Legendary reporter and author Bob Woodward weighed in earlier today on the CNN/Jim Acosta lawsuit and, somewhat unexpectedly, he called out the media for it.
“In the news media there has been an emotional reaction to Trump”:
BOB WOODWARD at Global Financial Leadership Conference in Naples, Fla., shortly after CNN sues White House over @Acosta :: “In the news media there has been an emotional reaction to Trump … too many people for Trump or against Trump have become emotionally unhinged about this.”

He thinks the media keeps “taking his bait”:
+ WOODWARD on CNN lawsuit: “This is a negative … Trump is sitting around saying, ‘This is great.” … “When we engage in [Trump’s strategy] we’re taking his bait.”

Woodward wants more “serious reporting about what he’s doing”:
+ WOODWARD: “The remedy [isn’t a lawsuit], it’s more serious reporting about what he’s doing.”

Good luck with getting CNN or any of the media to cut out the emotional reaction to Trump, however.
