    It's just more evidence of what appears to be either a congenital or conditioned sense of entitlement and privilege...vis, they seem to have given themselves the authority to do as they damn well please, and if anyone calls them on their bullying and impertinence, or *gasp* bats it back over the net, they play the victim card, with the full backing of their equally despicable politicos and media.

    "An assault is the act of inflicting physical harm or unwanted physical contact upon a person or, in some specific legal definitions, a threat or attempt to commit such an action. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal and/or civil liability."

    You don't need a black eye to be an assault victim. I say the new acting AG get some Swamp practice by charging this fake news creep. There's an opening at the prison newspaper for him I'm sure.

    A clear sign of TDS is the extreme use of hyperbole.

    Acosta has more of a claim to self defense than anyone has a claim that he assaulted anyone. Not that he was defending himself... this entire conversation is a ridiculous...

    Maybe you should contact Nielsen and give them your rundown. According to Nielsen, Besides its embarrassing descent in the ratings, CNN suffered even more humiliation recently, as it continues to be exposed for its inaccurate news coverage – apparently affirming Trump’s “fake news” assertion on a regular basis.

    CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings – experiencing a 12-percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15-percent drop in total day – [as] CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000, Despite the addition of CNN’s touted Chris Cuomo Primetime program, the network still failed to crack the top five in primetime ratings

    On the flip side of this, clearly Acosta is committing a micro-aggression against the intern just trying to do her job. He might as well have rubbed his balls in her face and yelled "IM STRONGER THAN YOUUUUU!"

    See how silly that is? It IS, however, unprofessional as ****.

    I've long said the POTUS should take questions from media in flyover country, remotely. Who gave the WH press corps a monopoly?

    Oh get over it. He said pardon me. His arm was up already and he brushed his forearm over hers. My God, talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. LOL

    I'd be curious if there is something specific you are referring to. I Googled "cnn exposed for inacurate news coverage" and the story that came up was a correction made in Dec. 2017.

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but it's hard to be confident of the sensibilities of anyone in this thread if they're calling this thing with Acosta an assault, which is absurd.

    Dems were labeled as crying snowflakes right after Trump won hence all the Liberals marching in vagina costumes and screaming at the sky. That term must really bother them (or they can't come up with anything on their own) because now Liberals have adopted the term for conservatives. Pretty funny though.
