CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta said reporters must change the way they have traditionally done their jobs in order to effectively cover President Trump.

In an interview Tuesday on radio host Hugh Hewitt's show, Acosta defended his often confrontational approach to questioning White House officials.

No playbook needed - just try factual, non-biased reporting. No?

[DoughtyOne]

Like perhaps reporting the truth from now on?

Now there’s a novel idea.

[Enchante]

Try honesty! That’s the “best policy” and the best “playbook” Mr. Acosta.

[HombreSecreto]

June 16, 2015 - Trump announces candidacy

December 12, 2017 - CNN realizes they need to adjust their “journalism” tactics

Further proof that journalists are the best third rate minds in the country.

[Slyfox]

First, get rid of all the copies of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."

Then, fire all the people who had a copy in their desk.

Then, close up shop cuz you are done.

[1Old Pro]

He is a partisan hack activist pretending to be a journalist.

[xp38]

Their all out political assault isn’t working .

[seawolf101]

They have tried everything but honesty. What a novel idea.

[mass55th]

Give up Jim, you’re not smart enough to think up a new playbook for Trump.

[BenLurkin]

They’re going to stop being partisan hacks who constantly shill for the Democrat Party?

[ClearCase_guy]

The goal — “Get Trump”.

Strategy #1 — FAIL
Strategy #2 — FAIL
Strategy #3 — FAIL
Strategy #4 — FAIL

Finally — after more than 2 year, the media comes to the conclusion: “We need another new strategy”.

[MagUSNRET]

Acosta is one of those people that are just begging to have the ever lovin snot slapped out of them!

[Little Pig]

Didn’t Acosta just get bum-rushed out of Trump’s Defense Bill signing for disrupting the event by shouting out questions?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah they mean after 8 years of kissing Obama’s ass because they agreed with his far left Commie agenda..and since they totally FAILED in getting Hillary Clinton elected..they will do EVERYTHING in their power now to destroy Trump because they hate his agenda

[Lopeover]

You don’t need a play book. You need journalism 101, ethics, objectivity, and good manners.

And if you want to really live in a communist country renounce your citizenship and MOVE!

[gunnyg]

Dont let the ballcap fool ya—he’s not Joe SixPak—he’s Mike Hammer! (-)the fedora!

[Frapster]

I don’t know the timing of his ‘we need a new strategy’ quote... but I suspect it was his way of defending his rudeness at the presser.

[FreedBird]

The Media needs honest believable, credible people who do not look in the camera and tell lie after lie, for political reasons.
