What a ridiculous, ludicrous, fat little man.
Acosta said this in the course of admitting that he wouldn’t be grandstanding or trying to take down Biden.
CNN’s Jim Acosta was accused of being “literally delusional” on Tuesday after admitting he doesn’t plan to cover Joe Biden’s presidency as actively as he did the Trump administration, claiming covering Trump was “an experience that might merit hazard pay.”
A piece published by The Atlantic on Tuesday, “The Resistance’s Breakup With the Media Is at Hand,” by McKay Coppins notes, “The White House spent four years vilifying journalists” and asked, “What comes next?” Coppins noted “the Trump era has been especially rewarding to a certain class of Washington reporter,” which includes CNN’s Acosta.
“As the White House beat became the biggest story in the world, once-obscure correspondents were recast in the popular imagination as resistance heroes fighting for truth, justice, and the American way. They were showered with book deals, speaking gigs, and hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers,” he wrote, pondering what reporters who “got famous fighting with Trump” plan to do next.
…”You can’t just go and trash the press and totally lie to the American people and tell them real news is fake news… I don’t think the press should be trying to whip up the Biden presidency and turn it into must-see TV in a contrived way,” Acosta told Coppins.
Coppins admitted it sounded like a “double standard,” but Acosta maintained that Trump’s treatment of the press was a “nonstop national emergency” that warranted harsh coverage.
CNN’s “fact-checker” admits he will be taking the next four years off:
Acosta’s colleague, CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale, also admitted he won’t cover Biden the way he handled Trump.
“It will not be a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week job to fact-check Biden,” Dale told Coppins, who noted that the CNN fact-checker feels Biden doesn’t lie as often as Trump so his role will largely shift to “debunking online disinformation and digging into claims made by congressional leaders.”
Many took to Twitter to mock the CNN staffers for essentially admitting they won’t cover Biden as thoroughly as they did Trump.
Meanwhile, bitchmade fake toughguy Jake Tapper is complaining that Trump retweeted a tweet that called him “Fake Tapper.”

Jake, we’ve always gotten along, but I know you realize that a town endured a heartbreaking tragedy and CNN created an entire town hall around it that made mean tweets look like child’s play. https://t.co/rYXeyuJdd3

This is so Fake Tapper — he’s putting on his hero act, criticizing Trump for engaging in a squabble while people are dying.
REAL news? You mean like Trump colluding with Russia, Cohen going to Prague, Carter being a Russian spy or Trump and the showering hookers? THAT “real” news? Someone name ONE thing Acosta got right.
Well, of course not. All that needs to be determined (and this could be a REAL task) is to determine if Beijing Biden is lying or just stupid.
I wonder, who actually thought the media would be 1/10,000th as tough on the lying idiot CCP agent Biden as they were on Trump? Didn’t their treatment of Obama give us any clues?
Now, because the questions are too probing or tough, Biden shuts off “chat” function on powder-puff Zoom calls. I guess even questions about how bad Trump is are getting too tough.
This guy is a complete disaster. How long will even the groveling media put up with this cowardice?
@Deplorable Me: The wrong powderpuff question Acosta is toast.
The only fault I find with the media is their failure to call Trump a liar from the start.
@Greg: lol thinking he would be easy for the Clinton machine to take out they gave him billions of free air time, most of it negative but airtime.
His disinformation campaign through the leakers was hilarious!
Acosta is a piss pants drama queen.
@Greg: When Biden said no one lost their insurance due to Obamacare, did he lie? When he said Trump called Nazis “fine people”, did he lie? When Biden said ANTIFA and its violence was nothing but an “idea”, did he lie? When he said Democrats had put together the most extensive organization for fraud, did he lie?
Yeah, you, of course, see no problem with the lying, fake news media promoting the lie that Trump stole the 2016 election, that he was a Russian agent, that he was a traitor, the he (not Biden who ADMITTED it) committed quid pro quo, that lied about the evidence against Joe and Hunter being “Russian disinformation”, that buried the story of the Biden’s CCP related corruption, and which is not burying the fact that Ossoff is in the CCP’s pocket and Warnock is a child abusing, wife abusing, America-hating racist. That’s just the kind of shit you LOVE.
I expect you are pleased that Biden can just tell ALL the media to go away and leave him alone, no questions, no answers, no transparency. Total corruption, which matches the fraudulent election well.
@Greg: Everyone that voted for that idiotic fool Biden should be FORCED to watch this. THIS is what you voted for.
