I wonder if he has the same worries when the press expresses hate and anger in their writing. Hell we see it all the time in this very forum. As I said the chants are uncalled for, but a member of the media to express his displeasure with it is ironic.  

The calls are uncalled for, that's pretty much what Acosta said, plus that it's indeed kind of unsettling and poses a potential danger. That he advocates suppressing speech or censoring people (whatever that means) is an assumption you make, it's not something he (or Dino or anyone "in this very forum") actually literally does. So all the irony you're constructing is based on your assumption alone, not on things really happening. That's the irony I see.

Also, I find your accusation of "written hate speech" to be strange as well. That reporting about Trump's deeds and being critical of them is percieved as so hateful that non-FOX press members have lost their moral right to name uncalled chants uncalled chants is unsettling too.
