As a supposedly objective news media outlet, you’ve got a real problem when the antics of your reporter is more of a story than the stories he’s supposed to be covering.
That’s what CNN’s Jim Acosta has become since the election of Donald Trump.
Prior to Trump moving into the White House, few Americans would be able to recall the name of that gray-haired pouty White House correspondent. Because Acosta wasn’t the story.
But since Trump became president and Acosta started making his mark by going far beyond just reporting the facts, he’s become a household name.
This week, Acosta was supposed to report on a meeting and press conference involving Trump and the visiting president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.
Instead, Acosta went on a whiney rant about how both Trump and Bolsonaro don’t like him and effectively bullied the CNN correspondent by refusing to call on him.
