As Twitchy told you earlier, President Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May talked to reporters at a press conference in London. Well, not ALL reporters. President Trump skipped CNN’s Jim Acosta:

CNN’s Chris Cillizza flipped out over Trump’s Acosta diss, completely forgetting all the MSM fawning during the Obama years. Next up, CNN reporter Hadas Gold, who spotted danger in Trump shutting down Jim Acosta:
The U.S. president doing this abroad is like giving authoritarian leaders around the world, who put reporters in jail, who try to quash a free press, a green light. https://t.co/JxANJ42YJa

Equating Trump being mean to Jim Acosta to dictators in countries where journalists are jailed and murdered is not the right comparison and it makes the media look so petty with a Chicken Little worldview, no different than the London protesters https://t.co/H1q4lDgwM1

LMAO saying he isn’t going to take questions from CNN isn’t the equivalent to North Korea….
Shocking that this tweet comes from a CNN employee… https://t.co/4fpCRxjpH1
