That poster is correct. You need to broaden your horizons and watch other news networks or read different news sources with an open mind.
You guys are the ones constantly making threads about Acosta, so obviously it’s you all who need to broaden your horizons and quit focusing on one tough reporter. We aren’t the ones crying.

Again, Acosta had no issues with other presidents of both parties. Why? Because they weren’t lazy and unprepared for tough questions.

So why has Acosta seemed like a pain in the ass ONLY since 2016?

Trump doesn’t read. He doesn’t do his homework. He doesn’t listen to his advisors. He can’t even handle distilled briefs made specially for his short attention span.

None of that is the fault of Jim Acosta. So miss me with it.


Forget Trump for a minute.

In a presser the other day, Acosta tried to get the doctor to trash Trump by asking him if the administration's delay would cause more deaths.

What was the point of trying to pit the doctor against Trump?

Acosta isn't a journalist.....he's a partisan hack.

He's lucky Trump let him back in the press pool, much less actually takes questions from him

To the anti-Trump left he's a hero, to the hardcore pro-Trump crowd he's the devil. To a whole lot of people more in the middle that can be more objective he's clearly not a journalist, but more of a propagandist disguised as a journalist. It's pretty evident that he's agenda driven reporter.

The Who, What, Where, When and Why facts based unbiased reporting doesn't seem to be of concern to him.

Right on!



Propagandists have no business being in the WH press corp. That should be reserved for the apolitical journalists who can honestly report. Acosta is a hack. CNN is worse than The National Enquirer at this point.




Acosta should be put on the UFO desk.

His wife divorced him in 2017, so he's taking it out on Trump.

Acosta freaking HATES Trump. The man wears his hatred for Trump on his sleeve, and should never be allowed to say one word about Trump. It's like CNN hiring a journalist from ISIS and thinking the man can report honestly on stories about Israel.

Good analogy. Spot on with that one.

I've been surprised at how some of the reporters are acting during the pressers. I understand the idea of the press taking the president, any president for matter, to task on challenging situations. That under the guise of good faith driven reporting to the American people is great, we need a free and open press and media for that purpose.

So much of that is gone these days. The questions asked by some are clearly so loaded it's a joke to even call those types reporters.

Bottom line is that they are like a Rabid Mob - the Rudeness on display is disgusting.

You know it's bad when the President of the White House Correspondents says Acosta is out of control.

White House Correspondents' Association president chides Jim Acosta for acting like 'part of the resistance' |Washington Examiner - 4/1/2020

White House Correspondents' Association President Jonathan Karl rebuked his colleague Jim Acosta of CNN for his conduct on the job.

Karl, chief Washington correspondent at ABC News, provided the criticism of his fellow White House reporter both in his new book Front Row at the Trump Show, released Tuesday, and during recent interviews.

In the book, he argued Acosta, who has had a multitude of verbal dust-ups with President Trump during press briefings, was "playing into the explicit Trump strategy of portraying the press as the opposition party" and encouraged him not to "give speeches from the White House briefing room."

Karl later told The Daily Beast, “Regarding Jim Acosta, to paraphrase Voltaire, I will defend to the death his right to report from the White House, but I have some issues with the style in which he has done so … We can be tough, we can call out things that are not true, we can be aggressive in our questioning, but I don’t think we should act like we are part of the resistance.”


The PBS propagandist said it best - "It's a TEAM Sport" to attack the President of the United States.
Orange Man very,very,very BAD!!!

They are what they are - The Resistance, just as ABC New Jon Karl (who hates Trump a LOT) said.
They exposed themselves and they are paying the price for that ...... and will pay more.

Nobody cares what these Propagandist Resistance people say/write ... except the Sheeple of course.
