You reap what you sow.
It's certainly interesting to see Acosta and his network get all up in arms when the crap firehose they've been using is turned on THEM. Panties all in a twist when they're the recipient.

Sorry Acosta, if you want sympathy look in the dictionary between sh#t and Syphili$.

He is an insecure (and possibly guilty) man who cannot tolerate criticism.





It is not that free when it swings so far Left that they are about to spin around.



It is insane how the Lefty media, morning talk shows, late night so called comedy shows, Hollywood, Lefty news papers etc etc.. attack Trump on every single little thing he does or says while conveniently under reporting or simply skipping over anything positive he does.



It is easy for anyone to see that has their eyes open that the media is heavily biased.



Trump calls it Fake News. I would call it Misguiding in they only report half of the story.

Excuse me? My comment was to a member who said they didn't read any mainstream media, and I simply asked where they got their news.

But for some reason, you felt the need to chime in with some partisan BS that liberals don't follow balanced news sources? With all due respect, that's a mighty bigoted remark on your part and not worthy of a serious answer.

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.

Well, with the old man in the White House calling the free press "the enemy of the people," I'd be worried too. If you're in the press and it doesn't at least make you pause for a moment, there's something wrong with you.

No, they shouldn't. Not at all in any way.

Ahh Ok Mr CNN star do you realize that you are comparing a few hundred people at a pro Trump rally to millions of your own kind that are calling for ICE to be abolished and these are the same people that for years have been making Police Officers into the bad guys which is now causing them to be attacked with more frequency?


Our Law enforcement agencies are not the enemy but the Left is making them out to be and guess what people are being hurt and killed because of it.

So you are saying it is OK for trumpers to threaten Americans they disagree with...... because you don't like some people calling for the end of "ICE" (reminder ICE is only 15 years old and border patrol is NOT ICE...)

The press is supposed to hold the politicians accountable. Not publish puff pieces for them.
