Not sensing a whole lot of sympathy from the president for Acosta or any other media types since ol’ Jim acted like a total doorknob in a presser.
Trump was asked if he would be letting Acosta out of the penalty box …
QUESTION (by @dmartosko): How long will you keep Jim Acosta in the penalty box?
TRUMP: "I haven't made that decision, but it could be others also."— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) November 9, 2018
Hey man, act like a jacka*s you get treated like one.
"It's a disgrace," Trump said of @acosta. "And he does it for, you know the reason, the same thing with @AprilDRyan. I watch her get up. I mean, you talk about somebody that's a loser. She doesn't know what the hell she's doing. She gets publicity and then she gets a pay raise."

Their behavior has absolutely been a disgrace. It’s truly as if they try and poke Trump so he behaves a certain way and then they can play victim for their ‘audience’.
It’s certainly worked for Acosta and others so far.
Jake Tapper thought to quote Benjamin Franklin was the way to go here:
“We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

Huh? Did he just tattle on Trump?
Oh FFS.
Jake, Acosta is a preening narcissist and a disruptive ass.
You're telling me that in your entire network staff, you don't have one single person who could adequately do the job that Acosta did?
He makes himself the story, journalist aren't supposed to do that.

Poor Acosta, getting called out for making the story about himself.

Heh.
what's CNN going to do?

Complain.
What else?
Be offended then business as usual.

@Acosta does not represent the entirety of the Free Press.
He represents the lack of professionalism and extreme bias in the modern activist press.

Truth.
Maybe instead of defending Acosta, the press should try calling out his behavior and looking at ways to change how they’re reporting on this president.
Just spitballin’.
