CNN's Acosta sends private message to former Melania Trump aide: 'F**k you'

[left-of-center2012]

CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta sent a direct message to a Twitter follower that read "F**k you" after being mocked on the social media platform on Thursday night.

The response came after Caporale jokingly responded to an Acosta tweet reporting on a rally in Montana featuring President Trump on Thursday.

"Tonight the Trump campaign/WH turned up the music so loud the press risers were vibrating," wrote Acosta. "Nearly impossible to do live TV. I suppose the WH loves those kinds of shenanigans. But I wonder if it’s a security concern for USSS [United States Secret Service] or local law enforcement. They can’t hear either."

Caporale responded by writing "Dear Diary..." in an attempt to mock Acosta.
“Fuck you,” Acosta wrote to Caporale, using Twitter's private direct message option.

1. The music was stupid loud.

My husband and son were miles away from the nazi rally in the parking lot of our business watching for AF1 to fly by and both said the music was so loud where they were you could tell what songs were playing.

4. Did they have scanners capable of listening to aviation frequencies, or the 5-0 app on a device?

AF1 uses the normal civilian aviation frequencies. For some odd reason, pilots on aircraft flying in airspace occupied by lots of other aircraft think it's a good idea they all be able to listen to each other. Accordingly, AF1 uses plain Jane frequencies used by everybody else. I don't ordinarily listen to the aviation bands, but when AF1 is in the air, anybody with a scanner that does receive aviation frequencies can hear the pilot of AF1 talking to nearby facilities.

Let's what we have for Missoula:

KMSO, Missoula International Airport

Airport Communications
CTAF: 118.4 {i.e. 118.4 MHz, AM. Most scanners will be able to hear this.}
UNICOM: 122.95
ATIS: 126.65
WX ASOS: 126.65 (406-728-3743)
MISSOULA GROUND: 121.9 [0600-2200]
MISSOULA TOWER: 118.4 377.175 [0600-2200]
SPOKANE APPROACH: 124.9
SPOKANE DEPARTURE: 124.9
IC: 124.9

APCH/DEP SVC PRVDD BY SALT LAKE ARTCC ON FREQS 133.4/285.4 (MILLER PEAK RCAG) WHEN APCH CTL IS UNAVBL FOR MSO FROM 2320-0700.
MILLER PEAK RCO 122.45 (GREAT FALLS RADIO)

Very High Frequency (VHF-AM)

• Radio frequency range from 30 MHz to 299 MHz. The sub-bands most commonly used by fire are:

• VHF-FM Lo band: Frequency Modulation 30 MHz - 80 MHz, of which fire frequencies are between 30 MHz and 50 MHz.
• VHF-FM Hi band: Frequency Modulation 150 MHz - 174 MHz. This is the most widely used band by fire agencies.
• VHF-AM: Amplitude Modulation. This band is commonly referred to as the "Victor or VHF" band. The frequency range is from 118 MHz to 136 MHz. The only authorized use of this band is for aviation. The FAA controls and assigns all frequencies within this sub-band.

Acronym:
VHF-AM

5. They kind of have to to use public facilities to land and take off and shit...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

7. {with a rising tone:} Y-e-s-s-s-s-s?

Checking my mid-'90s vintage Uniden Sportcat 180 (SC180B) scanner, I see I have aviation frequencies in banks 8, 9 and 10. They cover KIAD, KDCA, and KADW. I'm too far from KBWI to hear many comms from that.

Keep your ears on.

2. A better tweet would have been

You know, medicare doesn't cover hearing aids.

[Fla Dem]

3. I wish the press wouldn't cover them at all. What's the point. nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. That wouldn't please tRUMP at all.

8. Oh, the Hill.

The publication that never disappoints when it comes to stirring up wingnut outrage.

[tritsofme]

10. I think they just pay staff to write about what's trending on Twitter.

[left-of-center2012]

11. Here's the truth about The Hill ...

“All news stories are sourced to either journalists in the field or credible media sources.
Story selection slightly favors the left, but is generally balanced.

Overall, we rate The Hill slightly Left-Center biased based on story selection
and High for factual reporting.”

12. I'm not saying they lie.

As for the bias report above, I disagree, especially recently.

9. Hm. This adds an interesting detail to

my suspicion that orange infant is on board with Fox not airing his rallies anymore. My gut reaction was that they are such cheerleaders for him that it must be beneficial to him in some way that they are not doing so. I thought it was so he could play being even more victimized. But, if the rally organizers are now playing music so loudly that the journalists can’t air their segments, that would include Fox, and they’re all ok with that if it furthers shitstain’s agenda of making it harder for all the others.

13. Those were my thoughts as well.
