Noah Gray, a CNN producer covering the Trump campaign rally Thursday in Kissimmee, FL, uploaded this video to Twitter showing a Donald Trump rally attendee shouting at journalists covering the event. "Go home!" he said. "You are traitors! I am an American Patriot!"

When asked his name, the man replied: "I am a Patriot! And your name is 'Traitor.'"

"To be clear, the man came up to me as a was typing & said what I put in quotes, and then I started filming him & his interactions w/press," Gray Tweeted later in the evening.

I’m surprised at how close and exposed the press area was to the crowd walking by.

A little raw in the delivery, but this is the basic frame that I see as the most effective. The opposite of a globalist is not a “nationalist”, it’s a patriot. And the opposite of a patriot: traitor.

“they are feeling the heat for their blind devotion to Hillary.”

Their jobs, and their popularity at the Gay Bar, depend on that blind devotion to Hillary, or any Democrat for that matter.

CNN and the liberal media are the enemy. They’ve made this abundantly clear.

I just don’t see any reason to be civil to these people anymore.

I agree with the Trump supporter. Traitors abound in the media.

Ditto.

It surprises me that they're surprised. They know perfectly well they're producing an incessant drumbeat of anti-Trump stories, many of which are simply falsifications. There is no sign of the customary tongue-clucking by ombudspersons about How Did This Happen And We'll See It Doesn't Happen Again, not a word, just a shrug and it's on to the next lie. That's been going on for a long time now.

True, it is a closed community, but the purpose of that community is to take the public pulse, and when that role goes from recording to affecting to manipulating to dictating, that ability is lost. Hence, perhaps, the surprise.

I don't see a cure in sight. If they win, it will be a self-validating victory mandating more of the same. If they lose, they get to slide back into an adversarial role that they've fooled themselves into believing is a sign of a healthy press, which can be, but it can also be the sign of an utterly compromised, partisan, and controlling press. The lack of introspection on the part of supposedly intelligent people will keep them from understanding the difference.

Just like they treat us. That is what I think we should have been doing for some time now.

I wish the media knew exactly how hated they are.

I think they are beginning to understand. Lots of moaning on twitter.

They convinced themselves that not only are they above us but they could always exert their control. They’re experiencing cognitive dissonance and their feeble minds eject the truth because it can’t be integrated.

I was at a political rally a few years ago. Some media guy kept yelling at me to put down my sign. I kept ignoring him. He needed to get his camera view past me to do a tight shot to show the sparse conservative crowd.

My wife kept telling me to move my sign until I explained what the little cockroach was trying to do.
