I suggest you direct your rage whining to the appropriate recipient.

What in your expert opinion, should be posted in this forum?

And please answer in the appropriate thread WP and try not to shit up this one, mate.

Reporters need to have better manners and taste than to do something like this.


They are just trying to stir things up and "create" a news event.

[Ducbutter]

Nah, Rooster sidetracked your stellar news thread with his grammar critique. I just called him out on it and you took offense for some reason. Goose and gander, pal.

Luvin these drive-bys Duc.

Posting off topic to bitch about people being off topic is...interesting.

As is the pedantry of using a word like....pedantry?...on a hooker board?

I didn't really think of this as a Troll Thread. I suppose it is! Fine by me!

And it... ummm....pulled you in too..

Back to the topic!

Trump treats everyone like shit. Reporters, politicians, leaders of other countries. Sooner or later, he'll get pissed at MBS and
say something shitty about him too.

How is it a Troll Thread to criticize him for this? The guy has normalized childish, unprofessional behavior. The President of the United States. I know this is trivial compared to things that are more important (like sucking up to a murdering dictator). But still, we are the laughing stock of the rest of the world. It fucking sucks. Fuck him.

The reporter question was an attempt at trolling. Maybe they and Trump both need to improve.


But they won't.

There was a reason. And it is journalism when you can get a question at the source. What better time to ask the guy about it being his first time available in the USA and the WH since event she asked about?

Softer and gentler like a Fox reporter?
HA! Forgive me. We all know foxy ain't about the news.
Those in doubt, see about them paying nearly $1 billion for lying.

Room for improvement on both side, true.
One party holds the line for decorum alot closer than the other party.

[VitaMan]

Because that topic has been discussed ad nauseum. There wasn't going to be anything to come out
of it.


The reporter was trolling, plain and simple.

Nah, they had the guy on the podium (so to speak). It was a press conference. When was the first time the American media asked MBS about this to his face?

Dude, that's their job. Do I think there should be a higher standard of decorum when it comes to presidential press conferences? SURE,there used to be. But then we didn't have a clown running the circus, did we?

I think everybody should be held to the same standard of "manners," don't you?

Unless you think this guy gets a pass... if you do, then I'd like to know why.

This was like when someone has had cancer, got treated......but still all the reporters do is keep asking
about your cancer.


Reporters need to do better.

That you probably had to look up the word is...hilarious.

That you personify the word and then question if it's appropriate on a hooker board is...ironic.

That you think that any US president (or anyone else for that matter) will be able to deal with Saudi Arabia going forward without dealing with MBS is... precious.

The fact that you had to adopt another handle to keep posting here is... sad.

Here's a little thought experiment.
Let's imagine that Obama visited the UK in 2014 and had a joint presser with PM Cameron. At said presser a journalist from Al Jazeera got up and asked Obama about his extra-judicial killing of a US citizen (the 16 year old Awlaki kid) inside the borders of a sovereign nation. And let's say that Cameron dressed down the reporter as Trump did. Would you look on Cameron's actions with the same disdain you do Trump's? Why or why not?
