Sean Hannity ripped into fake news Jim Acosta Wednesday evening after Acosta whined about Trump supporters roasting him with “CNN sucks!” chants at Trump’s rally in Florida.
Jim Acosta blamed FOX News for whipping Trump supporters up into an ‘anti-CNN’ frenzy at a Tampa, Florida rally.
“My sense of it is that these opinions these folks have at these rallies, they’re shaped by what they see in the primetime hours of Fox News and what they hear from some conservative news outlets that just sort of give them this daily diet of what they consider to be terrible things we do over here at CNN,” Acosta told HLN’s S.E. Cupp
Acosta then attacked FOX News’ Sean Hannity Wednesday evening from his Twitter account, calling the conservative host a “propagandist for profit.”
Acosta tweeted: Hannity is a propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night. He says he’s just a talk show host, not a journalist. But he’s injecting poison into the nation’s political bloodstream warping public attitudes about the press. I’m confident in the long run the truth will prevail.

Jim Acosta continued his whining into Thursday after Sarah Sanders refused to publicly declare the media is not the enemy of the American people. Acosta called for protests at the White House after chaos erupted in the briefing room Thursday.
