Was Jim Acosta's accosting of Trump respectful reporting?

There is always a danger when television reporters get too aggressive that the subject matter in hand gets lost in the torrent of repeated and increasingly heated questioning, and the reporter himself or herself becomes the story. Jim Acosta, chief White House correspondent for CNN, fell into this trap at the infamous post-midterms Trump press conference. He stood up and stayed standing up demanding answers to his questions about the caravan of migrants approaching the US border, his voice getting louder and louder as he insisted on the President of the United States giving him a nice juicy quote he could then blast about on his programme. Now I'm all in favour of asking hard questions of anyone in authority but I can tell you from years, no, decades, of experience of being a reporter and attending press conferences around the world, there are two sorts of journalists who generally drive the rest of us mad when we're trying to do our job and get some answers to OUR questions: first are the interlopers who somehow have managed to get a press card to attend the press conference, representing some organisation no one has heard of, and then ask some fatuous, long-winded, highly political or personal question which isn't really a question but is more of a statement; second are the pompous, self-important television reporters who know that their cameraman is lapping up every moment he or she is on his or her feet and sounds off with a belligerent, finger-pointing question and won't sit down until either the president/prime minister/etc is driven potty or the rest of us tell him/her to shut the f...up and let us get a word in edgeways. Jim Acosta is a veteran and pretty good at his job but yesterday he became boorish and, yes, over-aggressive, and yes, somewhat rude, and as a result he is all over the papers, his name in lights and roars of support from the media citing freedom of the press, freedom of expression etc. Acosta has been suspended from entering the White House and it is as if the world has come to an end. I think the US is full of brilliant reporters, print and radio and television. But personally I squirm when a reporter gets too full of himself, as in this case. It doesn't help the cause of journalism for a reporter to bully the President of the United States or anyone else. Far better to ask your question with respect, and if the president refuses to answer, that I guess is his right even if it doesn't suit CNN's purposes. The person I know well on CNN is Barbara Starr, the veteran Pentagon Correspondent. She will not hesitate to ask tough, well-thought-out questions and she is excellent at trying to put whatever Pentagon official/secretary of defence/general/admiral or whoever is before her on the spot. But she is always respectful, never heckles or shouts, just firm. That's my sort of reporter.
