CNN's Jim Acosta blasted for interrupting Dr. Birx to attack Trump

Another Trump-hater with an ego to match that of Megan Rapinoe, the purple-haired flag-dragger of women's soccer

CNN's Jim Acosta blasted for 'mansplaining' after interrupting Dr. Birx to attack Trump  . . . "Many took to social media to blast the reporter.
"Jim Acosta's interruption of Dr. Birx is an example of how CNN's echo-journalism model is destroying the media's credibility," George Washington University Law professor Jonathan Turley reacted. "Every question from Acosta is an effort to score points rather than elicit information. It is a press pandemic that continues to rage without relief." . . .
. . . "CNN did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
"Acosta has made a name for himself in the Trump era for his hostile exchanges with the president.
"However, he is even criticized among his White House press corps colleagues. In his new book, ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl knocked his CNN counterpart, accusing him of "playing into the explicit Trump strategy of portraying the press as the opposition party."
" 'The surest way to undermine the credibility of the White House press corps is to behave like the political opposition," Karl wrote. "Don't give speeches from the White House briefing room.' " . . .

Note to the Trump-hating media: Just shut up and say, 'Thank you'   . . . "Despite these advances on so many fronts, there are always several journalists in the crowd who come loaded only with gotcha questions.  Does your son-in-law know what he's doing?  Shouldn't you have reacted to this earlier?  It's the same questions, from the same folks, day after day.
"If he were more eloquent, he might drive home the point that New York is woefully short of ventilators because it chose to spend the state and city treasuries on other matters." . . .. . . "Perhaps I missed it, but not one of these highly paid gatherers of facts asked the governors of New York and Michigan why they had sharply limited the use of hydroxychloroquine or failed to stock sufficient quantities of ventilators." . . .
2019: A current CNN employee is shredding pseudo-journalist Jim Acosta just as the reporter’s forthcoming new book makes clear his anti-Trump bias. 
The second takeaway is how an employee of the very network Acosta works for told Fox News that insiders are pretty much embarrassed by Acosta.Shredding Private Acosta. The CNN employee stated that while Acosta is asking important questions, he tends to “grandstand” and make everything about himself. That’s the exact opposite organizations want from a reporter assigned to the White House.
2018: Jim Acosta Gets Bad News After What Cameras Caught Him Doing On D.C. Street  . . . "Perhaps the worst offender known to the American people right now is CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta. Not only is he the biggest whiner ever to hold a seat in the White House press briefing room, but he’s also made it his personal mission to make President Donald Trump look bad in any way possible — even if that means spreading falsehoods.
"Too bad for Acosta, the American people are just about fed up with his nonsense. Proving just that, a citizen journalist recently approached him on the streets, but things probably didn’t go how he was expecting. In fact, the moment Acosta noticed that things were going sideways, he bolted, only for the other reporter to later notice that he was visibly furious.

"According to the video on her Twitter account, Laura Loomer approached Acosta and started off the exchange with a seemingly harmless question. However, with his guard was down, she hit him right between the eyes with the thing he hates most — being called fake news to his face." . . .
