The fact that the Mainstream Media acts like the Soviet Union-era Pravda doesn't help things for the MSM. Indeed, they are often flummoxed when going to "flyover country."

Hahaha….Acosta thinks he can fool us into thinking they haven’t been resisting yet. We all know they’ve been part of the Democrat effort to get rid of our President since he was elected, and we do not appreciate it. We put up with their a**hole emperor for eight miserable years, and we expect the same from the Left now.

What is “the resistance” they drone on about? What are they resisting.

Conservatives are resisting a march toward government tyranny and socialism in America. What do liberals think they are resisting, our resistance?

If we are the antiestablishmentarians, are they not the antidisestablishmentarianists? They want the corrupted status quo and we want to unseat the corrupted establishment government.

I agree with Acosta...

He’s correct except CNN doesn’t practice journalism...

CNN is the conservative’s gift from heaven.
A more idiotic group of clowns could not be made up.

I guess there is no chance for self-reflection, you know, maybe all those people have a point.

Nah, let's double down on the dumb.

If journalism keeps lying, being disingenuous and hypocrites, then yeah, they should be attacked - verbally that is; not inciting riots as they did when Trump was elected vs 0bama being emaculated by the MSMLSD.

There are attacks on propaganda outlets, such as CNN/MSNBC/NYT/WaPo/ABC/NPR, but I have seen no attacks on real journalists.

Hey, Acosta! This is what Union general William T. Sherman had to say on the matter:

“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman

He says "the resistance" like it's a thing.

What a douche.

Of course you should resist!

If you didn’t have a politically driven agenda and what you published was criticized, you’d decide whether a review was necessary to determine if you are having problems with accuracy because your responsibility to your readers would compel you to want to.

IF you DID have a politically driven agenda and what you puked out was “attacked”, you’d attack your attacker.

Derp. Acosta, could you be any more obvious?

Sounds like Muslims, constantly on the attack, and whining in fear that their victims might someday fight back.

Yup. Subversive, lying, anti-America, anti-constitution “leftist revolutionary” claptrap is NOT journalism. It’s propaganda.

I remember how the lamestream media all rallied around Fox News when Obama repeatedly attacked them.
