"But all you do is attack those who disagree with you," Cuomo said. "You can't do that on the world stage."
"Yeah, I laughed too.
Apparently, Chris Cuomo,
Like the rest of my media shills,
Has been asleep since 2009.
Death to America!"

CNN's Chris Cuomo interviewing Donald Trump.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump clashed with CNN anchor Chris Cuomo during an unusual interview on Wednesday morning. During a lengthy exchange, Trump repeatedly trashed a CNN reporter covering his campaign, Sara Murray, as Cuomo defended her.
"I'm getting the biggest crowds by far," Trump said early in the interview. "Sara Murray didn't report it very well, because she never flips the camera to show the lines. I think she's absolutely terrible, your reporter."
Trump, who frequently attacks big-name media personalities, continued to drop insult after insult against Murray.
"You know she's a top-notch reporter," Cuomo told Trump, who insisted otherwise.
They soon moved to other confrontational topics. Cuomo defended the CNN-moderated Democratic primary debate from Trump's attacks. He asked Trump to clarify his financial support from his father, who helped jump-start Trump's real-estate empire. And Cuomo asked Trump why he so aggressively attacked his Republican rivals.
"But all you do is attack those who disagree with you," Cuomo said. "You can't do that on the world stage." He later added: "Here's the point: You cannot effectively think that you're going to ... be president by just attacking the opponents all the time. It has to be what you're going to do, what is positive, how you will do it."
Trump said he did, in fact, provide a positive vision of what he would do in the White House. The businessman then pivoted back to complaining about Murray for not broadcasting the size of the crowd at his Tuesday book-signing event at Trump Tower.

Bull....
Trump attacks people who don't report on Trump in the way that Trump wants them to report on Trump.
Case in point: The CNN reporter who was the subject of Trump's rant today. He attacked her, repeatedly and personally, for the grave sin of not showing video of the line of people waiting to get in to Trump's book signing. That's it. Trump wanted the report to show how YUUUUUUGE the crowd was, and because it didn't, he attacked the reporter.
Sometimes, the guy acts like a thin-skinned, petulant child. This was one of those times.
Cuomo had to defend Sara or she would have slapped him like an Uber Driver.
"But all you do is attack those who disagree with you," Cuomo said. "You can't do that on the world stage."
"Yeah, I laughed too.
Apparently, Chris Cuomo,
Like the rest of my media shills,
Has been asleep since 2009.
Death to America!"
Trump needs to hire his own people to stream these kind of events live over the Net. He could just bypass the media and stop expecting them to show the massive crowds turning out to see him. Ive thought this from day one when he first announced.
I wonder what OKeefe and his crew is doing these days?
A few.
I understand your point but when a crowd the size of Trump's signing - and the fact that he's running for president - should have been reason enough to include a wide shot. i.e. "By midday, a line snaked around a Midtown Manhattan city block." It seems that a line like that should rate some space, even if just a thumbnail, no matter who was signing.
Why yes I have. I saw one yesterday of a Carson book signing.
It was at a Costco and they showed the entire crowd.
They started filming when they approached the crowd and continued filming all the way up to the table where Carson was sitting.
Also, This is the same Sarah that reported on an event that Trump had several weeks ago.
She tweeted a picture of an area with empty chairs and made a snarky comment.
What she failed to say was that the chairs were empty because all the guests were standing up and crowding the stage.
