If you saw our earlier thread on CNN and its reaction to the GOP’s “racist ad” about an illegal immigrant who killed two police officers and laughed about it in court, then you know that the network has just completely given up on presenting the news objectively; check out the chyron:

As Twitchy also reported, CNN’s Jim Acosta shared some generally congenial interactions he had with Trump supporters who attended his campaign rally in Florida Wednesday night, but he wasn’t impressed with Trump’s speech, which he panned in a mini-review on Twitter.
Again, this is CNN’s White House correspondent — the “unbiased” conduit between Sarah Sanders and CNN’s viewership. Guess he thought this was a fact-check:
Trump ends rally in FL telling crowd “we are all one family” as he uses the most divisive rhetoric from a president in our lifetime describing the press as the enemy of the people and repeatedly demonizing immigrants. When he says “one family” he means his supporters.

Maybe it’s just us, but if you scroll through the thousands of replies to Acosta’s tweet, it’s plain as day how one reporter can take something as positive as what Trump said, reframe it, and use it to sow outrage and division to a crowd starving for it. Divisive rhetoric? Do you watch your own network?
And for the thousandth time, Trump had said again and again that it’s fake news that’s the enemy of the people — you know, like when reporters twist his words.

We've moved from self-aggrandizing performance art to open opposition. Wonder what's the next level for @Acosta. https://t.co/HDJnKHrpBD

Dude? Are you running or something?
Your timeline sounds more like a political opponent (curiously did not during Obama's 8 years) than a supposed neutral observer/reporter. https://t.co/88XC34iXyM

I mean, @Acosta sounds like a damn politician running against Trump rather than an objective news reporter
What they hell?
— Top (@topsecretk9) November 1, 2018
Exactly. And yet, we’re supposedly all Americans on the same team! Whatever you say, Jim.
The enthusiasm and big crowds just sticks in the craw of leftist reporters who follow Trump around rally after rally. I follow a couple who in the early days went by the book, and slowly the snark started creeping in. Kind of entertaining knowing they are miserable.

@Acosta Is that what you heard the President say? That's NOT what I heard him say. You and your comrades are a danger to the Republic. https://t.co/egyUFUMoiR

This is inciting hateful rhetoric @CNN look at the replies to this tweet. The replies consist of calling republicans, the Presidents supporters, and the President, racist, nazis, uneducated, multiple curse words added to vile names, calling for violent acts, etc,. #VoteRed #GOP https://t.co/A3HaLKqT7F

We report, you decide? No, wait, that’s another network’s tagline. CNN’s is “Facts First,” right?
