CNN’s Acosta accuses Sanders of intimidation, threats

Exactice said:
Would anyone really want that job.... for $180,000.... I know people that make way more than that doing much easier things then going to a vicious podium everyday..... I look at her position like a Teacher, you are not doing it for the money....... You gotta love what you do..... she looks like shes loving it..... I know when football players go on a field, or when I put my uniform on everday.... "I got my game face on"....

Makes one wonder why Sanders went to a Baptist university. She certainly didn't take any courses in Ethics or Thou Shalt Not Lie.

Understood, I rarely watch CNN anymore, its 24/7 trump. Blame is on both sides, Trumps sucks the oxygen out of the room, and the press bites. But, this war with the Press, Trump will not win. He has damned his legacy, and who controls that I wonder.

He cheapens the office to such a new low, I am sad for this country. His asinine, and juvenile behavior is unacceptable in a CIC of the worlds most powerful military. This administration is a joke, I keep waiting for the damn dancing monkey carrying a bottle of Trump brand water to appear. This country sold out to a con man. His politics has nothing to do with this rant, he is a terrible leader, an even worse role model for those seeking public service. Hurry up President Pence !!

Its funny, half of your rant. I actually do agree with.... He is an idiot, his conduct sucks and he does demean the position.


But and this is a very opinionated but...... Looking at his policies..... in my personal opinion they are a start, they are not perfect and they are Opposite of what has been going on. Right now, we are bleeding out slowly.... this dude basically is going in with a soup spoon and digging out all the dead meat. Its going to bleed more but its going to get the infection and all the dead waste out.

Its ugly, its painful... the upfront cost is lengthy.... but the end result and after the 4 years and heck if he magically gets his second term who knows.

Obama took 2 terms to get ACA and that think is about to implode. It took 2 presidents to catch bin laden. Things dont happen over night. But if we dont clean up the mess now, its just going to collapse.

The dude needs a muzzle.....and partly to blame why he cant get the political support....but lets face it.... the loud mouth got him into the office of the President...the nation spoke....I think we need to shake it up and get things "changed" up.

I did see a an interview she did with her Dad, who incidentally is a guy I had some respect for until he was assimilated into the Trump Borg. She came across as well spoken, and she smiled !! She is the dictionary pic of an unhappy employee. She must suck on a lemon before stepping out to the briefing room.

We already know for an undisputed fact that Trump considers some of the press THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE so this threat is 100% entirely consistent with such an authoritarian attitude.

Swallowed that leftist bull**** did you?

The enemy of the people are those who are political propagandists, today they are dressed up a 'news', constantly pushing their own political agenda, spin each story into anti-Trump to the point of false reporting, accepting single sources with no regard for facts or verification.

News? No. Political propagandists.
 
I saw her meltdown on cable news last night. CLASSIC!

You know, it's easy to pick on her. But I kinda feel sorry for her.

First, she has a beauty of her own. A true face for radio. And she has to stand in front of cameras, hence, millions of viewers almost every day. I see they are trying to pretty her up some. She reminds me of a very young lady just learning about make-up. I can see she is somewhat self-conscience. She is somebody's daughter. Bless her heart.

Second, she has one of the hardest jobs in the world trying to explain, defend, twist, spin, deflect, blame and mislead as instructed. Singing like hell for her supper, all the while, her handler just keeps throwing more obstacles in her path. The invention bar for "creative reality" just keeps getting higher.

My God. How much can a human take? Her and Kelly Anne. Trying to accomplish the impossible. Kelly Anne looks like she has aged a decade.

How can you NOT feel some kind of compassion for these two tormented ladies?

But, I do have to say, when she was chastising the media for the screw-up, she acted as if she was standing on some kind of moral high ground. Sanders stands at a podium almost every day and leads and misleads the citizens. One would think the podium speaking for the POTUS should have more integrity and credibility than some news reporter. Yet, they do what they do day in and day out. Where does she get off giving the media a tongue lashing for making an error when all that comes out of her mouth is BS?

I'm gonna give her a pass this time. She might be having a break down. You never know until you walk a mile in someone else's pumps.

Just reporting the truth - that Trump identified the media as the enemy of the people. You don't like it? Take it up with Trumplethinskin.

The mainstream 'news' media isn't reporting the truth.
They are reporting their spin laden political propaganda.
Last week should have been more than sufficient demonstration of that.

Accurate, factual and verified reporting that you can trust most certainly is not the enemy of the people.
Where as spin laden political propaganda disguised as reporting most certainly is.
 
Will the Acosta opponents in this thread please explain their opposition to Acosta? Besides the facts that he works for CNN and that the administration opposes CNN, what is the source and purpose of all the Acosta hating?

Funny... I think she loves straightening out the press corpse (Obama spelling). No sense of humor... you’re not watching hard enough.

She’s one of the best press secretaries ever.

One of the best ever. What a ridiculous statement. It must have come directly from the WH.

None of which changes that Trump labeled the media as an enemy of the people - and you can excuse it and rationalize it and justify it all day - it still shows how little Trump respects our basic rights in this country.

Well, that'd be your take on it. Spun pretty hard. Equal to the biased, political propagandist 'news', or is that where you get your talking points from?

I recall that it was the Obama administration that surveilled and harassed and falsely accused a journalist.

I have yet to hear anything like that from this administration.

Actually it comes from Trump himself.

Nothing of significance has happened since where answering questions from the media are necessary.

Yeah, nothing of significance has happened. Keep telling yourself that, Bucky. It helps ease your pain of having your fib about Trump answering questions from the press "all the time" rubbed in your nose.

She is damaged goods when her stint is over. Permanently damaged. But she'll end up working for Fox News as Hannity's sub, or writing for The Gateway Pundit.

When was the last time Trump took questions from the press?

Why don't you just go register as a Democrat; I mean really dude? Now you're sucking up to CNN, when Acosta is acting like a spoiled child? You couldn't be more obvious. The President isn't required by anything at all to take questions from the press.

TDS has taken over. Sanders smacks Acosta around like the rented mule he is, and I hope she keep doing it daily. Acosta should be fired, because he's nothing but a useless troll.

Yes, TDS has taken over. I'm sitting here watching everyone who suffers from it follow Trump and Bannon into the abyss while trying to drag the real Republicans along. Trump managed to make once seemingly rational people become completely deranged.

That's not his fault, it's the fault of people who apparently never had control.

True. It's not Trump's fault that he managed to dupe millions of easily duped people into derangement and loyal support for him. He took advantage of it.
