It was another week of aggression between Trump supporters and the mainstream media. During a Trump rally in Tampa, Florida on Tuesday, CNN correspondent Jim Acosta was lambasted with chants of “CNN sucks!” while covering the event. This prompted Acosta to go on twitter to blame Trump for the increasing hostility toward the media and to exclaim that “the press is not the enemy.”
Two days after the initial showdown between Acosta and the raucous Trump crowd, Acosta confronted Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a press briefing to ask her if she considered the press an enemy of the people. Sanders refused to say the press wasn’t the enemy and, again, Acosta went to Twitter in an outrage.
Scores of people shared in Acosta’s sentiment that Trump and his supporters’ demonization of the press was dangerous and undemocratic. But I think those people are forgetting to ask themselves an extremely important question: in what world is CNN a bastion of free and independent journalism?

Only the leftist media, which is 90% of them.
Yes, yes and yes. Bigtime
The problem isn’t the press per se, but low-information voters who don’t question what they hear from the press and consequently abuse their voting power.
The press is the not the enemy of the American people like Joseph Goebbels was not the enemy of the American people

YES.
Next redundant rhetorical question?
The people were chanting against Jim Acosta and CNN not the entire media, though much of it is really biased also. Jim Acosta and CNN are not the media. They are one very small insignificant part of the media.
It’s not about you Jim, oh wait, yes it is.
I heard Pat Caddell, the polster for Jimmie Carter, say on Sean Hannity’s show some time ago that the media was the biggest enemy of America. He was right!
The press is the enemy of truth and a pit of lies. I think this makes them, “The enemy of the people.”
The WH press briefing is not a place where SHS would be expressing her own opinion. Acosta is out of line asking her to give “her” thoughts or opinion on this, and Sarah should have told him so.
Is gravity still operational?
Yes.
It’s their enemy nevertheless.
Doesn’t matter that hey are too blind to see it.
ENEMY of the PEOPLE
Sulzberger is The Enemy of the People.
NY Times is The Enemy of the People.
the fraudulent leftist propagandist press IS
