might actually see that we’re working hard, trying to provide you good information, and trying to provide that same good information to the American people,” she added.
A bit more from the briefing:
