If the media can dish it out, they should be prepared to take it.
Tuesday night, at a Trump rally in Tampa, Fla., Jim Acosta complained about the crowd booing him, even making it part of his on-air bit with Wolf Blitzer.
“You can hear there is a chorus of boos and other chants from this Trump crowd here — saying things like ‘CNN sucks,’ ‘go home’ and ‘fake news,’ ” Acosta complained.
Then, in what has become a ritual with Acosta, he signed off with some virtue-signalling and then gave a nod to his own, insurmountable dedication to journalism in the face of danger.
“We’re staying right here,” he declared from a heightened riser and separated from the crowd by a steel fence. “We’re going to do our job and report on this rally to all of our viewers tonight.”

Reporters covering the White House should not be lying in wait for their star turn as a reward for behaving badly and President Trump must refrain from using his office to recklessly declare the press the enemy of the people.
We must return to civility, and for many that means behaving better, as they did just a few years ago.
Ask Shannon Bream about it.
Or ask Steve Scalise about it, and that was the direct result of the msm practically licking its chops in anticipation when they were stoking the fires. They certainly never called for Obozo to calm things down, quite the opposite, re Ferguson and other scenes of violence and mayhem. Quite the contrary, they egged it on, for a “story”. Now some of the sh*t they flung has hit the fan, and is blowing back at them, and that’s “not fair!” And I haven’t heard one of them ask Maxipad Waters to stand down. As long as it’s only people on the right being hurt, by their antifa heroes and such, they love it.
And note, not a person on the right has perpetrated violence against the msm, contrary to what their heroes on the left have done to people on the right. CNN is crying over a reporter being booed.
CNN feels that their First Amendment rights means they can say stuff — and it means no one else has the right to interrupt them. Some animals are more equal than others.
Good. I’m happy that the media slobs are feeling uncomfortable.
Drivel.
Kumbaya will get you eaten by the arena lions.
We must stand by the President and fight with all means available
You prefer to surrender America to the leftists rather than summon up the courage to fight.
We’ve hated and distrusted the Media LOOOONG before President Trump came along.
The Media/Left have been calling us racist/Fascist/Nazis for years and we have NEVER had a leader willing to fight back...until NOW!
Denouncing dishonest journalism is pro real journalism.
Complete and utter bullcrap. A “return to civility” can not occur with only one side being civilized. Your assertions are nothing more than moral equivalence of the first order. It is the Demonic Party, its vile, brain-dead and violent minions who have filled the air with unsubstantiated lies, hateful rhetoric, and continual violence against normal Americans. None of what is being said about Donald Trump can be found prior to his running for president in 2016, yet the Demonic Party and its POS mouthpieces in the media have continually pushed the idea that their mindless morons are fighting against an evil man. Its about time that the rubber band snap back the other way, because the only thing that will stop these libtard parasites is an overwhelming, even biblical, response action to destroy them.
Simple solution would be for CNN and MSNBC and the rest to stop covering Trump rallies. Then they wouldn’t get their feelings hurt.
Trumps new 2020 Theme “We are not Socialists.” CNN wants to promote Socialism around the world.
The best part is Acosta repeating the audiences chants that CNN sucks and is fake news.
Imo repeating what upsets them just reinforces the claims to our advantage. Awareness is not their strong suit and their lack of it just invites unintended consequences which they are completely blind to.
I can’t EXACTLY recall what Sarah Sanders did when she was insulted, asked to leave a restaurant and then stalked after leaving, but I know she did NOT go on social media and whine and insult the insulters.
WOW, what a difference in an individual who is strong in her beliefs and one who is namby pamby, accusatory and just plain soft in the head as Mr. Acosta appears to be.
What a whiney jerk.
Let’s face it. People who watch CNN and MSNBC don’t care about Trump rallies. People who care about Trump rallies don’t watch CNN or MSNBC. They’re wasting their time sending people to cover them, as well as getting their precious feelings hurt.
We were all about civility; for so many years we ignored the false stories of the media- and that ended up being the path to where we are now. The MSM has been pushing the Democrat agenda for years- not reporting the news- and we remained civil as they rolled over the top of us on the issues. We remained civil as they “fundamentally changed” our country without any consideration to us or what we might want.
Through all of this the only time the dims or the media have been civil to us is if they are 1000% getting their own way. They become very ugly when we speak out, disagree on any issue. The media has been real quick to label conservatives as “uneducated” “uninformed” “racist” “sexist” “misogynist” “bigot” and those are the nicer labels.
President Trump did not start this, all he has done is stand up for us, give us a voice- support our issues. The backlash against that is what we are seeing. The Democrats will not even pretend to discuss the issues in any civil way, their attitude is they are right, we are wrong on every issue. The left wants us to be civil again, to them that means we need to sit down and shut up while they destroy our country. We already did that in the name of civility, how has that worked for us?
