CNN’s Jim Acosta has quickly become the nation’s most disliked White House correspondent—not only because he works for CNN, but also just because he’s Jim Acosta, and he’s kind of obnoxious.


Acosta reportedly interrupted Sean Spicer continuously during Monday’s press briefing, as he often does.


The Daily Caller says Acosta interjected and spoke over other journalists repeatedly after Spicer asked him to stop.


Amazingly, when the briefing was over, Acosta did a stand-up shot and complained on CNN that the network had been “blackballed” by the White House.

Acosta threw a temper tantrum because he cannot accept the idea that the MSM is being pushed aside by the Trump administration. CNN rules the agenda! CNN calls the shots! This is what he is used to and it no longer works. So, he is freaking out about being put on the back burner.


Someone should get him a pacifier so he can take a nap and feel better.

He talked over Spicer AND other journos when they were asking questions?

Me, I'd be telling CNN that they need to send a reporter with a few manners, and that Acosta were no longer welcome at the press briefings.

Simpatico. That was my first thought as well. His behavior was certainly rude and disruptive enough to justify his being banned from the briefing.

There's this nifty device called a taser.

It's tremendously underused in our society.

He needed to be tased. He was definitely throwing a tantrum.

First Acosta.... now Brian Karem.   These pressholes are throwing tantrums by assaulting the Trump administration spokesmen/women.  I would revoke their press credentials and deny them access to ANY press briefing, on camera or otherwise, unless or until they apologized.  But that's just me.

It was unprofessional on top of all that.  Something that has significant meaning in that location.

Seems the prerequisite for working as a CNN reporter is to be a Douchebag.

[DCPatriot]

Playing to/for the camera is what separates the stars from the herd.

To deny them that...no wonder they're screaming bloody murder.

Well of course. Most of the time they are not 'asking a question', they are instead making a speech. If their questions aren't aired, that takes a lot of wind out of their ability to shape the agenda.

CNN’s Jim Acosta Complains That White House Takes Questions From Conservatives

Posted By Chuck Ross On 4:35 PM 06/27/2017 In | No Comments

CNN reporter Jim Acosta complained Tuesday that White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was taking too many questions from conservatives.

“Does this feel like America?” Acosta complained on Twitter. “Where the White House takes q’s from conservatives, then openly trashes the news media in the briefing room.”

  :hard crying: :LAME:

[jmyrlefuller]

Well, they can always try the gay smears, like they did against Jeff Gannon.

[Free Vulcan]

Suck it CNN. Stomp and keep stomping them.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

If only one time a conservative was asked a question it would be the same response from CNN>

Acosta is a major fool.

[DCPatriot]

Acosta got sexually aroused when he was appointed CNN's White House 'correspondent'.

They've all been conditioned to wake up each morning with one career goal.   Win the daily "Gotcha, Sucker!"   And to do it 'LIVE', on camera!

He's what's referred to, as collateral damage in CNN's poorly executed business model.

Unprofessional?

---

It should fit right in with the current administration, then... yes?

I'd think those applauding Trump for his unprofessional, unpresidential behavior would be consistent and applaud a reporter for his unprofessional, unreporter-like actions.

(Hypocrisy is bad, in case it's not apparent.)

Do I like Trump's tweets? Not really.

Do I think the fate of the free world hinges upon his ability to refrain from tweeting? Not really.

Does the mainstream media's twisting & selective application of facts, prevarications, lies and plain blood liable under the cover of news journalism in service of their political agenda concern me far far more? I believe it does.

   Well said

Liberals love to rebrand themselves every few years and I'm sure they've been busy test marking all sorts of new variations.  "Resistors" has already been taken, plus it presents a spelling challenge to the bulk of their followers.  "The Bad Seeds" won't do well in any test market.  I'll toss out one they should consider - CNN's Bitch.

I'd tell him that he could come back only after an apology.  A sincere apology (no eye rolling like Griffin).  Decorum is required for the press for a change.  If they want in the WH.  If not, their loss.

I would think you could take penicillin for that, or maybe a different antibiotic.
