Howie Kurtz on If CNN’s Acosta Is ‘Grandstanding’: ‘You Think?! Jim Acosta Always Makes It About Himself ‘

RUSH EXCERPT: 

REGAN: "President Trump getting a lot of cheers for that line in Pennsylvania. Taking on the media. Pointing to them in the back there. But how is this daily battle really going to play out? Let’s get the take from our media watcher, Howie Kurtz. Howie, his base loves it when they go after the media. Is it destructive in your view?"

KURTZ: "I think it’s distracting. I said many times, president Trump shouldn’t be using that phrase, enemy of the American people, even though his daughter says she doesn’t agree with that. Putting that aside, disgusting and fake, he has every right to hit back against the unfair coverage that surrounds him even when the news is good. For example, lately on the economy. But he’s doing it so often now that he lets the press make that the story instead of the issues."
