CNN correspondent Jim Acosta discusses his question to press secretary Sarah Sanders, when she refused to say that the press was not the enemy of the American people. Acosta was so distressed that he walked out of Thursday's press briefing.
Acosta came up with an idea to combat the 'CNN sucks' chants of Trump supporters: "I think maybe we should make some bumper stickers. Make some buttons, you know maybe we should go out on Pennsylvania Avenue like these folks who chant CNN sucks and fake news, maybe we should go out, all journalists should go out on Pennsylvania Avenue and chant we're not the enemy of the people because I'm tired of this."
Acosta said he just "tired of this" and called the 'fake news' attack "unfair." The CNN White House correspondent also said he felt "sorry" for the treatment Sarah Huckabee Sanders suffered at a restaurant in Virginia.
"Honestly, Brooke, I'm tired of this," Acosta fretted. It is not right. It is not fair. It is not just. It is un-American to come out here and call the press the enemy of the people and Ivanka Trump knows that. I don't know why her father doesn't....

Remember when the biggest international incident was how Trump Fed the Koi Fish in Japan?
That was proof that CNN and MSM had jumped the shark.

Yes, a nice little brown ribbon on the lapel. S**t brown. With little beady eyes on it, and a poopy frown.

His ego is being badly bruised. President Trump is crushing it. They've never had to deal with a Republican who fights back, and it's tearing them apart.

Maybe the geniuses at CNN, could reflect on why they have allowed their once-championship channel to fall... They used to be the undisputed champ. ...THEY blew it, with their heavy partisan bias. They can reflect on why they suck? Good idea...

LOL - Yeah I think so! LOL

Acosta just thinks that as media representatives covering politics that he is something special. The more he makes noise the lower he sinks. Today's American is beginning to expect that life skills involve being able to take a punch.
And sometimes we deserve a punch in the snout.

Hey Accostus, dont forget your make up artist. Dont want to be on camera without putting on your face first.
If they do this someone needs to get video on them getting touch ups.

Liberals launched guerrilla wars against foxnews,
breitbart, RT...... now they claim they are champions of free press.
Ivanka can crawl on her hands and kees to CNN, like Romney..... we didn’t vote for her.

Hey, Jim, theres probably old boxes of those Just Say No! buttons from the Ford era in some moldy warehouse somewhere ... I bet those might work ... "Just Say No" was from the Reagan Administration. The Ford Administration gave us "WIN" buttons (Whip Inflation Now). The morning after Ford gave his televised speech asking Americans to wear "WIN" buttons, a lot of guys on the floor of the NYSE were sporting buttons that said "LOSE"
