On January 17, after much anticipation, President Donald Trump released the winners of his fake news awards. CNN was a big winner of the night, clinching several awards. CNN’s Jim Acosta was part of a panel discussion at the Newseum when the awards were announced; Politico’s Cristiano Lima, who came to ask a question, informed the room that the awards were live, albeit inaccessible to many due to the high traffic to the RNC’s site. Acosta appeared to not be amused, but gave his two-cents anyway, claiming that Trump is the real king of fake news, despite his network’s multiple trip-ups when it comes to reporting on this White House (via RCP):
I would say, having been called fake news myself, that the President of the United States is the king of fake news. He is the king of fake news.
He said Barack Obama was not born in this country. He said Mexicans are rapists and criminals. He has said many things. He has said he lost the election because undocumented people voted by the millions. He said that he had the largest inauguration crowd of all time. The list goes on and on.
And I don't want people to think that I am saying that because I have an ax to grind or I am here to criticize or be political or have an agenda or whatever you were saying earlier, it's just a fact. We’ve been saying there’s an apple and there’s a banana. You know, we’ve been sticking to apples. They’ve been throwing a lot of bananas.
It's unfortunate that the president has sunk to that level where he has to go around issuing these kinds of awards. It's just not what you would think would happen in this country.

“He said Barack Obama was not born in this country. He said Mexicans are rapists and criminals. He has said many things. He has said he lost the election because undocumented people voted by the millions. He said that he had the largest inauguration crowd of all time. The list goes on and on.”...
none of your post is true...you lefties lie so much, you have lost your ability to separate fact from fiction and Acosta is an imoral journalist constantly trying to ambush Trump and then whining when his shit gets called.
Yeah, I think he meant that Trump lost the popular vote. Acosta is a moron.
It certainly seems that way.
Jim Acosta - Trump Trolled and Rick Rolled. LOL
What I don’t get is why Sarah and all the others at the podium even call on him. Every time. They’re not even required to hold press conferences, so they’re definitely not required to call on every asshole who has a seat in the first and second rows. Just ignore him for a while and maybe he’ll simmer down.
Acosta is a 14 year old boy. Juvenile
dropping into the ...” I know you are but what am I? “ defense. Acosta is a shill
You’re nothing without him, Jim.
How does it feel? :)
