CNN senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta phoned into Sunday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom to offer his latest meltdown/rallying cry for his liberal media cohorts, demanding that they and the rest of the country “stand up to” President Trump following his slams against the media or journalists will both be “hurt” and “silenced.”
After telling host Fredricka Whitfield about the calls to ignore or brush aside the President’s tweets, Acosta forcefully proclaimed that “we have to try the other approach, we have to stand up to this” by “confront[ing] this and say that it's wrong.”
“[M]y concern is, and I know it's shared by others, is that this kind of rhetoric, this kind of behavior is going to lead to a journalist being hurt and that's the thing I worry about. I hate that I'm worried about that on 4th of July weekend when we're all supposed to celebrating our freedoms, including the First Amendment, the right to free speech and a free press. That's what I'm concerned about,” Acosta added in the same tone Brian Stelter used all day.

Want this to go away? Tell the truth.
It really is that simple.
Stand up? They haven’t stopped criticizing since the early morning hours of November 9th. Slandering, degrading, mocking, trying to delegitimize...everyone from Trump, his team, his family...and all that voted for him. The jig is up and has been for a while now. Hopefully CNN, MSNBC and all the liberal rags go down in flames before long
After claiming there's no incitement in a play which portrays the assassination of the President—via brutal stabbing with multiple assailants—and after Kathy Griffin posts a photo depicting a simulated ISIS beheading with President Trump's bloody severed head—the Media is supposed to feel threatened by a cheesy and humorous WWE clip in which the CNN logo is used in place of the person's head?
Are they series? The Media—and CNN in particular—is becoming a laughingstock...
I thought that was already what you were doing Acostahole.
You ain’t man enough to stand up to Trump on your own.
You want little helpers with the dirty work.
Getting bored of headlines with this nobody’s name in them. I don’t even know who they’re talking about!
It’s time for a PIZZA PARTY Jim!
Invite all your friends from the DNC. Get extra cheese for all and plot your next moves.
Bastard.
You already are and Eason Jordan busted you for it......But it didn't change a thing did it?
I wonder if Acosta is on record with any comments about the play depicting the assassination of President Trump or any comments about CNN sponsoring that play?
No he won’t shut down the news media, but he will shut down (as is doing it) the FAKE NEWs Media.
CORRECTION:He’ll silence the Propaganda Machine.

Acosta must be vying with Obama in the ego department.
Well, Brain damage is to be expected after someone wakes up from an eight year long self induced Coma.
Who cares what this idiot thinks? They already call for impeachment and assassination! Reporter are one of the lowest form of life on this planet.
Don’t give them clicks or ratings. Starve the beast!
Sorry, I thought you pinged me.
Ha, ha! Jim, every day you show up for work, you contribute to the downfall of the fake news media. Suck on that.
