Acosta: Americans ‘Don’t Have All Their Faculties’
Daily Caller ^ | 04/24/2018 | Amber Athey

“The problem is that people around the country don’t know it’s an act,” Acosta said of Trump labeling some news outlets “fake news.” “They’re not in on the act and they take what he says very seriously and they take attacks from Sean Spicer and Sarah Sanders and what they do to us on a daily basis very seriously.”

He added, “they don’t have all their faculties in come cases — their elevator might not hit all floors.”

“My concern is that a journalist is gonna get hurt one of these days,” Acosta concluded.

I wonder how an insurance agent or store owner would do insulting his customer base? How do journalists get away with it?

Actually, CNN’s own Brian Stelter pretty much made up the term in the days following the election.

Remember how the network late night shows used to be based on comedy? How is it good for advertisers to insult half of the viewers? Maybe they make money from overseas broadcasts?

“Actually, CNN’s own Brian Stelter pretty much made up the term in the days following the election.”

As Steve_Seattle pointed out above, you’re correct about the term, but many have been aware of the thing itself for decades.

In my case, since the early 1980s.

This is typical liberal elitism. Anyone who doesn’t believe as they do are knuckle dragging idiots. Remember Hillary’s deplorables and Obama’s bitter clingers? Liberals believe that non liberals are too dumb to make “right” decisions in their life and big government and liberal elites must make those decisions for them.

“Americans don’t have all their faculties”

Acosta is living proof of this.

The upcoming WH correspondents dinner would be a perfect place for a mass protest against the establishment media using every tactic the left employs against Trump supporters.

Too bad the right only rarely fights like the left.

Yes, Stelter popularized the term and repented hard at doing so, since it was smartly co-opted by Trump.

That day can’t come soon enough for me.
