Acosta

CNN's senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta is absolutely beside himself that the White House now allows conservatives to ask questions during official press briefings – so much so, in fact, that Acosta is stunned that such a dreadful thing could happen in a free country.

Where people with alternate political beliefs can, you know, question the government.

Here’s Acosta’s woeful lament, tweeted Tuesday:

Of course, this doe-eyed incredulousness at Trump’s disdain for the media might invoke a little more sympathy, if Acosta’s own cohorts over at CNN hadn’t been caught the same day openly admitting they regularly launch anti-Trump smear campaigns based on unproven Russia conspiracy theories that they know are “mostly bullshit.”

You know, “for ratings.”

It’d also be just a little more believable if the media weren’t devoting exponentially more on-air time to shamelessly lying about covering Trump than reporting on literally any other topic in the world.

Now, it’s of course possible that in his 140-character-limit tirade in defense of the free press, Acosta meant to tweet “only conservatives” – which would be a still-untrue, but slightly more reasonable, statement to make.

But I’m pretty sure I know a Freudian slip when I see one.
