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....

Yeah, that’s really effective...
Don’t think about an elephant.
Don’t think that CNN sucks ostrich eggs.
I had an ostrich egg omelet one time. Lord was that thing big.
“CNN Blows”
That was Jerry Ford in 1974.

In other threads on this topic he said he “walked out at the end of the briefing”.
Woopie-doo! All of the other WH correspondents walked out at the end of the briefing, TOO. It’s what they do.
I think they should all wear tee-shirts with Mr. Hankey on the front if they choose to protest. (ref. Southpark)

Click on CNN at anytime, day or night, and they're bashing PDJT or momentarily will be. It's as predictable as the sunrise.
The MSM buttons should say, “Cut us some slack - Acosta ain’t one of us.”
Here’s a guy whose voice is available to literally billions of people worldwide at the click of a remote control button. He is so illiterate (or maybe stupid) that he thinks he can make people click on it by printing a button. Maybe he should try speaking things worthy of listening to, instead.
Enema of the people?
Yes, that would be perfect!
The Constitution's "freedom of the press" is freedom from control and restrains, but is not freedom from criticism and ridicule by whoever - including Trump & his supporters.
Man,
After one of little jimmy boys personal insults, i wish Sarah would simply walk over and knock little jimmy on his ass.
She’s more manly than him by miles.
cnn sucks, and it’s fake news.
Those buttons were actually from the Reagan years.
Yeah, Jim's ribbon should be made of candy!
CNN should be working on a 20 year retrospective look at Peter Arnett’s blockbuster reporting on Operation Tailwind and celebrating how much better they’ve become at selling fake news since then.
It is not un-American to call the press the enemy of the people when they are the enemy of the people!
