CNN's Jim Acosta, Anderson Cooper called out for partisan commentary after Trump's Rose Garden remarks: 'Sad resistance performance art'

CNN appeared particularly peeved that President Trump veered off-script Tuesday by attacking presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the Rose Garden, unleashing the liberal network’s reporters and anchors to criticize and offer partisan opinions of the event.

Conservative communications strategist Chris Barron said CNN has dropped journalism for “sad resistance performance art” since Trump took office, and Tuesday was simply the latest example.

“CNN is a collection of the least self-aware people on the planet. Their 24/7 rants about Trump speak more about themselves than they do about the President,” Barron told Fox News. “CNN, long ago, dropped any pretense of being an actual news organization, opting instead for some sad resistance performance art.”

CNN has long been criticized for maintaining that it is a down-the-middle, nonpartisan news organization despite pushing content that proves otherwise.

When Trump’s remarks concluded, CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta took to Twitter with his personal opinion of the moment, saying the president “soiled” the Rose Garden by turning his attention to Biden rather than focusing on announcing a pro-Hong Kong executive order.

“Trump soiled the WH Rose Garden with that performance. Presidents do not use the Rose Garden in that kind of naked political fashion. That was not a press conference, as the WH described it. It was a campaign rally disguised as a press conference. It was a bait and switch,” Acosta wrote.

Actor James Woods mocked the tweet, responding, "Now do journalism."

Anderson Cooper, who is billed as a news anchor and has even moderated presidential debates, took a jab at Trump’s "tan" when offering his opinion on the Rose Garden remarks.

My wife likes to watch Wolf Blitzer while making dinner. Boy has he gone off the deep end. Hysterical screeching about President Trump day after day. One billion new Corona Virus cases every day.

The other day it was Trump is going to fire Dr.Falsi according to White House sources. The next day it was the opposite.

Yesterday it was Rose Garden event was a thinly veiled political rally.

Years ago I enjoyed watching Wolf on CNN.

As CNN went down so did Wolf and it’s become a total joke with all the commie leftists working there.
