The funniest part was when Sarah Huckabee Sanders complained about being mocked for her looks. Did she forget that Trump himself mocked multiple women's looks? There are endless videos showing all the times HER BOSS mocked women including Carly Fiorina. And she's whining about it? What about all the Republicans and their mocking Hillary Clinton's looks? Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and indeed the entire Republican party, don't get to whine about looks being mocked when they are the definition of guilty on that score. She never ever gets to whine about that and neither does any other Republican woman.
FOX took Obama to task and even when his press secretary or Obama himself refused to take questions from FOX they NEVER incited the type of divide and HATE that CNN, NBC, and MSNBC has. I never heard anyone from the Tea Party say harass every and any Obama official as often as possible no matter who they are with or where they were.
Who runs the press briefings, the Press or the Press Secretary? Hint, it's NOT Acosta. So, when the Press Secretary doesn't answer or ignores questions or Reporters it's HER room not theirs. That is what's got Acosta all confused, he seems to think HE runs the place.
She is not there to be at their beck and call or to put up with their B.S.. They are there to listen to a briefing and pose questions if the Press Secretary decides to take them or ignore them.
It's got nothing to do with moral this or that, it's HER JOB to follow and voice the policies of her BOSS period, end of story...
That's what happens when idiots like Acosta try to become the news rather than report it. Like Judy Woodruff of PBS Newshour would say, "We try to take it and look at what is the phenomenon that the president is doing here, rather than ourselves try to access and judge every statement. We don’t feel as journalists that’s our role.”
Baby James didn't like people waving the middle finger his way in Florida. And yes, there was anger on display, but Baby James and his buds in the MSM have a blindspot when it comes to their responsibility for creating the anger.
Andrew Klavan has no problem pointing it out:
"Jim Acosta has the sadz. The untalented little man who rudely shouts unimportant questions at important people while in the employ of the ninth most trusted name in news out of ten, got heckled at a Trump rally in Tampa, Florida. Sad panda. The hecklers chanted "CNN sucks," which, okay, is true, but they were none too polite about it.
Acosta didn't like it. He reported, "Honestly, it felt like we weren’t in America anymore."
But, like virtually everything Acosta reports, this is just a reflection of his small-minded biases. The fact is, having a group of people scream at you and denigrate you is exactly what it feels like to be in America — if you don't happen to be a coastal elite. It has felt this way for the last twenty years at least. Every television show you watch, every movie, every woman's magazine, every comedian, and, yes, every news program tells you you suck. Your country sucks. Your culture sucks. Your religion and your morals suck. And you personally are one of those dumb-ass racists who clings to his Bible and talks funny."
I suspect a lot of you libs don't understand that Trump, for millions of Americans, has brought back a sense of pride in this country. It's fascinating that liberals weren't proud of this country until Obama went around the world disparaging America to everyone. It kind of makes you wonder what kind of mindset you need to hate your own country so much.

And CNN doubles down on its twisted bias with headlines like "Sarah Sanders jeered during tense exchange over relationship with media".
On further review of their website, it's not unusual to see self-promotion pieces like:
Anderson Cooper: This is a Tale of Two White Houses
Erin Burnett slams Trump's alternate universe
Way to go CNN...keep trying to make the news all about you.
And you couldn't even answer my comment about Sanders and turned it into "CNN is evil." My point is while Sanders isn't as anti-media as the man she represents, there is a problem with treating 90% of the media (and it isn't just CNN) as the enemy. Sean Hannity even agreed with Acosta's fears even though he has helped the Republicans push the media is the enemy narrative.

What question?? Furthermore, I expect journalists to act like journalists, not mean-spirited, self-promoting miscreants - that goes for CNN, Fox, and the likes of them.
If a single hair on Jim Acosta’s Head is touched, then liberals should start smacking around right wing journalists ON SIGHT in retaliation.
If the Trumptards wanna go that route, then so be it.
"Hello I'm desertdetroiter and I advocate for violent retribution against the Right. Let's escalate this thing into a full blown civil war!!" Seriously not helping dude. Plenty of hairs on plenty of heads have already been touched. I don't advocate for any violence, but what makes Jim Acosta so much more important than anyone else? Your side is already being plenty violent without the benefit of actual provocation.
The Left has been actively attacking the other side since before Trump took office and CNN seems to only report on the moments when Trump supporters actually fight back when the Left extremists attack them. The Left biased media seems to rather obsessively report on a lot of pro-Trumpers assaulting people which fits their narrative perfectly. Unfortunately, most of those stories turn out to be completely made up. How many times has some Muslim girl reported that somebody tore her hijab off and said something mean to them, only to find out later that she made the whole thing up? To date, I'm not sure there's a single case where that actually happened. How many attacks by Far Leftists did they try to pin on the Right -- mostly for lack examples of the actual Conservatives attacking people? It's a recurring thing at this point. But they'll report on the fake stories as long as it fits their narrative that Trump supporters are evil violent people.
The sad truth is that Russia succeeded beyond their wildest dreams at what they were actually trying to accomplish. They weren't really out to get any particular candidate elected. They were trying to sow division and conflict in the United States. We're doing exactly what they wanted us to. We're jumping at shadows and full of hatred. Not good.
