Media people used to be more professional than this.
A local sports reporter did exactly that on Twitter in a recent HS game in my area. He was disrespectful to the officials working the contest and unprofessional.

I'm certain that he enters the building for free with a media pass. I think that it would be great if the leadership of the officiating group would contact his employing company and express a concern about his social media behavior. I would even ask that they send a different reporter to cover future HS contests with their media credential.

How amusing would it be for him to get ejected and have to buy a ticket to get back in?
