We don’t know how journalists do it, day in and day out, rushing into all those burning buildings and being all stunning and brave. But nevertheless, they persist:
We’ll get back to Jim Acosta in a minute. First, this:
Olivier Knox says that after President Trump debuted his "enemies of the people" line, "My kid burst into tears and asked me if I was going to be put into prison."
— Jeremy Barr (@jeremymbarr) October 22, 2018
Which is basically the same thing as being put into prison.
Really girl. https://t.co/HwTG10Xzhb

Olivier Knox is a liar. https://t.co/ZVZcGChPr8

How about the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman? How has she been wronged in the Age of Trump?
Maggie Haberman says that Trump pits media outlets against each other now as he did during his New York tabloid days: "He uses our processes against us frequently and routinely."

Awww.
Maybe your processes suck. https://t.co/rMLTCD6EXz

Now there’s a thought! While you mull that over, Maggie, let’s hear from Jim Acosta again:
Jim Acosta says that Trump is "just a dishonest and deceptive person."

This is a pot-and-kettle situation if ever there were one.
Acosta, continuing the beef, says: "Sean Spicer, for example, during his reign, couldn't even pronounce Bashar al-Assad. That's how much they were struggling with these types of questions."
— Jeremy Barr (@jeremymbarr) October 22, 2018
Acosta: "If you want to ask me what makes me depressed about my job, it's covering the rallies."
— Jeremy Barr (@jeremymbarr) October 22, 2018
When Jim Acosta signed up to be a journalist, he never thought he’d be forced to cover rallies.
Is there a day @Acosta doesn't cry and whine?

We haven’t discovered one yet.
I can't be the only one who delights in this news.

Don’t worry: You’re definitely not the only one.
@acosta is having group therapy with a microphone…he should stick to a diary.

If Jimbo’s trying to get us to feel sorry for him, it’s not really working.

We know Acosta et al. are already pretty full of crap, but here’s one more wafer-thin piece of food for thought for them to chew on:
Journalists who view their role as influencing public opinion, fighting for justice, advocating for causes or 'resisting' do nothing but spread hatred/fear through false/misleading headlines, absurdly biased reporting, and selective editing for a narrative.
We don't trust you.
