Acosta Decrees in Meltdown: We Must ‘Stand Up’ to Trump or He’ll ‘Silence’ the News Media

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.

Republican politicians have already been injured, in part due to the irresponsible reporting of the media.
