On CNN's "Twitter & Trump" special Tuesday night, CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta recounted his Wikipedia page being vandalized after being called "fake news" by President Donald Trump.
"The President of the United States called me fake news and on the day he called me fake news, somebody went on my Wikipedia page and changed my Wikipedia page to say that I had died that day, that I had died on January 11, 2017," Acosta said.
"Really," host Bill Weir flatly replied.
"That had to be taken down. I turned off my Twitter notifications because it became sort of this open sewer of hatred and contempt," Acosta said.
"I didn't choose for that to happen," Acosta continued. "But here's the question, Bill. What do we do about this? If the president calls us fake news do we just take it? Do we not say anything?"
No Jim. If I were accused of fake reporting, I wouldn’t just sit around and whine about it, and turn off those who were pointing it out. I would produce a factual accounting of how I was accurate, and the accuser was wrong. Of course, Jim, you can’t do that. Your reporting is truly “fake news”.
Well Acosta, if you don’t like being called for reporting fake news, you might try actually doing some honest reporting, and keeping your leftist bias and hatred for President Trump out of your jobs.

I don’t care what Acosta does. If doing fake news turns his crank, then do it idiot.
No, you engage in more #FakeNews...
This childish reaction when someone finally pushes back after decades of the media doing the SAME DAMNED THING is telling.
If the shoe fits...
“If the president calls us fake news do we just take it?”
Of course not. CNN won’t take it. Business as usual, they’ll just FAKE it, like they do with absolutely every story, every day.
What amazes me is how many morons get their news from CNN. (I know folks on this forum just watch it for opposition research purposes ;)).
No Jim, just double down on your lies.
Like 'Sort of' and 'Kind of', it's a weak way of speaking ... it turns the thought into a begging for agreement in the case of the valley girl tune ... and obviously 'sort of' and 'kind of' leaves weasel room for your thought not to be concise and exact (other than being a tribe-signal for support)
Libs ... followers ... all of them. Even their leaders merely follow their followers, so they go around in circles completely unlead by anything other than the wind of their own sin.
You...dirty...RAT.
‘’Listen mug!’’ Happy Thanksgiving. Get me?
