    After the flurry of fake news that has come across the wire over the last few weeks, CNN and the other liberal media sites have become pretty sensitive to the whole issue.

    On Monday, that frustration from the liberal media reached a tipping point when CNN’s head Trump-basher Jim Acosta got into a heated argument with WH Press Secretary Sarah Sanders. It all began when Sanders ripped the media for their socnstant fake news. Before she could even finish her thought, Acosta got defensive and shouted at her.

    “I would just say Sarah, that journalists make honest mistakes, and that doesn’t make them fake news,” Acosta told Sanders.

    “When journalists make honest mistakes, they should own up to them,” fired back Sanders. “There’s a very big difference between making an honest mistake and purposely misleading the American people; something that happens regularly.”

    Watch the full exchange below:

    Sarah Sanders is the BEST Press Secretary there has been in a VERY long time. I LOVE the way she doesn't back down from anything. I would LOVE to be able to have 3 minutes with that asshole Acosta. He would NOT like it. He just looks like a typical greasy slimebag. He thinks his shit doesn't stink. I CAN'T stand him. He NEEDS to be BANNED not only from the press conferences, but from this country. He thinks he is a "pretty boy" when he is actually SCUM.

    Do I need to say anything else?

    A typical Trump thread. Ignore anything of substance and throw abuse and personal insults. Carry on!

    Ramanujan is right.  Most people still trust professional journalists more than politicians.  Under pressure to mass produce news daily, some honest mistakes can be expected.  Usually, traditional media is more trustworthy than social media where most fake news come from. But overall, the press still performs a valuable role in society.  US constitution ensures freedom of the press to protect Americans against government.

    We get very little "real news" anymore.

    News is fact and not opinion based.  The mainstream media is full of to much of the latter.

    Sanders is pretty sharp, i like her style. The personal attacks from self proclaimed feminists like chelsea handler are uncalled for. The attacks expose these angry vindictive shallow women for what they  are.
