“Here are some of the steel slats that the president’s been talking about,” Acosta said while reporting from the southern border. “But as we’re walking along here, we’re not seeing any kind of imminent danger.”

The CNN reporter added, “There are no migrants trying to rush toward this fence.”

It’s like those reports that crime rates have fallen in spite of rising prison populations.

Acosta should review correlation vs causation.

I thought the same thing but was going to say Jim is on Trump’s payroll. This video will earn a big bonus for Jim.

The old adage is, “It takes a lot of ‘atta’boys’ to overcome one “aw $h/+”...”.

Lately Acosta has had a lot...A LOT...of “aw $h/+s”, and it going to take a ton of “atta boys” to overcome those.

He should apply to a 250-AM, daytime, radio station in Bumf*ck, Idaho, to hide for a few years and work on his attitude and credibility.
