CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer called out Donald Trump for encouraging hostility toward journalists who cover his rallies.
Blitzer pleaded with Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway for the Republican nominee to take it easier on members of the press.
"They go to all the rallies, they're in this pen, he points to them, he sort of eggs the crowd on to go after them," Blitzer said. "And they're a lot of young journalists there. They're scared sometimes."
"I know them all, I respect them all," Conway began to answer, before Blitzer cut her off.
"He shouldn't be doing that," Blitzer fired back. "Could you talk to him and say to him, 'Mr. Trump, we only have a few days left. These are hardworking young journalists. They deserve some security.'"
Conway attempted to partially shift the blame to journalists themselves, who she said were being overly negative in their coverage of Trump.
"Their Twitter feed is for some of them, we've done an analysis, 85, 90% negative towards Donald Trump," Conway said. "You didn't hear anything good to say? There's nothing good to report that day that you would actually put in your Twitter feed? So I think the responsibility has to go both ways."
Trump supporters have redirected their anger to embedded journalists at his rallies. Some have described unusual levels of hostility they've encountered on the campaign trail.
On "The Situation Room" on Tuesday, Conway said she would relay Blitzer's request to the candidate, who she said was "probably watching right now."
If Trump was, the message fell on deaf ears. About 20 minutes later, at a rally in Tallahassee, Florida, Trump blasted the press once more.
"There is nothing more corrupt than those people," he said to roaring applause. "They are a corrupt group."

My heart bleeds for you...
Blitzer needs to find his safe place.
Poor little snowflake.

These are budding young whorenalists, trying to earn their way into the business by finding dirt at Trump rallies.
If they were fair and objective, they would be treated fairly.
But they are the enemy of the Trump movement. So why should he treat his enemies nice?
He should crush the and drive them before him, and listen to the lamentation of their women (like Wolf)
... “And they’re a lot of young journalists there. They’re scared sometimes...
If they werent committing journalistic malpractice, they could sleep with a clear conscience, couldn’t they???
Oh, the poor widdle journo-lists. How many of them have been beaten up by Trump supporters? Zero.
Now, how many Trump supporters have been beaten up by Clinton supporters egged on by “reporter” lies?
I watched Blitzer last night beating the crap out of a Trump spokesperson, and now this creep is begging Kelyanne to ask Trump to tone down his rhetoric? F U Wolf.
That would be $600 x 2.
If we can win 4 times, (there are only 2 Double Jeopardy’s, no?) then maybe we can dig Wolf out of his hole, LOL.
they are presstitutes
Hey Wolf, know what you are? YOU ARE A MEDIACRAT!!!!
Embrace the suck!
Do your job, Wolf, and Trump will leave you alone. Keep pushing your lefty propaganda and he’ll eviscerate you. With the public’s blessing.
That barturd is lucky this wasn’t the 19th century because the people would have been finding lamposts, feathers, tar, pitchforks and other blunt objects to straighten up these MSM weasels.
Wolfe is afraid that Trump will not allow CNN at the press conferences. I hope Trump hand picks the “journalists” allowed to attend.
Poor widdle journawists.
His first name is really Prince, middle name Rogers, last name Nelson, ... what that did for the world of music.”
What is “Purple Haze”?
Outstanding retort from the future press secretrary
Is that what he said? LOL
The press is getting the same respect that they have shown Republicans and Conservatives for decades — none. Their all out support for Clinton including hiding or down playing negative information on Hillary and pushing negative information on Trump even if untrue. The corrupt press is just too corrupt, stupid and immature to understand that. Blitzer can go to hell where the MSM belongs.
