Guess who CNN just promoted to 'chief White House correspondent'

Well, it looks like CNN’s Jim Acosta just got a promotion:

CNN names @acosta chief White House correspondent

— Michael Calderone (@mlcalderone) January 9, 2018

OH, COME ON!

He's a self-aggrandizing hacktavist who's not even remotely serious about journalism. Unless journalism is now defined as the comments section at Salon. https://t.co/WbAjfniJBB

That puts it mildly. As for how the administration will react…

…yeah, not really.

CNN made other moves as well:

Jim @Acosta's new title: @CNN chief White House correspondent. More news: @PamelaBrownCNN is moving from the justice beat to the W.H. @SaraMurray moving from W.H. to justice
