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....

Just a button with CNN on it would work fir him.
What spoiled children these CNN people are, every single one of them.
There is the crux of CNN's problem. They have long since stopped reporting the news and became an active participant in it. The news media was intended to be objective observers that investigated the rights and wrongs of society and report on what they found. Somehow they morphed into a political wing for the left and became activists. If CNN wants to save themselves as a news media organization they should do the following: 1. Fire every on air personality immediately. 2. Hire no name people to read actual new reports. 3. Fire anyone that interjects their opinion in a news story. (e.g., I think, they think...) 4. Actually do real investigative reporting to find the truth. 5. Fire anyone associated with a fake story, including the writers and management. 6. Fire anyone that spikes a story to protect a politician that actually did misdeeds.
What is “un-American” is the media demanding the silencing of people who criticize and ridicule them.
It has been in Communist & Nazi/Fascist societies that criticism & ridicule of their media has been illegal.
“Enema of the people?
Yes, that would be perfect!”
—And now, Jim Acosta’s probing, IN-DEPTH investigation....
