Biased media reap what they sowed with Trump
The Boston Herald ^ | 08-02-1018 | Herald Staff

If the media can dish it out, they should be prepared to take it.

Tuesday night, at a Trump rally in Tampa, Fla., Jim Acosta complained about the crowd booing him, even making it part of his on-air bit with Wolf Blitzer.

“You can hear there is a chorus of boos and other chants from this Trump crowd here — saying things like ‘CNN sucks,’ ‘go home’ and ‘fake news,’ ” Acosta complained.

Then, in what has become a ritual with Acosta, he signed off with some virtue-signalling and then gave a nod to his own, insurmountable dedication to journalism in the face of danger.

“We’re staying right here,” he declared from a heightened riser and separated from the crowd by a steel fence. “We’re going to do our job and report on this rally to all of our viewers tonight.”

The problem is that the Trump Derangement Syndrome is really running amok among the political Left. It's turning into a MAD magazine parody....

That in a nutshell is the attitude of the left, they can do as they please and we are supposed to sit down and shut up.

We’ve hated and distrusted the Media LOOOONG before President Trump came along.

True, it goes at least as far back as Cronkite for those who knew what was going on as opposed to what he was reporting...

We the people never enter their minds, that is one of the huge problems.

Sarah said nothing until the restaurant employees put the incident on social media gloating, then people began to question her about it so she posted what happened, just the facts on social media. She never did make a big deal about it, in fact other details like the owner continuing to harass her in-laws after they left to go to another restaurant only came out later.

Thanks for the reminder, Tammy.

I knew she did the Class Act thing to do and not the idiotic “look at me, look at me.”

CNN covers Trump rallies to keep the hate alive. People want to hear what negative spin CNN can find, even if the message is positive.
