They may not wear their pussy hats on the set, but Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, and Erin Burnett and almost the entire CNN line-up is in Stage 4 of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The cable news network should pay a living wage to Rep. Adam Schiff, he’s in front of their cameras so much. How many different ways can Carl Bernstein say “this is worse than Watergate” and make it any more believable? A fill-in host for one of the late-night TV “comedy” shows (snotty quotation marks) makes a Trump joke and CNN is up with the video.
Typical CNN question for the man on the street: Why do YOU hate Donald Trump?
So there is poor Jim Acosta, just a working stiff news reporter — no agenda, no biases — bleating for A Little Respect Here, pls. We’re talking Thursday’s White House news briefing in which the CNN news provocateur does his Rodney Dangerfield impression and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders hands him his protective cup.
ACOSTA: “But you did not say that the press is not the enemy of the people, and I — I — I think it would be a good thing if you were to say right here at this briefing …”
SANDERS: “It’s ironic, Jim, that not only you and the media attack the president for his rhetoric, when they frequently lower the level of conversation in this country. Repeatedly — repeatedly, the media resorts to personal attacks without any content other than to incite anger.
The media has attacked me personally on a number of occasions, including your own network; said I should be harassed as a life sentence, that I should be choked. ICE officials are not welcomed in their place of worship, and personal information is shared on the Internet. When I was hosted by the Correspondent’s Association, of which almost all of you [attending the press briefing] are members of, you brought a comedian up to attack my appearance, and call me a traitor to my own gender.
In fact, as I know, as far as I know, I’m the first press secretary in the history of the United States that’s required Secret Service protection.
QUESTION: No, that’s not what I said. People (inaudible) …
SANDERS: The media continues to ratchet up the verbal assault against the president and everyone in this administration. And certainly, we have a role to play, but the media has a role to play for the discourse in this country, as well.
Watch the damn thing:
Not seeing this elsewhere.

That’s exactly the kind of reply I would have expected from a person that doesn’t understand respect. No you blithering idiot, it’s not “supposed to be an adversarial relationship” (my bold) it’s supposed to be a mutually respectful relationship and the press has shown absolutely no respect for this President or his Administration.
Just because the press has the freedom to ask any disrespectful question their little heart desires doesn’t mean that the question they ask any should be asked, or asked in the manner in which it was asked, or that the question has to be answered.
It’s time to restore some semblance of mutual respect in the press briefing room; if you disagree with that then you’re part of the morally and ethically bankrupt problem in the USA.

I didn’t “excitedly report” anything, idiot, in fact the whole thing was a matter of fact approaching sarcasm, but I suppose a dumbass like yourself would never get that. Maybe I’ll add a “Yippee” in the future so a dumbass like yourself can at least have some kind of hope of getting it.
No idiot, I really don’t expect them to take my personal advice just like I haven’t expected any White House, Governors office, member of the US Congress, or member of our State Legislature in the past to take my personal advice. That doesn’t mean we don’t offer our opinions and hope for progress in a particular direction.
The real point of my approaching sarcasm post was to say that I choose to share my opinion with those in government that could make a different choice based on what they hear from constituents if they choose to. Even idiots like you have the opportunity to share your opinions with government officials, take advantage of it and spread some of your good cheer towards the White House.
