August 2, 2018It never ends with Whiny Jim Acosta. We gave him that name for a reason.
He covered Trump’s rally in Tampa earlier this week and was completely horrified that people shouted “CNN sucks,” “go home,” and “fake news.”
I don’t condone heckling, but at least those are accurate statements.
“Wolf, obviously all of those things are false,” Acosta said. “We’re staying right here, we’re going to do our job and report on this rally to all of our viewers here tonight, Wolf.”

At this point, Acosta truly feels like some sort of journalistic hero. Even though he’s WORRIED FOR HIS LIFE, he will continue on!
Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy. pic.twitter.com/IhSRw5Ui3R

For the record, shouting, “CNN sucks” and engaging in Actually Violence…not the same thing.

Cool, now do the Antifa losers shouting down conservative speakers at colleges.
No? Oh, OK.
If you thought that was the end of Acosta’s whining, you thought wrong. He’s riding this for the rest of the week!
During an interview Wednesday, Acosta said that the Trump rally “didn’t even feel like America anymore.”
“I mean, honestly, it felt like we weren’t in America anymore,” Acosta said. “I don’t know how to put it any more plainly than that. Americans should not be treating their fellow Americans in this way. But unfortunately, what we’ve seen—and this has been building for some time since the campaign—I’ve been talking about this as an issue since the campaign.”
He also blamed conservative media outlets for feeding people “a daily diet” of “what they consider to be terrible things that we do over here at CNN.” He also accused Trump of making it worse by “whipping these crowds.”
“These opinions that these folks have at these rallies, they’re shaped by what they see in the primetime hours of Fox News and what they hear from some conservative news outlets that just sort of give them this daily diet of what they consider to be terrible things that we do over here at CNN,” he said. “It’s very unfortunate, but it’s a pitting of American against American and honestly, it needs to stop.”
For the record Jim, the American people don’t need Fox News to tell them that you suck. Your suckage stands on its own.
“When the president, during the campaign, referred to us as the dishonest media, the disgusting news media, liars, scum, and thieves, and so on, and then he rolled that right into the Oval Office, and started calling us the fake news and the enemy of the people, he is whipping these crowds up into a frenzy, to the point where they really want to come after us,” Acosta said.
Here it comes. This is the part where Acosta pretends that he fears for his life.
“I think it’s been dangerous for some time,” Acosta said. “I was worried during the campaign that a journalist was going to get hurt, and it has been building. But when you refer to members of the press as the enemy of the people, you’re essentially putting targets on our backs and it’s not just some Joe Schmo on a barstool in Kalamazoo saying this. This is the president of the United States. And that comes with a serious force behind it. And he has a lot of people out there who are extremely angry at us.”
It just amazes me. Acosta is absolutely unwilling to look in the mirror and take responsibility for his irresponsible reporting.
People don’t like you because you’re a biased tool who’s operating under the guise of objectivity. You’re anything but, but you pretend to be “serving the people.” BS.
Look in the mirror, Jim. Seriously.
