Reporting on the President

For John, BLUF:  Given how the Press is reporting on the President, maybe Reporter Acosta is properly matched up.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Former CNN Producer:  Jim Acosta Is Just A Fame-Seeking Attention-Getter

Here is the sub-headline:

Acosta Only Cares About Making Himself Famous.

From The Lid Blog, by Mr Jeff Dunetz, 13 Apr 2020.

Here is the lede:

It’s unknown whether any White House reporter has been drop-kicked in the butt by as many different people in one administration as Jim Acosta of CNN.  There are very few people in the administration who likes or respects him.  He is considered by many observers as the most unprofessional member of the White House press corps.  Steve Krakauer, a CNN producer-turned media watchdog, used to work with Acosta.  In the latest edition of his media newsletter, Krakauer confirmed what we all knew, his former colleague Acosta, is a fame-seeking attention-getter who doesn’t care about the news as much as he cares about making himself famous.

The part of the story I liked was the suggestion that Reporter Jim Acosta is actually working in cooperation with the Trump team, to get President Trump reelected.  Nothing else makes sense.

I think this cartoon, from Monday, by Cartoonist Chris Muir captures some of it.
