There is a difference in reporting the news and using news to incite violent emotion.... You should look at old Walter Cronkite or Edward R Morrow clips for real reporting.

It was created by Ted Tuner a BIG LEFTIE along with his Hanoi Jane Fonda wife and has been hard left since its inception. Where have you been all these years?

"to boost their ratings"

Hasn't worked:
"TOTAL DAY
"CNN: 713,000 total viewers – down 13% (232,000 in 25-54 – down 12%)"

"PRIMETIME: 8-11PM/ET
CNN: 985,000 total viewers – down 17% (341,000 in 25-54 –down 16%)

Well at least that's heartening. Hopefully it's just that the radicals leftists are so violent and loud that they seem so many. Hopefully there are more everyday great Americans who aren't in lockstep with these extremists.

Apparently you don't watch it. I don't either but I have seen enough clips to know that they do report negatively about President Trump. Even more so recently.

Sounds like a CNN report.

Let's hope so BUT when the leaders of the Dems such as Nancy Pelosi comes out and says stupid things like she is surprised that there are not more protests and civil disobedience in the streets she is actually calling for violence because that is how many of these protests end. How about Maxine Waters that is constantly going on rants to whip up her followers to "IMPEACH 45!" She is one angry woman.



Has the Left ever come out to denounce groups like BLM when they turn violent or how about ANTIFA?

Whoever stands behind a bunch of masked hoodlums that are out for trouble are part of the problem.

How about the unruly mob at Berkley that violently blocked guest speakers and the people that wanted to hear them from having their meeting and violating their first amendment rights? The leaders of the Left seemed to approve of those actions.



When the mob, angry that a cop had to shoot a criminal, was chanting things like "pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon" and "what do we want? dead cops, When do we want them? NOW!" and the Left said nothing to denounce this then they are part of the problem.


Obama did nothing to slow the violence in his Chicago in fact his Democratic buddies there halted the stop and frisk approach to preventing crime because they thought it was unfairly targeting black guys. Well if it is the black guys that are carrying weapons and drugs in their predominantly black neighborhoods then guess what, the Police are not going to be stopping white people in a generally crime free neighborhood.



There are many extremists on the Left and they go all the way to the top and that is frightening for the future of our country.

Trump has his faults but in the end he simply wants to enforce existing laws such as those involving illegal immigration and the Left hates him for it. If the Left is against the law that means they are for the criminals which is crazy.

As a result, I wouldn't expect them to get a warm reception from a gathering of right-wingers.

This is absolutely NOT something new in America and frankly news crews have been attacked in the past...all he got was heckling which he tried to turn into bigger news by imagining how it could have gotten worse. That's not exactly what they teach journalists...imagine and report eh? lol.

This reporter works for a FOR PROFIT CORPORATION that has decided to take an opposing political stance so just like I'd expect to see a Fox News truck get booed or whatnot at a pro-illegal rally due to their stances I'm not too shocked by this.
Yup, CNN Continues to be last:

CNN boss Jeff Zucker calls this the "golden time of CNN" but it must be fools gold.

With July over, CNN finds themselves in a familiar spot in the ratings.....dead last.

Once again, Fox News sits on top of the numbers with MSNBC a distant second and CNN dragging up the rear.
CNN Continues to be Last

I found this interesting:

Quote:
Isha Sesay was an Anchor at CNN.

She worked as the newsreader on Anderson Cooper's show, she had a show on HLN and most recently worked at CNN Los Angeles.

But now she has quit CNN and her reason will not surprise you in the very least. In fact, the only thing that surprises us, is that more people at CNN have not quit for this very same reason.

“It’s all so Trump-focused,” she explains. “He sucked all of the oxygen out of the room. The media is following that lead to the exclusion of almost everything else, in a meaningful way. For me, personally, it’s not what I want to spend all my time doing.” There is so much else going on in the world and you can feel Sesay’s frustration that it’s not being covered. “After a while, I want to do more coverage of the Ebola outbreak, of the elections in Liberia, or any number of things that are happening. I’m ready to take control of what I’m talking about.”
This Says it All

To make your statement accurate (for once) you should have said "*specific* leaders of the FBI" not "the FBI (as a whole)" but that would dilute/foil your attempt at some kind of correlation as he's not attacked "The FBI".

A fail as usual...

Acosta broke the cardinal rule of news reporting. Never become the story.

A simple reporting of the facts and then a comment along the lines of "I guess they don't like me here!" said with a self deprecating grin would have put all those people to shame, they might have even respected him more for it. Instead, he assumed the fetal position and whimpered. This ensures that he gets it tenfold next time.
