CNN's Acosta slammed for saying Trump held 'fake news conference'

CNN reporter Jim Acosta took heat Thursday from conservatives on Twitter after the combative correspondent accused President Trump of holding a “fake news conference” -- and later spewed some "fake news" of his own when he claimed Trump misstated the number of intelligence agencies that concluded Russia meddled in the presidential election.

During a joint news conference with President Andrzej Duda in Poland, Trump took questions from reporters from The Daily Mail and MSNBC. But that apparently wasn’t good enough for Acosta, who’s no stranger to sparring with Trump and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

“Trump finally held a news conference overseas. But he took a question from a friendly reporter and then attacked CNN as ‘fake news,’” Acosta tweeted, adding: “Isn’t it a ‘fake news conference’ to take a question from a reporter who is essentially an ally of the White House?”

We’re expecting logical consistency and intellectual honesty from a Marxist Big Media propaganda mouthpiece ...

It appears Acosta has the same affliction as Brian Williams...

CNN totally took the bait and is now openly a non news network. I doubt they care, it’s just a branch office of the DNC.

How does this incompetent boob still have a job at CNN?
He is responsible for MOST of their trouble right now.

"....If CNN management had any brains they would remove him immediately from the White House beat....."

You're being too logical and rational.

Any organization reflects the guy at the top. In the case of CNN, it's Jeff Zucker. He is the face of CNN management.

Now pause for a moment to let that sink in and then read your comment again. You will see the folly in assuming that CNN management will do anything about Jim Acosta because his bosses agree with his behavior.

Acosta is just doing Zucker's bidding.

Doesn't that proof that the Corrupt News Network is just as irrelevant as Acosta is?

Wouldn’t that make every one Obama ever held fake?

Donald Trump is the man, while Little Jim Acosta is just a boy. The difference grows more stark by the day.
