Acosta Fact-Checks Trump Supporters Chanting 'CNN Sucks,' 'Fake News': 'All Of Those Things Are False'
Chris Menahan

The absolute state of CNN.

From the Free Beacon:

    CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta responded to supporters of President Donald Trump by saying all of the things that they were chanting against his network on Tuesday were "false."

    Acosta checked in with CNN host Wolf Blitzer to report on the environment of the Trump supporters at the upcoming rally in Tampa Bay, Florida on Tuesday evening. They chanted things like "CNN sucks" and "fake news."

Jim should get with the program.   In Trumpville, any reporting adverse to Trump is fake news.  Any reporting that fawns over Trump is real news.

@Applewood

 There is an element of truth to your post

However, how do you “fact check” something that is subjective anyways?  How does one “fact check” statements like “CNN sucks?”
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

And who fact checks the fact checkers? 

I really hate what passes for journalism these days.  We don't get facts anymore.  We get bias and opinions posing as facts.

Trump supporters love rump-kissing outlets like Breitbart and Fox. Who fact checks those sites?  IMHO, they disseminate just as much, if not more, fake news as CNN, et al.

That's odd. Then why would you want to circle the wagons around a proven liar and all around radical Marxist?

You a big Sam Donaldson fan?

It's on at my cardiologist's office, too.

I teased them that if I get a heart attack in the waiting room, I'm suing them.

In 2016, they 'laughed'.

In 2018....who knows WTF somebody might do?

My former cardiologist (now retired) used to have CNN.  Someone complained.  So he switched to soap operas and Maury -- which were worse. 

About a year before he retired, he switched to some continuous advertising for the cardiology department of the hospital where he practiced.  Bored me to tears, but wouldn't give me a heart attack.

The best doctors' offices are the ones where the TV is tuned to HG network. Even multiple episodes of Fixer Upper are more tolerable than CNN or Maury.

My local tire shop keeps the Science Channel on.  Manager says some find it boring but rarely does he get any heated complaints like he did when it was news, CNN or FOX, someone was going to complain.

And why do Trump fans circle their wagons around a president who lied to the American people when he said NK is no longer a nuclear threat.?

Or perhaps a doctor's office waiting room.

This video's also proof that Jimsey wasn't physically accosted in any way --- in case this is what the story morphs into.  The crowd was just having a helluva good time.   :police:
