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.

“The early reactions in the last 90 minutes have ranged from this is juvenile, ridiculous, idiotic, or wait no it’s just funny. He’s just having fun. Wait, no it’s actually scary, dangerous,” CNN Stelter said recently.
LOL
Running scared Stelter?
Afraid you may have no job?
so looking forward to Jim Acosta’s nervous breakdown
Yes, even though they let Ebola slide (and even proactively covered for him) when he actually did do something wrong, Trump’s behavior is what’s beyond the pale.
“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.””
Please Jim, let me know where to show up when the first “journalist” beat down is scheduled. There are any number of you I’d welcome a chance to take a poke at.
Silence the News Media = shooting a rabid dog.
CNN’s parent company sponsored the assassination play in the park, and they are worried about a video? I wonder when they sneak Kathy Griffin back on the payroll.
Silence?
A tweet is mightier than a billion dollar news oufit
“We Must ‘Stand Up’ to Trump”
Stand up to Trump? Is there anything more they can do? Or does he actually refer to standing up to Trump as opposed to stabbing him in the back? He is like a rabble rouser who, since he does not have any courage, seeks to stampede people in his pre-chosen direction.
Acosta is an idiot. Trump cannot and does not have the power to silence the media. There’s that First Amendment. But, he can fight fake news. He can throw the truth back at them.
He has freedom of speech just like Acosta ant the rest of the crooked MSM does.
The Ministry of Propaganda is really worried.
Their monopoly on information is lost.
The narrative no longer is accepted.
DJT can fight with the truth about fake news.
Gee after showing relentless pro Hillary bias during the campaign, a relentless effort to delegitimatize Trump before and after his election, ongoing antipathy, it should not be surprising that the MSM is not liked by the President and distrusted and not believed by a majority of the American people. The term “fake news” works because it accurately defines what has and is happening. The MSM may never have its credibility restored.

“looking forward to Jim Acosta’s nervous breakdown!”
We could start last week to celebrate his breakdown.
His break with reality began last week and is in full throttle!
The fake news from MSM with CNN leading the way has backfired on them. And has strengthened Trumps ties with supporters and brought
new supporters into the fold.
Keep it up CNN and Acosta.
Like that’s a bad thing?
These liars/omitters/obfuscators/distorters neded to be “silenced”. What duplicitous fools. LOL.
