Full title: CNN star Jim Acosta rips Kim Kardashian's prison reform meeting with Trump, but lauded John Legend's activism on same during Obama years.
CNN star reporter Jim Acosta slammed Kim Kardashian West’s meeting with President Trump regarding prison reform on Wednesday as “not normal,” but media watchers quickly pointed out his hypocrisy by pointing to Acosta's sitdown with singer John Legend's in 2015 during President Obama’s administration to talk about the exact same subject.
“She shouldn’t be here, talking about prison reform, it’s very nice that she is here but that’s not a serious thing to have happened here at the White House,” Acosta said on CNN Wednesday in the middle of a rant about Trump’s tweet regarding Roseanne Barr’s recent firing.
Acosta took issue with Kardashian West and Trump reportedly discussing prison reform and the possible pardon for a great-grandmother who is serving a drug-related life prison sentence. However, in 2015 Acosta sat down with Legend for a lengthy feature on mass incarceration and the criminal justice system.
When Legend declared that prison is not the solution to every problem, Acosta nodded approvingly before noting that prison reform is “personal” for the musician. Legend and his celebrity wife, Chrissy Teigen, visited the White House several times during the Obama administration and once hinted that they had sex at an “Obama thing.” Acosta never objected to any of Legend’s meetings with Obama.

And they claim they have absolutely no bias.
Star what?
Star Clymer?
Always have to keep one idiot around for an example to warn others not to trust and he’s the biggest one they could find.
Good point, a star Acosta is not.
Leftists are twisting themselves up into pretzel knots with their situational ethics.
A star is someone you keep hearing about, whether you like it or not. He fits the bill.
Hey Jim!
Are you afraid of having your RACE CARD undermined?

Why is he at CNN ? I mean it’s not like he does anything useful.
I am glad Trump shut down his constant screaming interruptions at press conferences... But i miss seeing him embarrassing himself.
“CNN star Jim Acosta”
And, there is the problem. These a$$hats think they are ‘stars’.
Put true journalists in the press pool, not these idiots who think they are as much a part of the story as the facts themselves.
Acosta is just mad she isn’t being called on more in White House press briefings.
“KK shouldn’t be here at the White House; only really important people like myself should be here.”
Acosta = an adult David “Camera” Hogg.
He’s always seeking attention and stating lies.
