"First he came for the female reporters, and I said nothing because I wasn't a female reporter."
The silence of media bosses is an embarrassing scandal.

“You’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. A terrible reporter.”

Trump again attacks a Black female reporter, ABC’s Rachel Scott, for asking about releasing the full boat strike video - which he said he would do 5 days ago

And the other journalists stay silent🐔

Reporters who sit in silence and then go on as if it doesn’t matter. He continues to belittle and berate the press because they have been letting him. Their corporate employers should demand better treatment of their reporters and stand up for them. 🤬

how she can stand there and NOT talk back to him. President or not, he has no right to speak to people that way. If it were me, there'd be no way I would be able to contain my mouth from spitting out, as tactfully as I could, that he was full of shit. Maybe I'm just a long forgotten segment of the female population that grew up always being told to be "good"... be "quiet"... let the "people who know speak"... didn't work then. It'd damn sure not work today!

...is to not bring yourself into the story, or make the story about you. I know it's tempting to think hitting back is the appropriate response, but it goes against the ethos of the profession.

but it certainly goes to self respect. No job is worth the loss of self respect. And I HAVE quit good paying jobs in my career because of shenanigans like this and other things... like cheating the customer.

Dumbass thinks reporters are supposed to be his personal stenographers. Unfortunately, too many in the mainstream media are exactly that.

Fatso has a real problem with any woman who isn't a cheerleader, a skinny little thing under 35 who wears short skirts and high, high heels and spends her time telling him ow great he is.

Any woman who was hired for how well she does a job seems to be a deep threat to him. i WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE POINTING THIS out, that Fatso blows a fit every time a woman asks him a question, espcially one he doesn;t want to answer.
