This happens at every Trump rally. Why is this getting so much attention?

Never thought I would ever read something from David Shuster that I agree with.

Your feelings, antics, + self promotion are hurting journalism, not helping it. Enough. https://t.co/J1sO8enSBz—; David Shuster (@DavidShuster) August 3, 2018

Many journalists are sick of being lied to and insulted. But they have the guts and integrity to stay there, report the facts ...

While trying to dump on Acosta, Shuster is still trashing on the Trump administration who he says is lying and insulting journalists. Then goes on to say the journalists should be reporting the "facts". Does he not see how hypocritical that statement is?

The only news emerging from these briefings involves confrontation and almost nothing involving substance. This is all a show. https://t.co/PezrdGzvf9— Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) August 2, 2018

This is exactly right. But not for the reasons these A$$hats claim. The reporters are confrontational. They only ask gotcha questions in hopes of creating news about answers. They are not asking about foreign policy, the economy, state of affairs, policy, etc. They are asking for comments on the latest controversy about Trump. They aren't even asking about the FBI, Comey, Mueller, etc. with any serious inquiries. They are trying to CREATE a story with a response from Sarah or Trump himself. THAT's it.

OK for the left to heckle Trump administration officials, but not for Trump supporters to heckle the press? Cleary he doesn’t get free speech.

Jim doesn’t know whether or not he’s an “enemy of the people”. He was hoping Sanders could tell him but she refused. It’s got to be hard realizing you may be a “useful idiot” for enemies and I can understand him wanting someone to make it clear. But Sanders wouldn’t tell him so he left wondering if he is or isn’t an enemy of the people.

Hopefully someone other than his handler will answer his self-doubts: “Yes Jim. Yes, you are acting as an enemy of the people”. His recent pleas make me think he is willing to accept the answer, so I hope someone will tell him soon and let him get on with his life.

Acosta never learned the most important lesson in journalism class.

Report the stories. Don’t BE the story. Acosta is nothing more than an insecure attention whore who bleats like a baby lamb for its mommy to feed him what he craves.

Maybe Acosta can put a drum circle together.

At the rally that I attended in New Hampshire on 8/6/16 I recall a short chant directed at the press pool that was there.No reporters were hurt and,unless I’m mistaken,nobody even considered harming a reporter.

If Acosta were a Cloud, an Old Man would be yelling at him.

Of course he’s a Clown, not a Cloud.

These rallies are just the prelim to this fall’s “Full Metal Trump” campaign tour. Acosta better start toughening up that skin or they’ll find him curled up in a fetal position in some corner or an arena crying, “just make them stop”.

It’s not Sarah Sanders’ job to denounce her boss. It to work for her boss and not against him. They are just trying to bully Sanders into disagreeing with Trump so they can use it against him. An objective press would not be asking her about her personal feelings about issues, trying to goad her into a conflict of interest.
