    Lol, he has gone through and deleted all of his past tweets. The only ones up now are him criticizing Fox. This is hilarious.

    I wonder how they are defining "liberal" and "conservative" here. The Nation is pretty far left of the mainstream, and The Atlantic has a mixture of left-leaning and center-right contributors. Jacobin is explicitly socialist. On the other side, Reason is a libertarian online site, while The National Review and The Weekly Standard are firmly conservative/Republican.

    Think about that statement.

    "He wouldn't call the media the enemy if they reported the news the way he wanted them to report it."

    What in the entire f***? I realize the collective IQ on that show is a negative number but even that doesn't excuse the bat-s*** craziness of this statement.

    Jim Acosta is a grandstanding windbag with no respect for the other reporters in the room and the professional job that they do. Trump shouldn't treat the press like that, but he's not wrong that CNN is a joke.

    Trump's press conferences are a joke. The media isn't the enemy of the American people- Trump is.

    I made it through about a minute .

    I have no love for trump . But why keep asking a question when it's clear he's not going to answer ? Other reporters have questions , let them get to it .

    It also didn't sound like he was "asking" about the invasion as much as he was trying to make a point . A better reporter can make his points through the questions .

    Instead of saying "they are 1000 miles away it's not an invasion." Why not ask "how many miles away is the caravan ? " then "why do you consider it an invasion if they are 1000 miles away ."

    Put the guy with crappy speaking skills on the spot and he will make himself look foolish. Provoking him makes you both look bad , and if you're CNN you can't afford to lose credibility because it undermines the rest of the press' credibility.

    I strongly dislike trump , I think he's a bad person , I think he's sowing discord and propagating false information . I agree that him calling CNN fake news is wrong . But when a reporter won't sit down after being asked 4-5 times by the president because he's trying to make a point .... then that paints CNN in a bad light too .
