Counterpoint: Jim acosta is trying to get a specific question answered, and not looking for a "unique Trump interview".

Some people in the press will lob softballs and push out puff pieces. Others will ask questions they feel the people* want answered. There's no way you could ask Trump "What are the exact contents of your tax returns" and get an answer other than "none of your business."

*"The people" may or may not be large indicative of the public at large, and may instead represent a media outlet's primary consumers.
