Acosta: Americans ‘Don’t Have All Their Faculties’
Daily Caller ^ | 04/24/2018 | Amber Athey

“The problem is that people around the country don’t know it’s an act,” Acosta said of Trump labeling some news outlets “fake news.” “They’re not in on the act and they take what he says very seriously and they take attacks from Sean Spicer and Sarah Sanders and what they do to us on a daily basis very seriously.”

He added, “they don’t have all their faculties in come cases — their elevator might not hit all floors.”

“My concern is that a journalist is gonna get hurt one of these days,” Acosta concluded.

My concern is that journalists are *not* going to be hurt.

Slobbering moron.

This mental defective thinks Trump told us about fake news.

We told him, you gibbering idiot.

The only way journalists are going to be hurt is if there’s a sudden stop and they end up with their heads up Tom Perez’s ass.

Is Acosta still pretending he’s a journalist? He has obviously lost all sense of ‘fair and balanced’.

Acosta is at least partially correct.

A significant proportion of Americans watch CNN; enough believe their line of crap to have almost voted Hillary into the White House.

My concern is that they won’t. Sooner or later, these people need to meet the tar brush.

“My concern is that a journalist is gonna get hurt one of these days"

Our concern is that Trump might get hurt one of these days, just like those Republicans on the baseball field.

"This mental defective thinks Trump told us about fake news."

Exactly. Whereas the term "fake news" only gained currency during the 2016 election, the concept of "fake news" or media bias has been around for decades.

It's just like liberals think that conservatives all take their marching orders from Fox News, even though many conservatives don't like Fox and criticize it all the time.

Exactly...

I would not be opposed to every “journalist” in the nation having the moment of clarity of “If I lie, I die”.

The other thing that these folks are having a hard time grasping is that we really don’t need them anymore. The internet is doing the some thing to “the media” (which as a broker between events and us) that the automobile did to carriage makers.

Acosta is still clueless about his own arrogance and the arrogance of the media in general, and of the fact that we are aware of that arrogance, and of the fact that we didn't need Trump to point out that arrogance for us.

Some say that Jim “Free Puppies!” Acosta is a serial child molester.

So, a bachelors degree in mass communications with a minor in political science makes you an expert in what, Mr. Acosta? What on Earth makes you think you are the one who is ‘aware’ and that those Americans who don’t agree with you are stupid, or being duped? You’re an overpaid newsreader. You can’t really be considered a ‘reporter’, because your approach is too biased and is not factual or objective.

Acosta’s elevator only goes down to the basement/cellar. It is time for CNN to send another lackey to the White House briefings. Someone who doesn’t make a mockery out of their so-called news organization.

“My concern is that a journalist is gonna get hurt one of these days,”

Essentially, they are saying that words can incite violence, but they have no trouble spewing hatred towards Trump and his supporters. The media for several months seemed to be attempting to incite the assassination of Trump, without so much as a peep from Acosta.

The left doesn’t. That’s why they are so easy to trigger. :)

As for me, I’ve seen it as an act since before the election. And the first thing I loved about “predident” trump is how he totally plays the left and gets them to expose their true colors.

“It’s all an act!” I say the same thing when I watch your reporting and your network Mr. ACTosta!
