UPDATE, with video CNN punched back, as President Donald Trump would say, at POTUS's attack on the cable news network's correspondent Jim Acosta at this morning's White House presser.
"This President's ongoing attacks on the press have gone too far," CNN said in a statement sent out on Twitter.
"They are not only dangerous, they are disturbingly un-American. While President Trump has made it clear he does not respect a free press, he has a sworn obligation to protect it. A free press is vital to democracy and we stand behind Jim Acosta and his fellow journalists everywhere."
Trump's morning post-midterms presser turned into an historic White House brawl when Acosta poked the presidential bear with his line of questioning about Trump's Caravan Invasion rally rhetoric.
