Full title: Hard-Hitting CNN 'Journalist' Jim Acosta Came to a Vile Conclusion About Trump Supporters In Minneapolis
The mainstream media is often unsure why President Donald Trump has dubbed the term "fake news" and why he continually calls them out for their shoddy reporting. CNN's Jim Acosta is one of the so-called "reporters" who has been at the forefront of Trump's battle with the press.
Last year, the White House suspended his hard press pass after he pushed an intern holding a microphone. Eventually, CNN sued to have the hard pass reinstated. They won the lawsuit, Acosta's press pass was reinstated and things went back to "normal." Throughout the entire ordeal Acosta seemed confused about why he was being denied access to the White House. In his mind, he was a journalist who was simply "doing his job" and "reporting the news."
On Friday, Acosta shared pictures and videos from his trip to Minneapolis to cover President Trump's Keep America Great Again rally. It's standard practice for journalists to share these sort of things, especially as they happen. But Acosta proved exactly why President Trump and average Americans take issue with the legacy media. In his first tweet he speculated what the 2020 election will be about.
"2020 will be 2016 all over again and then some. Bashing immigrants, stoking hatred of the press, protesters being ejected, fringe viewpoints, and police in riot gear... all on display at Trump’s rally in MN," he said on Twitter.
2020 will be 2016 all over again and then some. Bashing immigrants, stoking hatred of the press, protesters being ejected, fringe viewpoints, and police in riot gear... all on display at Trump’s rally in MN. (Q sign here - security officials asked some to conceal their Q signs)
He came to that conclusion solely based on one person's sign. A red sign. Go figure.
Apparently wanting secure borders is "bashing immigrants."
Apparently calling out the media's blatant leftist agenda masqueraded as "neutral reporting" is somehow "stoking hatred of the press."
Apparently wanting to drain the swamp is somehow a "fringe viewpoint."
And he wonders why the American people loath the mainstream media? Gee. Wonder why.
The rest of his thread features pictures and videos of a few disruptors and even police in riot gear.
"..could have easily sought out this gentleman and had a reasonable discussion about the sign. That’s what a REAL journalist would do" Probably what even Ted would have done, lol.
Somewhere in Fort Dodge a grandmother crochets a blindfolds while in Coos Bay a man stocks up on Virginia Slims and in Pensacola a young woman buys rifle ammunition.
I have a feeling that their are only two things this guy “hits” hard:
A mirror and the bottle.
So, he had nothing to say about the Nazi terrorists beating up law abiding citizens and hassling law enforcement outside the arena?
Agreed, it’s two of the few things he can do at the same time.
Jimmy the Genius is qualified to assume anything and everything and that it’s always the worst case scenario.
I had to read it twice, but finally I got it.
Nice, very nice.

I would not say that “JFK Jr. is alive” was necessarily a conservative viewpoint. Since there are a string of Q’s, it’s possible that the sign holder is making fun of the news media. Didn’t the “OK sign is racist” claim originate on the Q site?
Another possible motive is that the sign holder is likening Trump to JFK Jr. I would put JFK Jr. to the right of any of the Democrat candidates. One of Vernon Robinson’s campaign slogans was “Jesse Helms is back. And this time, he’s black.”
A less likely motive is that the sign holder believes that Hillary did away with JFK Jr. so she could run for the Senate. If true, she would have had him killed, no?
I’m sure there are other possible motives.
How about another “guy”?
When you grow up, you will understand it. maybe.
Hard-? About the only thing he hit hard is probably Shepherd Smith.
Hard-hitting? About the only thing he hit hard is probably Shepherd Smith.
Yep, wouldn’t doubt that at all.
Especially in Coos Bay! It used to be a coastal working town, lumber mills and fishing boats. It's still a coastal town, but the lumber mills are mostly gone.
