This Is CNN

Media 47 Comments

Time out:

CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta’s press pass to access the White House was suspended Wednesday, hours after he engaged in a contentious back-and-forth with President Trump.
 

Acosta tweeted: “I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit.”

He manhandled a young woman tasked with controlling the microphone. Video of the exchange at the link.

  1. Good.

    No enemy of the American people should be allowed within a thousand yards of the President of the United States, unless the President has accepted an invitation to watch the bastard be brought to justice with bullets, rope or rat poison.

  2. Don’t expect CNN to admit what he did to get kicked out. Or their viewers ever to find out.

    1. Hostile press gallery the day after an election they “won” is it not?
      Flipping channels this aft I caught a CTV national news report and it was all about Trumps bullying behavior but that was before they suspended Acosta. It’ll be interesting to see how the media reports on this development. Will they show the video of Acosta manhandling a young female aid? Will they call Acosta a bully? I understand CNN is circling the wagon but is the rest of the media obliged to protect Acosta also? Why can’t they call out one of their own? Just ONCE.

    1. Ed, reality no longer applies. Given that, I’d be delighted to see Acosta prosecuted for assault, however benign.

    2. There is an accepted decorum for these press conferences. Jim Acosta ignores all decorum … all the time. This action was taken against Acosta’s “body of work”. He gave the WH a perfect excuse for pulling his credential. Because he grabbed the mic. back from the young Intern. He “bullied” her! Yep … two can play that game. No more midterms! The gloves are coming off.

      Hey! Look at the bright side … now one of those subordinate women CNN Reporters will get to ask their question now that you’re gone, Jimmy. You know … the ones you try to pass the mic. to … instead of following decorum and handing the mic, to the nice, polite, cute, young Intern. What a prick.

      1. I think the President should restrict all reporters to one question and one only. Violate that rule and you are out. no agenda questions.

    3. Right. She’s just a girl and intimidating her from doing her job and using his larger size and greater strength to keep the mic was definitely ‘benign.’

      Now imagine it was Trump.

    1. Assholist is correct! And he’s definitely NOT a journalist, that’s for sure. It seems that Jim Acosta is more of a Democrat jihadist than anything else. His tweet about going to the White House for his 8pm ‘hit’ was NO mistake (although it may have been a Freudian slip). Every time Acosta goes to the White House it’s for a “Hit”. Watch the video again. He accused the President of ridiculous nonsense, behaved like a spoiled 2 year old, refused to shut up and let anyone else participate, and then ran crying to the MSM claiming the president is a bully. Acosta doesn’t publish news stories, he publishes hit pieces. His ‘news’ stories are like turds topped with whipped cream. It’s crap poorly disguised as news. Acosta views himself as a hit man whose purpose is to destroy Donald Trump. He’s been trying to do exactly that ever since Trump announced his candidacy. He’s a bellwether who demonstrates that Trump derangement syndrome is morphing into a real and frightening mental disorder.

  6. A white man. Who physically interacted with a woman. Live. On camera. But she’s a liar. No thanks, CNN, I choose to believe the woman. She is, what’s the term? … Credible.Thanks.

  7. He needs to be reassigned as a Canadian correspondent, so he can learn from our PM how to properly punch a woman in the tits.

    1. I am sure they are 1,000% behind him because it’s #BelieveAllWomenWhenItHelpsUs as the new hashtag.

    2. Of course they do … Acosta made the story about THEM … not the President or his policies. Acosta is a “crisis actor” … creating a new “crisis” every time he picks up the mic.

  9. He tried to take over the press conference while treating a WH intern like a tennis ball girl, insisting on another serve.

    Well done Jim. Suspension earned; doesn’t him win anything, let him martyr himself. How many journos did he crowd out?

    Now the world knows he’s a first class pr**k, except for the legions of people already aware. He must be very proud.

  10. I watched the incident live. This suspension is well earned and couldn’t happen to a more deserving scumbag. While not physically abusing Sarah Huckabee Sanders, he has treated her like dirt since the beginning of Trump’s administration.

    1. …that is to say B A, in other words, that Acosta is a corrupt journalist, working for a corrupt news network, supporting a corrupt political party.

    1. The contrast in behaviour of the media cartel towards Obama and towards Trump is very much that people should see.
      Think here there is slight and no chance in hell of that happening.
      Media cartel jihad is ON until the time Trump leaves the office of president, though it will continue indefinitely after that since they will have no “news” fit to print.

      Such is the state of so called “news”.

  13. Jim Acosta is a bit of a carnival barker, or host of the Jim Acosta show.

    Can you imagine if a reporter had addressed Obama that way?

  14. And now CNN will station Acosta outside the fence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. reporting on day #X of his banishment by the tyrant Trump. Mark my words.

  15. I seem to remember during a debate with Hillary that trump simply stood near her and CNN pissed their pants.

    Maybe we could get a split screen of both incidents.

    Never let this grandstanding buffoon back in.

    Actually JIM Acosta is the living embodiment of what the media falsely paints trump as.

  16. CNN says it never happened, that Sarah Sanders lied, that there was no incident

    Funny because I have just watched 3 different videos that all show the same incident of Jim Acosta of CNN ASSAULTING a woman

    CNN’s statement says

    — Sarah Sanders lied

    —she said something fraudulent

    —the incident never happened

    but millions of people have watched the video of the incident that DID happen

    CNN saying the incident never happened is probably one the best evidence that CNN is fake news

  17. Jim Acosta takes his own surname seriously.
    He is finally banned from the White House Press gallery. Good! What a pain in the assets!

    (From Late Latin: accostāre: to place side by side, confront, annoy, bother, cross, dare, entice, brace, challenge)

    1. I’m sure that in some language somewhere the term “jimacosta” means jackass.

      1. Yes probably, or it is someone with an accent complaining in slang that the breakfast jam is too costly!

        ( Hey a Ton-ee leava soma for ya Sistah, jim a costa too mucha!)

  19. If anyone ever needed a good old fashioned shit kicking its Acosta… frankly I’m surprised the Trump administration put up with his hysterical anti Trump act for so long… labeling Acosta a journalist is as dishonest as it gets… he’s an actor at best, a terrible actor far too dumb for any kind of real job… when Acosta isn’t performing his anti Trump song and dance routine which consists of Acosta shitting himself and then reaching into his pants and throwing the shit around the room he’s whining about how afraid he is of Trump supporters, a shit throwing asshole and a victim… the man is an embarrassment and a disgrace… he needs a good swift kick in the front hole.

  24. Had he been in Canada Jimmy could have elbowed her in the boob or groped her behind. It would have been a nothing to see her moment. And why crickets from the feminists?

  25. I don’t see what the problems is….Acosta kept interrupting….refused to give up the mic to the next person….refused to give up the mic when the aid tried to get it

    …so he gets a time out…..This should be his last warning….it he does it again make it permanent

    1. I may be wrong but I think Acosta has had a few warnings already, and so he should be permanently barred.

  26. He manhandled a young woman tasked with controlling the microphone. Video of the exchange at the link.
    He Jim Acosted a young woman tasked with controlling the microphone. Video of the exchange at the link.

  27. Journalists are some of the dumbest people on earth.

    Did this obnoxious, rude, entitled little man honestly think he was going to win a pissing match with Trump? Just how stupid can one be?

    Whatever these clowns may think of Trump, he is the President, and when he holds a press conference and answers questions journalists are there at his pleasure. If they don’t like it they can go and report on the local bake sale.

    Keep in mind too that the young lady who was trying to get the microphone was acting on behalf of Trump at his request to move to the next question. The simple act of refusing to give her the microphone was completely out of line.

    Well done Trump.
