| CNN's Jim Acosta Gets Abused At A Trump Rally |
| 2018-06-26 |
| If it's okay to harass Trump Administration employees (and also Trump supporters), so is this, and I hope I see this every single day from now until November, and then some. With video goodness! [NewsBusters] - Hours before President Trump arrived on Monday night at a South Carolina campaign rally with incumbent Republican Governor Henry McMaster, CNN’s chief White House correspondent and carnival barker Jim Acosta faced quite the crowd behind him during a live shot with chants of "go home, Jim" and "fake news Jim," while one attendee moved from side to side with a "CNN Sucks" sign. During a live shot in the next hour, Acosta decried the lack of civility by these Trump supporters and highlighted a woman who had heckled him. Responding to her calls for CNN to pack up and leave, he asserted like a true firefighter that "we are here to do our jobs." |

| #14 My first experience with Cable TV, back in the early 80's, one of the channels was the raw AP news article feed. Blank and white paragraphs showing the unadulterated headers for news events. It was very informative to turn around and see the Nightly MSM News (NBS/ABC/CBS) after the appropriate *Spin cycle* had been applied. You would almost think they were talking about two unrelated events ... as presented by hacks like Acosta or Blitzer. |

| #11 I’ll look it up in a moment, though jpal’s sentence suggests what I’ll find. I would have to work so much harder to find things to learn if I didn’t have Rantburg! :-D |

| #8 No he is not a 'reporter' as a reporter reports the news. He doesn't report 'news' but propaganda from his left-wing masters. |

| #7 Its different, because he is a "reporter". Reporters are special. |

| #3 "we are here to do our jobs." To take down Trump by any means necessary? |

| #2 "we are here to do our jobs." An interesting term of reference. Quite paraprosdokian. |
