On Thursday, CNN’s Jim Acosta confronted White House press secretary Sarah Sanders and asked her if she would say that the press is not the enemy of the people. She did not.

In response, according to Acosta, he walked out of the room “saddened by what just happened.”

Jim Acosta walks out with a major case of butthurt.

I walked out of the end of that briefing because I am totally saddened by what just happened. Sarah Sanders was repeatedly given a chance to say the press is not the enemy and she wouldn't do it. Shameful.

Sowing and reaping. The MSM have lied about Trump systematically, treated him as their enemy, and denigrated his supporters as racists, etc., from the day they heard he might run for POTUS..

Reagan, Bush, and Bush tried being nice. Trump saw how that failed. So he's dishing what the MSM dish, is larger helpings.

The MSM is not used to getting a kick in the ass when they act like one.

They all should be barred from the WH till they learn to act with decorum.

I find it ironic how Acosta and his CNN Fake News Media Empire still, after all the hyperbole, whining, lying, complaining, and finger-pointing toward DJT and his policies, enjoys the front seat in the WH media room.

Isn't there some kind of pecking order that is established? Why is it, other than some kind of misguided attempt by Sanders and DJT to be "fair", do they allow Acosta and his filth to capture prime time to the extent that they do?

Other than, of course, to allow CNN and Acosta to show their true colors time after time after time. That's certainly a laudable strategy, but that can backfire too.

If you're in a position to control the message, control the message AND, where feasible, the messenger.
