‘You Are Fake News!’: Trump and CNN’s Jim Acosta Get Into Shouting Match at Presser
mediaite.com ^ | 1/11/17 | Justin Baragona

During President-elect Donald Trump’s press conference today, Trump took aim at “fake news” regarding the release of an unverified dossier by Buzzfeed, calling them a “failing piece of garbage.” Following that, he ended up getting into an argument with a CNN reporter, who he also called out during the presser over their report on a two-page synopsis they claim was presented to Trump.

With Trump looking to call on other reporters, Jim Acosta yelled out, “Since you are attacking us, can you give us a question?”

“Not you,” Trump said. “Your organization is terrible!”

It wasn’t a shouting match. The CNN guy was being a noisy boor and Trump was trying to move on. Trump was quite patient, telling him not to be rude.

It was the CNN goon who was shouting, Trump wasn’t, so there was no “shouting match”.

CNN should have its press credentials revoked. That way they can just run with #fakenews 24/7/365

My son is eight and he’s had eight, not the typical 67 at this point.

Another misleading headline. Only one was shouting, and he still lost the match.

It’s all the leftist freaks have left at CNN, fake news, fake headlines.

I remember when schools used to teach how to recognize propaganda.

Now they only repeat propaganda and expect everyone to help them spread it.

mediaite - FAKE headline.

Only the CNN reporter was shouting. There can be no shouting match if only one is doing it.

If Trump wins this round (yet to be seen, but it appears he will), then CNN will have suffered a mortal wound. They can recover, only because the left will prop them up. But this may signal a major shift that changes the press equation forever.

Trump hardly raised his voice at all, and they called it a shouting match. Couldn’t just stick to the real news and mention that CNN’s moron on the scene was yelling at the President Elect.

I’ve noticed from personal experience that if someone doesn’t like what you’re saying, many times they’ll tell you to lower your voice because they have no counter argument. It’s meant as a subtle put-down, and to shut you up.

I find that a f-— y— generally works.

Correct. That's called a hissy fit around here. The left can't stand being ignored.

Fake CNNews is still holding onto that story and asking if Trump ever called Putin to coordinate the hacking. What losers.
