Now CNN’s Jim Acosta Wants Journalists To Protest In Front Of The White House

CNN’s Jim Acosta is still having a temper tantrum about being told his network sucks by Trump supporters in Florida this week. CNN spends 24 hours a day attacking Trump and his supporters but Jim can’t handle it when anyone pushes back. Now he’s saying he thinks journalists should hold a protest in front of the White House.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Acosta: Journalists Should Chant ‘We’re Not the Enemy of the People’ in Front of the White House

CNN correspondent Jim Acosta went on a lengthy rant against White House attacks on the media on Thursday, suggesting he and his fellow reporters chant on Pennsylvania Avenue “we’re not the enemy of the people” in protest against President Donald Trump’s claims that they are.

 

Acosta has had a series of public spats with Trump, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other Trump officials, and he frequently tweets about his efforts to get questions answered. Trump has called Acosta “fake news,” and he has become a target of fervent Trump supporters, who were seen jeering and cursing him at a rally in Florida in a widely shared video.

And CNN would cover it 24/7

Unless he took an egg to the face.

I don't think even CNN believes it could avoid comparisons to the Trump supporter who took the same treatment under the watchful eye, and indifference of the media.

Acosta loves this, or at least he should. No one would have any idea who he was if it wasn't for Trump.

Or maybe he genuinely is this upset. In which case he's even dumber than he looks.

I thought the media was supposed to report the news, not be the news.

He’s truly an idiot. Persuasion theory says you don’t use negation in a phrase because people don’t “hear” the “not”. He might as well be chanting “we’re the enemy of the people “.

Trump could not hire a better foil.

(foil noun (COMPARISON) ​ [ C ] someone or something that makes another's good or bad qualities all the more noticeable: The older, cynical character in the play is the perfect foil for the innocent William.)

Acosta is starting to act like David Hogg’s older, even wimpier brother.

Little Jimmy PeePee Pants throws at least six toddler tantrums per day. It’s 100 percent predictable.

Make no mistake, he’s LOVING all the attention. If it weren’t for DJT, he would be a totally anonymous mediocre “reporter.” Career-wise,PeePee Pants owes EVERYTHING to Trump, without Trump he’s a nothing nobody mite on a zit on a flea’s @ss.

“But, he’s already protesting INSIDE the WH. good grief”

exactly ...

still, i wish they would do this anyway (though i know they won’t) because most people in our country already hate the media and this would just be another layer of icing on that cake ...

Perhaps not an enemy, but you guys have certainly have chosen sides. You are manning the barricades with the Socialist Democrat party so if not an “enemy” certainly you are the opposition to the people’s will.

Is Acosta one of the white men (boys?) the NY Times editorial board wants to kill more of?

Sometimes these things are more easily resolved than at first seems the case.

5 people behind Acosta are looking at phones or iPad. Sorry, Jimmy, but even your colleagues aren’t listening.
