Trump Refuses CNN’s Acosta Pleas: ‘I Don’t Take Questions from Fake News’
Breitbart ^ | 13 Jul 2018 | Michelle Moons

President Donald Trump refused pleas for a question from CNN’s Jim Acosta during Friday’s joint press conference in the U.K. with Prime Minister Theresa May.

It was President Trump’s turn to call on a reporter for a question when Acosta began shouting, “Since you attacked CNN can I ask you a question?” He continued to make pleas for a question as Trump called on John Roberts of Fox News.

Does Acosta consider himself a person of color?

CNN has lost its right to sit at the table, They have zero credibility and have become a propaganda agency for the communists.

Actually, he does. He is part Cuban American. And he often plays the Hispanic card.

“They have zero credibility and have become a propaganda agency for the communists.”

Don’t disagree - but if zero credibility were the sole determining factor in whether to call on someone at press conferences, ABC, CBS, NBC as well as the Washington Post and New York Times would be ignored as well.

But then again, I’d be OK with that.

Well of course you are right. Actually even worse than CNN is MSNBC. Have you ever watched that tripe. Honestly, it is not even reality. It is some sort of fictional creation of leftist garbage. I watch it some times ,if I am bored,for entertainment. I find it knee slapping funny.
