Sean Hannity smacks down ‘lying’ and whining CNN host Jim Acosta with one lethal tweet
The National Sentinel ^ | 8/2/18 | USA Features

Posted on 08/02/2018 1:30:56 PM PDT by SleeperCatcher

Smackdown: The cable news ‘wars’ between Left and Right media outlets continued on Thursday in the form of a back-and-forth on Twitter between whiny Jim Acosta of CNN and Sean Hannity of Fox News.

Earlier this week Acosta was butt-hurt after being harangued and harassed and properly labeled a purveyor of “fake news” while covering a Florida campaign rally featuring POTUS Donald Trump.

As Breitbart News reports, Acosta whined about it during his broadcast, at one point even claiming it felt like he was in a different country.

Acosta acts like he is the only journalist (alleged that is) whois entitled to ask whatever questions he wants to ask no matter how ridiculous the question is and demand he gets the answer he wants.

Jim Acosta can be an honest journalist or a Trump hating propagandist. He can’t be both.He is in fact and deed a biased propagandist. Notice how like all leftist lowlifes he claims victim status.

CNN’s entire purpose is to trash President Trump..notice they NEVER call him President..they refer to him as Donald or Trump, never as President Trump, because they refuse to acknowledge that he won the election. In their minds he stole the election from precious Hillary Clinton, who they worked SO hard to get elected, and gave the debate questions in advance to because they knew what an absolute idiot she is, she needed the questions to be given to her

I think Acosta LOVES it.

He’s a nobody, but without all the drama he’d be a nobody that NOBODY talks about.

Bad recognition better than none.

“CNN needs to be taken off air and it’s bosses arrested,”

CNN needs exactly what it has — dropping viewership and a new corporate owner (ATT) that is under sales and margin pressure.

The current CNN brand positioning is not resonating with the viewing public as evidenced by declining viewership and ratings. ATT just made a HUGE investment in purchasing CNN and its parent company. ATT stockholders are pressuring ATT to increase its sales and profitability. ATT must be looking at the viewership bleed at CNN and considering other options.

Ultimately the marketplace will determine how CNN behaves. ATT cannot afford to be as indulgent as Time Warner.

Should we all just forget that CNN was faking the news out of Iraq in the early 2000s, just to maintain access to Saddam Hussein?

I make every effort to listen to Hannity on the radio, but I just can't! His friggin' repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat and repeat again, drives me crazy!

That said, Sarah Huckabee Sanders handed Acosta (and the media in general) his ass today!
