I hate CNN and Acosta now. Instead of acquiescing to Trump they continue to drive the narrative that Trump wants and instead of reporting on a given story they become the story. That's not what we want. I can't even watch CNN anymore.

If you simply do what the guy says he has less legitimacy when he says "fake news" and "enemy of the people." And what are you doing really? Not getting to ask him a question you're surely not going to get an honest answer to? Wow. Look at those journalistic chops. The WSJ is doing a better job of investigating Trump's involvement in the payoffs of stormy et al than the other outlets and it's supposed to be right leaning.

CNN - less effectual than Kron4 News in the bay.

CNN is as much a caricature of news as FoxNews is, I agree. and Acosta grandstands as much as trump. but... still can't kick him out, even if he is part of the yellow press

Non-sequitur but had to post somewhere

“As for the Republicans -- how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage'...) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.”
