Why does the media do their reporting at Trump's rallies?

Jim Acosta is currently at Trump's rally today talking about CNN's normal breaking news coverage. Why do we need to hear about breaking news with a bunch of deranged, morally bankrupt Trump worshippers in the background?

It is so disgusting to me that people still attend his Nazi rallies.

and he's in the WH.

Of course, they're going to cover it.

Plus, we want them to cover it so if the crowds do their horrific chants or beat up a protester, it will be on TV for the world to see.
