CNN's Jim Acosta: Media need 'different kind of playbook' for Trump
by Eddie Scarry | Dec 12, 2017, 11:54 AM

CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta said reporters must change the way they have traditionally done their jobs in order to effectively cover President Trump.

In an interview Tuesday on radio host Hugh Hewitt's show, Acosta defended his often confrontational approach to questioning White House officials.

"I think, you know, this is a different kind of president, Hugh," Acosta said. "We’re going to have a different kind of playbook when it comes to covering the president. That means at times, you know, I bring a little attitude to what I do on a daily basis."

He said that he often attempts to "throw them off their talking points" and said his audience would conclude he is a fair reporter.

He said that he often attempts to "throw them off their talking points"

And that usually makes him look like a jackass.

I've got the playbook for you, it's called "TELLING THE TRUTH!"

Trump brought a "different playbook," 18-24 months ago.

Nice to see this super-bright, self-congratulatory bunch is finally catching on. /s

Don't overlook the idea that Trump may be moving on to other methods that will continue to create moving target(s).

"Win Bigly" by Scott Adams informs readers of what Trump's methods, skills and aptitudes were and are.

Jimmy boy, it turns out is Sarah Huckabee Sanders' bitch.   That is a hell-of-a playbook to run with.
