After being absent for much of the last two weeks, Jim Acosta reappeared at today’s Coronavirus Task Force press conference. As he always does, Acosta failed to ask anything relevant, instead attempting to engage the President of the United States in a debate.
He failed miserably. Here’s the clip – watch as Trump brutalizes the preening little peacock and the airport-based CNN:

"Instead of asking a nasty, snarky question like that, you should ask a real question and other than that, I’m going to go to somebody else."

Shortly later, the President chose to call on PBS’s Yamichi Alcindor, who, like Acosta, chose to waste everyone in America’s time yet again with another failed “gotcha” question about coronavirus testing. After lambasting her one more time for almost a full minute, the President ended the event.
Now, obviously, the President likes to spar with raging morons like these two because it invariably improves his standing among his loyal base of voters. I don’t blame him – these two dim bulbs are very easy targets and richly deserve everything he dishes out. But the reality is that it has become a tiresome exercise, one that wastes the entire country’s time, especially in the context of these daily updates during which so much actual important information is delivered to the public.
The President and his communications staff need to stop giving these two – or anyone else CNN sends to the updates – face time. The country has seen quite enough of both of them, and their inevitable grandstanding, while it provides the President great opportunities to slam them and their corrupt media operations, has become such a distraction that it takes away from the substance of the events.
Sunday was a great example: At that update, the President announced major news, the extension of the federal stay-at-home and social distancing guidelines all the way through the end of April. Yet, the main moment that the media obsessed on came when the President confronted the execrable Alcindor.

This needs to stop. It is counterproductive for the President, and it is counterproductive for the nation. If they cannot conform themselves to some semblance of journalistic integrity at these events, then the President should simply refuse to recognize them.
Enough.
That is all.
Acosta is a tool, no doubt!
It’s not a waste of time when it shows the reporters to be abject morons and ghouls.
At first, I thought you were referring to that boneheaded athlete Lew Alcindor.
These two are actually Trump supporters. You can tell by how they go out of their way to make Trump look good.
More Jim Acosta! More! We need more clowns. In Israel, clowns are used in hospitals to calm children who are terrified of needles and hospital smells and sitting still for hours. At Trump Pressers, Jim Acosta is used for public entertainment, because he totally doesn’t get what an ass he is. It’s like Bottom the Weaver come to life.
I remember him when he came to the Milwaukee Bucks in the late 60s..
Waiting for some to change the words to “Send in the Clowns” to “Send in the Acostas”.
Trump Needs to Stop Wasting the Nation’s Time With Hacks Like Acosta and Alcindor
+++
They are the highlight of the press conference.
Today Trump ended it right after Chubby asked her stupid question and he gave he a good dressing down.
Not coincidence as I see it.
Dear Diary....
Trump needs to waive them off and just say “no, the country doesn’t have the time for your nonsense “ before they even get a question out.
What dimwit asked if the President could guarantee the ventilator supply curve could equal the need curve?
Shallow question teed up to make a future headline.
Acosta is a Covid-19 hack from deep in the lungs.
We’re paying the salary for the short, fat, noxious one. She works for PBS which operates for some crazed reason, on taxpayer money and spews forth leftist garbage all day and night that we paid for, damnit.
They would rather take down a President than get life saving information to the public.
PBS got 65 million in the Corona Porkulus.
I don’t think the President needs to change a thing. He turns it to his (our) advantage in a most entertaining way.
"Damiche, you ignorant slut....we have a lot more people than everyone except China , but we've done/doing more testing than anyone, but you won't like it because it will reduce our death rate....you're supposed to be educated...did you take any math in school, or geology."
I used to like Lew Alcindor before he became a fanatical fool.
Woe to this reporterette, is she related to him?
