"Jim Acosta: "This is this is not Fox, congressman. You can't just spin a tale and pull the wool over people's eyes. This is CNN. This is the news. We are asking you to come on and tell the truth."

Tim Burchett: "And that's why more people are watching the Cartoon Network, SpongeBob reruns right now. Jim, look, I left the White House during a riot. My life was threatened. My life has been threatened within the last few weeks, yet there's no coverage of that. And you all continue this, this narrative of attacking Trump. You just can't stand the fact that he won and that America spoke and that your view is very diminished."

Acosta: "That's not the case at all!"

Burchett: "And your view is very diminished!

A better way is to ignore them. I am mystified why Republicans still go on CNN.

I saw the clip of that, kick in the nuts for sure.

The better way is to never go on CNN.

I just read that Acosta is mad because he’s getting demoted to a midnight slot. I laugh in his direction.

As long as they bust their ass like this guy did I’m fine with it

Isn’t Acosta moving to the midnight slot, where his viewership will go from 100 to 50.

I’m so afraid that I’m going to wake up and find that the last ten weeks have only been a dream.

Actually, you just woke up from a 4 year nightmare.

I have no problem with it—as long as they go on North Korean TV as well.

Otherwise—forget it—enemy occupied territory.

There is some value in recon-by-fire. Jim Acosta's world view needs to be shown even if the result is an on-air food-fight.
