Krakauer, who is now a media critic, has previously blasted Acosta’s “look at me!” antics during White House briefings, stating in June 2018 that Acosta was “Truly an embarrassment, on multiple levels.”
Sister Toldjah . . . CNN’s chief White House correspondent, known for being more of a showman than a journalist during White House pressers, has not only thoroughly embarrassed himself in recent weeks with his antics during the Wuhan coronavirus task for press briefings, but he also can’t seem to get much love from current and former colleagues.
"RedState’s Jeff Charles wrote earlier this month about how White House Correspondents’ Association president Jonathan Karl from ABC News busted on Acosta in a new book, writing that Acosta plays “right into the explicit Trump strategy of portraying the press as the opposition party” by acting like more of an “opinion journalist” than an objective journalist.
"On the heels of Karl’s rebuke comes one from former CNN producer Steve Krakauer, who roasted Acosta along with PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor in his Sunday newsletter.
"Krakauer started off by noting that he felt Acosta “could probably” turn into a “great White House reporter” if he wanted to, but that that clearly was not his goal:" . . .
