CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta took fire on social media Tuesday as critics suggested he was downplaying serious mistakes made by the World Health Organization (WHO) to go after President Trump.

During Tuesday's coronavirus task-force briefing, Trump said he may put a "very powerful hold" on funding to the WHO as he lashed out at the United Nations specialized agency and accused it of "being very China-centric" amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Reiterating his complaints from a tweet earlier in the day, the president said the WHO "has been wrong about a lot things." Trump has been critical of the WHO for opposing travel restrictions from China and Europe.

Acosta needs to be banned from further press conferences. If any other CNN reporters comes to fill his place with further game playing, ban CNN.

Same News hosts always trying to make themselves the lead news stories. Gluttonous fools for the limelight.
