CNN’s Jim Acosta on Sunday slammed Fox News as “state-supported media” that serves as a mouthpiece for the Trump administration.

Speaking to CNN’s “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter, Mr. Acosta fired back at criticism from Fox News pundits who accused him of attention-seeking for regularly shouting questions at President Trump during inopportune moments. Mr. Acosta said conservatives pick on him because they no longer have Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

“The president and Fox News, they don’t have Barack Obama around anymore,” Mr. Acosta, CNN’s chief White House correspondent, said. “They don’t have Hillary Clinton. Although they go after her a lot. They replaced Obama and Hillary. They need somebody to attack. I think that we’ve sort of filled that role.

Hilarious, few people in the media think more highly of themselves than grandstanding Acosta, he should check network viewership ratings.

Fox News tries for “Fair and Balanced”
CNN should try it, too.

Next time we do a FReep, someone should bring a bullhorn with MAGAphone stenciled on both sides. Hilarious!

Lot of Trump haters on Fox - including the gay Shep Smith.

Half of Fox’s staff are Democrats. They are based out of liberal New York.

State run media = ABC/CBS/CNN/NBC all of which are in the tank for the globalists who have taken over the Democrat and Republican party.

Fox is run by the Never Trump wing of the party. With a few key exceptions in the evening hours they handle Trump with less respect than they did Obama.

Poor little Jimmy. He has flat lost it. The poster boy for Trump Derangement Syndrome. I’m surprised CNN hasn’t dumped his @$$ by now. I guess it shows how hard it is for CNN to find reporters. Nobody in their right mind wants to work there.

State supported media as in “deep state”? That would be CNN, MSNBC, NPR and countless others.

But not Lou Dobbs or Hannity! And if you think they’re liberal, go tune in one of the Alphabet soup channels. It’s no wonder we’re in a communication crisis. Most people get there news there.

At best, 5 million people watch a typical Fox News program, but every one of Trump’s tweets goes out to 53 million followers...why doesn’t Acosta go accost Twitter instead?
