3. how unfortunate they didn't see this while breathlessly covering Oink's rallies in 16 and equally

breathtakingly covering Comey's reopening the email server non-issue.

4. The real media,

i.e. not Faux News, needs to get together and respond in unison. My first thought was to boycott WH "press conferences" but it could be weeks before there is another of them. My best idea so far, is for one reporter after another to ask at any "press conference" or Trump's taking yelled questions on the way to Marine One why Acosta lost his hard pass - whether Trump is trying to silence questions - etc. If Sarah clutches her pearls and accuses Acosta of assaulting the staffer, the appropriate response is "Thou shall not bear false witness."

Every media outlet - press and broadcast - needs to be editorializing about Trump's fascist attack on the media.

5. CNN - You Built This!!!!

The country deserved better than hour upon hour upon hour of an empty fucking podium with Breaking News flashing in the chryon.

America deserved better than the over 1,000 stories you did on some bullshit email non-scandal.

America deserved better than your constant both siderism bullshit.

America deserved better than you normalizing the abnormal.

America deserved better than you breathlessly anticipating every rediculous old man fart that came out of this shitgibbons pie hole, and treating anything this asspickle said as if it had any fucking worth.

I hope we don't lose our democracy because of your fucking false equivalency, but hey...ratings
