CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta was accused of being dishonest over a tweet he sent while covering President Trump's immigration overhaul remarks.

In a speech given at the Rose Garden, President Trump detailed what he hoped would be included in a massive reform, including using a merit-based system for new migrants and ending the visa lottery.

Acosta opined from his account about a remark the president made about asylum seekers, accusing him of painting with a "broad brush."

Among the 85 viewers still left at CNN....did any of them get hyped up or care about what Jim said?

A non-partisan media would also make mistakes, since they are humans, except that 50 percent of their mistakes would be favorable to the president.

I cannot think of one ‘mistake’ by this media that has been favorable to the president.

This is not news, it would only be news if Mr. Acosta made an accurate and fair report on Mr. Trump’s remarks.

This is a dog bites man story. Now what would be news is if Acosta said something honest about Trump.

If it were up to me, Acosta would not be permitted on White House property. The Prez should have a 3 mile restraining order against Acosta.

Little Jimmy wants attention and twisting the truth is his proven method.

I think he was ignored as a child?

Little Jimmy says something stupid and PDJT always bitch-slaps has sorry ass. I guess he’s too stupid to learn.

What is perplexing to me is the MSM finally has something so big that reporting the truth will be their biggest achievement in their role as government oversight on behalf of the citizens of this country.

And instead, as usual they will lie about it, call it political retaliation and blame the President.
