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."

Karma comes to the lying Obama-Hillary presstitutes.
Karma, baby.
How can anyone with a name like Wolf Blitzer be taken seriously?
Wasn’t one of Groucho’s characters named Wolf J. Flywheel?
Seriously, as a retired newspaperman — one of the honest ones, if I may flatter myself — I hereby volunteer as an investigator in any Trump-led effort to root out media corruption.
After 25 years in the biz, I can usually tell at a glance who is pushing an agenda, and who is rendering an honest report.
HA! Very well put!
Good gosh - I hope someone feeds him on a daily basis.
He probably cannot operate a can opener. Or shouldn’t be allowed to, anyways.
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead .... it’s been working well thus far, why quit now? The press is relentlessly anti-Trump and should receive no quarter/mercy. BTW, it’s not the Trumpsters who are beating up people at Trump rallies, it’s the $1,500 & an I-phone/per riot Democrat thugs-for-hire. Somebody hand Wolf a binky to suck on.
Hilarious!

Careful - you may spit up your coffee on the screen!
Wolfie, the childish liar, wants non-liberals to take it easy on him and his fellow liberals. FU Wolfie!
Wolfie, ol’sport, how much coverage did you give the O’Keefe videos? Want to get a little respect? Show a little honesty.
If you want to be treated fairly, act fairly yourself. You get what you give.
I have no sympathy for these people
Exactly. Go look at the twitter accounts of the journalists “reporting” on Trump campaign. 99% snark and hit pieces on Trump. They rarely cover the substance of what he says in a neutral manner.
We report...you decide.
