At a White House press briefing yesterday, CNN’s Jim Acosta debated and over-talked that day’s spokesperson, Stephen Miller, so long and hard that Acosta was essentially making speeches. That isn’t the journalist’s role.
It’s clear that Acosta is a Democrat spokesperson. Not a journalist (under any honest definition of the word).
Miller rightly nailed Acosta on the matter of favoring immigrants who speak English. It’s already part of U.S. policy that, to be naturalized, you must show proficiency in English. President Trump’s proposal strengthens that by favoring (somewhat) immigrants who already know English. I’m not saying if that’s good or bad here; but it’s certainly inclusive of billions of people in China, India, Latin America and Africa who study English. Whereas Acosta tried to make it into a quasi-racist thing.
Costa is the poster boy for AAAA. (American Association of Airhead A$$holes.)
REPORTER, n. A writer who guesses his way to the truth and dispels it with a tempest of words. – Ambrose Bierce- The Devil’s Dictionary
Costa is “a poor actor who struts and worries for his hour on the stage” shouting “a story told by an idiot, full of noise and emotional disturbance but devoid of meaning.” – apologies to Shakespeare.
“O wad some Power the giftie gie us / To see oursels as ithers see us! – Robert Burns.
The Left’s social media farms & media have already instructed & given out the main talking point to all this, as of Wednesday evening. That Miller was using White Nationalist/racist/White Supremacy auto responses for the Statue of Liberty issues. However; none of that plays coherently with the Left’s civilians. It’s just not understood.
Like any primitive peoples, the Left’s leaders only understand force & power. They’re not going to hesitate to give Acosta his own special snowflake show. They’ll only back off when strong-armed. They’ll only revert (I use the word with tongue in cheek) to objective journalism & standard fact-based reporting if they’re scared. Relocating the WH briefing room across the street would do it. A “communications director” that called out names of reporters, publishers, producers, media owners with absolute examples of Leftist bias, would do it. They’re just too afraid that the minority of right wing media would be affected. Though, it would only take a 1/3 of a paragraph of defense to explain that conservative orientation isn’t an ideology & doesn’t need a defense.
I wouldn’t expect Sarah Huckabee to take up the mantle of supreme propagandist against the Left. I would hope that some actions are taken to “officially” demonstrate the Left’s Democrat Media ridiculous bias & agenda.
It’s all about identifying & pointing fingers. It’s all about explaining that the conservative blogosphere, Fox News, other rising news outlets & others are justified in a right-leaning format because the overwhelming majority of the “mainstream” media leans (topples, covers, colludes) to the Left’s naked socialist agenda.
Basically, Acosta is advocating for people who come to the country illegally. I live in a border town where MANY illegal immigrants are present. Some of them were engineers, teachers, etc. in their home countries. However, they do not speak English and are undocumented, and therefore do not qualify for those types of jobs. This is as it should be. However, Acosta is trying to say because this is the case, and because this new immigration law makes sure those who do things the right way get an advantage, it is racist. He wants those who are illegal to be welcomed and place because he advocates for open borders and acceptance as part of the Democrat Media Complex. He also used the traditional democrat strategy of continually interrupting what the other guy is saying so he can’t get it out and make people see that what he is saying makes sense. He’s arrogant, ignorant, and RUDE, and Steve Miller handled him in a calm, intelligent manner, worthy of praise.

In the White House.
I thought that was supposed to be the FBI.
Or Nixon, I never can get that intersectionality figured out.
Happy birthday, Mr. President.
if a free and INDEPENDENT press is the cornerstone of democracy, what is a politically biased press? the democrat party-media complex is the greatest threat to the freedom of the American people in the history of this country.
CNN should lose its credentials, barring it from future WH press conferences.
