Acosta sees himself as a hero.

Everyone else sees him as a partisan hack.

“Neutrality for the sake of neutrality doesn’t really serve us in the age of Trump.”

"serve us"? How about objectively reporting facts?

I don’t think he’d know neutrality if it bit him in the rear.

"when he called us ‘fake news’ it was, in his mind, an act"

The media has not only lost the ability to report objectively, but to also see themselves objectively. Their news IS fake. They filter only the information they want you to hear. They don't report, they proselytize, and they lie by omission if not outright make up false facts. And when they get caught at it, they say "we were just joking" or it was a "simple mistake".

I have no idea what that means.

Little Jimmy started screwing around on his wife, is that what he means by his life started “spinning out of control”?

So it’s Trump’s fault that he’s a scumbag philanderer. SMIRK.

WHAT neutrality?!?

Acosta has been the most partisan, rude, arrogant and vile White House Correspondent I have ever listened to.

The guy would not know neutrality if it bit him in his child-like ass.

Acosta speculates that Trump’s diatribes against the media are largely for show, writing “when he called us ‘fake news’ it was, in his mind, an act,”

Gosh Jim, speculation?

Any normal person would know by know, based on the rather "plain" statements President Trump has made not only about the press and specifically about (and to) you that you (and the majority of the press) are "fake news," it is not an act.

But then again you were the one that went on camera and said the border seemed to be altogether "quiet".

While you were standing next to the border wall...

Neutrality for the sake of neutrality
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sounds good, but I am not sure I have ever seen it practiced, at least not since I’ve been following things closely since the 1970’s.

The bastard wouldn’t know neutral if it smacked him in the face. His hard pass should be permanently revoked.

Acosta is playing the Dan Rather Card, be nasty attacking and high profile and do it repeatedly and you the journalist gets to be the news story and eventually will have a spot on one of the LSM channels.

Except that game plan no longer works.

There are too many media outlets and discussions and he just looks stupid, not heroic.

More DESPOTISM from the thugocracy on the Fascist Left.


Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w

“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx25aMPvbJo

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

I despise Acosta, but I really despise those screeching, screaming females that are no more polite than common heavy Mafia mob members.

No class, no common sense, no respect and no relevance.
