This is a win for Acosta and CNN.

The interview could have been cancelled with a no comment or scheduling conflict. Giving Acosta/CNN a headline is the wrong response.

Idiots who taunt want attention and reactions. They don't want facts. They don't want business as usual.

CNN could be punished by cancelling the interview and scheduling a different one with Fox/ABC/NBC/CBS in the same time slot and the message would have been delivered more appropriately.

Absolutely not.

I'm digging his singling out of CNN. They absolutely deserve it. One of the few Trump things I like.

I don’t think I agree with that. Trump’s WH doesn’t play the same media rules as past republicans. Publically shutting out a particular network for bias and inaccurate reporting forces CNN to make their own headline, and essentially draw attention to the fact that they are not impartial and their viewers are less informed because of it.

Say what you want about CNN, but even their most uninformed viewers are starting to realize that they are watching more left wing activism than actual news. A lot of them are okay with that, but the CNN brand isn’t considered impartial or even accurate anymore when it comes to domestic politics.
