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.

Acosta doesn’t know the difference between faker and maker.
I really liked Mick Mulvaney versus Jim Acosta the other day. Jim looked like an absolute tool of the left.
Good Pee-wee Herman imitation. “I know you are, but what am i”?
Acosta is such a little d*ck.
A very ... small ... man.
Nyah Nyah
Neener neener
Homina homina
Trump owns many great properties. The space he owns in Acosta’s head is one of his finest.
Make up your minds! For cryin' out loud.
The writers at the Weekly World News have more journalistic integrity than Jim Acosta and his fellow fake news reporters at CNN!
“And I don’t want people to think that I am saying that because I have an ax to grind”
Lie
“...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 just not what you would think would happen in this country.”
True if referring to the lying SHole Media, but he’s not so... Lie
Definitely more credible than CNN.
He is likely getting paid by Fusion GPS to continue to run cover for Hillary’s exoneration and Fake Dossier scam to dirty up Trump.
He is a paid actor.
Must have ruffled some of Acosta’s feathers when his chickens came home to roost as he was ejected from the Oval Office....
Irony. All of those statements are false.
Well, except "He has said many things."
he is king of fake news, he lives in the heads of fake news rent free
Fifty years ago Acosta would not have risen above the level of a copy boy at a small town newspaper.
Ok, ok, I’ll compromise and admit he’s not the King of fake news. He’s the court jester of fake news.
First, no he didn't. He said there was reasonable doubt. There is.
He said Mexicans are rapists and criminals.
Are you saying no rapists and criminals are Mexican? Because if you're not, then you're admitting he was right about that too.
He has said he lost the election because undocumented people voted by the millions.
Why would he say he lost the election when he didn't lose the election? And millions of illegals DID vote. Illegally.
He said that he had the largest inauguration crowd of all time.
No he didn't.
The list [of media calumny] goes on and on.
It's unfortunate that the president press has sunk to that level It's just not what you would think would happen in this country.
Is little Jimmy still in kindergarten ???
