[See NewsBusters for more.] Of course, hard-left CNN journalist Jim Acosta couldn’t let a touching moment in Tuesday’s State of the Union go without injecting liberal spin onto it. Regarding the President’s awarding of the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh, Acosta smeared the radio star as a racist, claiming a “history of  making derogatory comments about African-Americans.” Insisting that he knows better, the CNN reporter declared of the overall speech, “I think this was a state of the base speech, not a State of the Union speech. The state of the Trump base is strong. The State of the Union is deeply divided.”
