WATCH: Acosta Talks About His New Book And Proves, Once Again, He Doesn't Understand Why He's The 'Enemy Of The People'

CNN's Jim Acosta has made a household name for himself – and not in a good way. He has become the face of "fake news" and shoddy reporting. He's really great at breaking rules and pretending he's somehow the victim. Does his press pass being revoked for pushing an intern ring a bell? He's now using his experiences to write a "tell-all" type of book about what it's like reporting on the Trump administration.

Acosta is releasing his new book, "The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America," on Tuesday. Immediately, people noticed something about the cover:

Acosta kicked off his book promotion by discussing the book with Brian Stelter on Sunday morning. The two discussed why Acosta felt compelled to write the book and what it means to be a journalist in America today.

"I wanted to send a message to folks who really care about what we do and the message is basically this: I did not want my children to grow up in a country where the press is called 'the enemy of the people.' Brian, you and I have grown up in a country where the last several decades here where Republicans and Democrats wanted to be in power in Washington but they didn't demonize us to this extent. I think it's gotten– I think it started off as an act based off my reporting," Acosta explained.

Even if I were a liberal Trump hater, why would I buy a book by such a minor actor? I hope sales suck.

Journalism to Acosta, his colleagues at CNN, MSNBC,NBC, The Guardian and others is not the objective reporting of events but is really the framing of events within the texture of an acceptable narrative. The purpose of course is to advance an agenda. They censor, spin or falsify “reporting” on any events that do not correspond with their narrative and definition of “truth”. Recently they have been augmented by like minded leftists who are managing social media networks. Make no mistake. If these vile propagandists succeed and the Democrats win the next election, it is not hyperbole to predict that the American nation and its heritage are at severe risk. People like the vile Acosta must be defeated.
