Jim Acosta and CNN report fake news, ie.. made up news. They deserve to suffer the consequences of their divisive acts.

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.
If something happens to a reporter because the Trump cult harms someone Trump will have their blood on his hands.

Not only will Trump not say that the press is not the people's enemy, he won't let Sarah Sanders say it.

If the Trumptards wanna go that route, then so be it.
The liberals have been violent for years against Republicans and the Trump administration officials. It started with ANTIFA. It was a left-wing maniac that shot up Republican lawmakers at a Softball game practice nearly killing Steve Scalise. You leave these facts out of your stupid statement. The fact that the hecklers going after Acosta were black and holding up signs that said black for Trump was completely left out of the reporting too. CNN and MSNBC can't show blacks supporting Trump and attacking the media as it disrupts their narrative. Knowingly not reporting the entire story accurately is FAKE NEWS.

You're joking, right? Obama was attending $1000 to $10,000 a plate fund raisers weekly for years in all the liberal elite cities while he was POTUS. His second term he was doing it twice a week. It was ok for him? Facts be damned with you leftist snowflakes.

There are so many examples where members of the Left have acted like vandals with a mob mentality whipped into a frenzy by fake news. It is ridiculous and you know it.



As for the Police we only need to look back several years to the Black Lives Matter movement that started out of a genuine concern after a black man was shot by a officer but the BLM movement turned into more of a terrorist organization that burned and looted, destroyed police cars and clashed with police. We heard chants in the streets to kill cops and in turn we had cops that were ambushed and shot.

When all of these terrible things were happening Obama did nothing but his like minded politicians often blamed the Police while giving the mob room to destroy.



It was and still is crazy and many on the Left see Police and any LEO as the enemy.
Today in NY we see Cuomo call ICE a terrorist organization waging a Jihad on immigrants
Nixon agreed with him and added to the sentiments by saying she will abolish ice. The nut Teachout chimed in and said she would arrest and prosacute ICE agents for doing their jobs. This is madness.

You reap what you sow.
In other words they seek truth and call a lie a lie. Truth is the enemy of this administration.

No, they lie, spin (lie) and obfuscate as much or more than the administration they complain about...

Acosta reminds me of a chatterbox drunk that I routinely sedate.

Looks like good old Jim Acosta decided to go after Sara Sanders today and basically got his hat handed to him. Maybe he'd be better off not acting like he OWNS or is the appointed head of the Press Corp.

Quote:
The press secretary was responding to similar allegations leveled against President Trump. Specifically, Acosta asked Sanders to say whether the press is indeed the “enemy of the people,” as her boss has controversially claimed, after Ivanka Trump broke with her father on the statement at an Axios event earlier Thursday.

“I think it would be a good thing if you were to say right here, at this briefing, that the press … are not the enemy of the people. I think we deserve that,” Acosta told Sanders.

Sanders pointed out that President Trump has “made his position known,” before the CNN senior White House correspondent interrupted – resulting in Sanders and Acosta talking over each other. From there, Sanders launched into a point-by-point rebuttal.

“It’s ironic, Jim, that not only you and the media attack the president for his rhetoric when they frequently lower the level of conversation in this country. Repeatedly, repeatedly the media resorts to personal attacks without any content other than to incite anger,” Sanders fired back.

I'm frightened of that crowd as well. They reminded me of the villagers in Frankenstein.

What are you talking about? Now the left is to blame for LE getting killed? Not the president who has been pushing anti-LE conspiracies for months? Disparaging LE is going to affect how much people respect them.

And you bet your ass this president is dangerous, and the reason people are alarmed is because this is what brutal dictators have done in the past. Tell everyone that the press is the enemy of the people. In the context of history--Trump is acting like Stalin, and he keeps getting worse and worse.

What other political rallies other than Herr Trump's have forced journalists to have secret service protection to get to their cars.

They are doing their job. Trump hates facts--especially if they are negative and related to him. So he lies and lies and lies, and his following believe the lies. He cannot handle the truth. Too bad. A person with that much power who abuses it or uses it for his own selfish evil purposes is dangerous.
