CNN vs President Trump: Jim Acosta is CNN's Abbott to Don Lemon's Costello

Trump rips into Jim Acosta for ‘nasty’ question, says this is why people ‘don’t want to listen’ to CNN   "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set the marker during her appearance Sunday on CNN that the new marching orders are to attack President Donald Trump for his handling of the Chinese virus COVID-19, which was hampered by an alleged early denial.
"With the coronavirus outbreak resulting in an unprecedented national emergency, as the U.S. economy has largely been shut down to counter the spread of the disease, the Democratic Party has fully politicized the crisis and their media allies have been quick to pick up on the marching orders.
"Eager to please, CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta confronted Trump Monday at a Rose Garden briefing, as if he was reading directly from Pelosi’s notes.
"“What do you say to Americans who are upset with you over the way you downplayed this crisis?” Acosta asked, before pointing to words of encouragement Trump made a few weeks back about the virus one day disappearing.
"Acosta then dropped the money line: “What do you say to Americans who believe that you got this wrong?” . . .

The CNN hack wasted the American public’s time by asking a horrid, gotcha question at the White House presser today.  . . . "On Monday the president was accompanied by Great American industry leaders who praised the administration and vowed to begin manufacturing gowns and medical supplies for our nation’s care givers. It was another wonderful display of American patriotism.
"But Jim Acosta had to make it about himself and asked a sick gotcha question about the president’s comments from weeks ago.
"Truly Disgusting." . . .
CNN’s Acosta: W.H. Briefing Had ‘PR Stunt’ from ‘Mr. Pillow’ Plugging His Company
. . . "On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta suggested that the White House’s coronavirus briefings could be “better designed” by not having “these PR stunts like Mr. Pillow coming out and giving a plug for his company, and that sort of thing.' ” . . .
Mike Lindell, founder of My Pillow answered the call, and converted 75% of his manufacturing capacity to make 50k N95 masks a day.
Yet the left wing media & blue checkmarks are outraged he mentioned God?
PBS Reporter: Covering Trump Is A ‘Team Sport’ For Press: We ‘Have Each Other’s Back’ In Opposition To President…
Alcindor described her role as a reporter this way: “Stay forward, stay focused, be steady and continue do the job you were there to do. For me it's a journalist, to hold presidents accountable and that's what I did today.”
Of course, she’s rushed to the defense of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, so maybe this doesn’t apply to all politicians. For more on Alcindor’s back and forth with Trump on Tuesday, go here.
