No playbook needed - just try factual, non-biased reporting. No?

[DoughtyOne]

Like perhaps reporting the truth from now on?

Now there’s a novel idea.

[Enchante]

Try honesty! That’s the “best policy” and the best “playbook” Mr. Acosta.

[HombreSecreto]

June 16, 2015 - Trump announces candidacy

December 12, 2017 - CNN realizes they need to adjust their “journalism” tactics

Further proof that journalists are the best third rate minds in the country.

[Slyfox]

First, get rid of all the copies of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."

Then, fire all the people who had a copy in their desk.

Then, close up shop cuz you are done.

[1Old Pro]

He is a partisan hack activist pretending to be a journalist.

[xp38]

Their all out political assault isn’t working .

[seawolf101]

They have tried everything but honesty. What a novel idea.

[mass55th]

Give up Jim, you’re not smart enough to think up a new playbook for Trump.

[BenLurkin]

They’re going to stop being partisan hacks who constantly shill for the Democrat Party?

[ClearCase_guy]

The goal — “Get Trump”.

Strategy #1 — FAIL
Strategy #2 — FAIL
Strategy #3 — FAIL
Strategy #4 — FAIL

Finally — after more than 2 year, the media comes to the conclusion: “We need another new strategy”.

[MagUSNRET]

Acosta is one of those people that are just begging to have the ever lovin snot slapped out of them!

[Little Pig]

Didn’t Acosta just get bum-rushed out of Trump’s Defense Bill signing for disrupting the event by shouting out questions?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah they mean after 8 years of kissing Obama’s ass because they agreed with his far left Commie agenda..and since they totally FAILED in getting Hillary Clinton elected..they will do EVERYTHING in their power now to destroy Trump because they hate his agenda

[Lopeover]

You don’t need a play book. You need journalism 101, ethics, objectivity, and good manners.

And if you want to really live in a communist country renounce your citizenship and MOVE!

[LostPassword]

Maybe they can try something that used to be called “journalism”. While the profession has had many ups and downs, there are good “playbooks” in the form of textbooks and professional ethics manuals - focus on the ones from the “up” periods of the profession.

Depends on what their goal is. My guess is “journalism” by the academic definition wosn’t accomplish what they want.

[AndyTheBear]

How about the playbook where the media is honest with their viewers rather than being lying Leftwing political hacks out to manipulate their viewers?

[daviscupper]

The Jim Acosta’s of the world are befuddled. They never had an opponent who punches back. Sure, Ronald Reagan for the most part out started them by going over them and communicating directly to the American people.

Trump via Twitter communicates directly to the people but he also punches directly back at the media and anyone else who takes shots at him. The media is shocked that anyone would stand up to them.

They really do not know what to do. Silver lining for the media. Trump is good copy and brings in billions to the networks at the same time their liberal bias is exposed and credibility is shredded.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

What kind of playbook, you untalented hack???

How about just reporting the news as it happens, not with your bulls**t spin...
