CNN’s Jim Acosta hit back at Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday for saying that attendees at President Trump’s rally were right for heckling the CNN correspondent.
“Hannity is a propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night,” Acosta tweeted, adding that the host is “injecting poison into the nation’s political bloodstream warping public attitudes about the press.”
“I’m confident in the long run the truth will prevail,” he added.
CNN's chief White House correspondent appeared to be responding to Hannity’s comments siding with attendees at a Trump rally in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday who heckled Acosta.
"I’m actually going to give your network some advice, if you have an open mind and an open heart," Hannity said during the opening monologue of his show on Tuesday after the rally, addressing Acosta. "The people of this country are screaming at you for a reason. They don’t like your unfair, abusively biased treatment of the president of the United States."
"If you want to earn the respect of all Americans, not the coastal elites in California, San Francisco and New York, maybe try reporting the entire story and getting rid of the bias," Hannity continued. "Maybe examine why people are saying this to us."
Acosta, who faced boos and chants of “CNN sucks” at the rally, tweeted after the event that the response to CNN's presence was a “sad scene.”
“I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt,” Acosta wrote. “We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy.”

CNN's Accosta is outwardly projecting everything he is on to Hannity.
More like injecting a cure.
Most bullies, especially loud-mouth bullies like Jim Acosta, aren’t used to getting “punched” back. These bullies, like Jim Acosta, don’t like it when happens, live in constant fear that it will happen, and are scared schumerless they will be exposed as the weaklings — albeit, loud-mouth weaklings — they truly are. Jim Acosta’s words and actions are completely predictable.
Remeber too it was Accosta’s network that was encouraging people to attack Trump supporters in the streets.
Even calling them Nazis for wanting to make America great again.
Boom that’s it!
Can anyone point out a clearer case of “projection” than this one declared by Acosta?
“I’m confident in the long run the truth will prevail,”
He’s right.
It did.
Fox News’s Mark Levin: CNN’s Jim Acosta is a nut!
That an imbecile such as acosta has any type of national presence, with his non lustrous peers that support him, speaks only in the lowest terms for the lamest of media.
Wrote my Post 7 before reading yours!
Exactly!
Hannity is not a reporter like Acosta.
Hannity has an opinion show. Acosta is supposed to be a non-biased reporter.
Big difference.
So am I.
The truth will sink propaganda outlets such as CNN and their highly-paid liars such as Acosta.
He’s already tried the race card with his name, why not try this, too? Almost hilarious.
As I’ve said many times, Acosta is NOT upset about any of this.
He is loving it.
He was a nobody, and while now he is still a nobody, he’s got everyone talking about him.
He’s basking in it, and loves being the center of attention right now.
They should not give him the time of day, let alone answer a single one of his questions.
If he was the only reporter in the room, Sarah should say, “Well, I see there’s no questions, so I’m going back to my office now. Thanks!” and then leave.
Yep, you got that right. Accosta is doing what all good liberals do.
Accosta is not a reporter. He is a propagandist. He propagates propaganda for a living and is therefore a presstitute as well
There. Fixed it.
“Hannity is not a reporter like Acosta. Hannity has an opinion show. Acosta is supposed to be a non-biased reporter. Big difference.”
Absolutely true. I’ve used that same comparison in the past.
