Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley criticized CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s behavior during White House coronavirus briefings. “Jim Acosta's interruption of Dr. Birx is an example of how CNN's echo-journalism model is destroying the media's credibility,” .... “Every question from Acosta is an effort to score points rather than elicit information. It is a press pandemic that continues to rage without relief.” Acosta drew the ire of several journalists for his combative style during White House briefings on the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, including from Fox News’s Brit Hume, who criticized Acosta for “interrupting” the president.
