'Such a crybaby'! Brave firefighters in Capitol Hill press corps circle wagons around reporter accused of being a 'liberal hack' and CNN is ON IT

To listen to many in the national media, they are involved in one of the most important professions in the country — the guardians of the First Amendment and firefighters for truth during this “dangerous time to tell the truth in America” (as Jim Acosta put it). That was until Sen. Martha McSally sent many journalists scurrying to their respective fainting couches after calling a CNN reporter a “liberal hack.”

CNN is still all over the story:

“Smear”? Could the national media be a bigger bunch of babies?

Brian has tweeted ten times more about a senator making a rude comment to a journalist than he ever has about ABC inexplicably killing an expose of Epstein (who then continued to prey on kids for another 3 years). https://t.co/voBjZuMgbJ

These guys are all scared of a woman who's 5'3", maybe 102 lbs. soaking wet. https://t.co/Oj6Civ2lxV

SO brave. SO unflinching.

I don't recall this level of hysteria when @Ilhan treated him much worse.

The self righteousness of journalists is just one of many of their unattractive features. https://t.co/taPuM2DcWn
