Something tells us CNN’s Jim Acosta doesn’t mind the attention Twitchy or anyone else is giving him lately; still pinned at the top of his Twitter feed like a grade school participation ribbon is an excerpt from “The New Colossus,” a reminder of the time he and White House adviser Stephen Miller tangled over the administration’s immigration policy and whether it violated not U.S. law but the spirit of a poem engraved on a plaque inside the Statue of Liberty.
That was one of the few times during the Trump administration that Acosta and CNN scored some prime camera time, and CNN’s been pretty cranky about the way the new White House occupants are doing things. When the White House turned off the cameras, Acosta took pictures of his socks and posted those instead. And on Thursday, as he awaited the first White House briefing in three weeks, he shared his front-row view of the carpeting, which hasn’t been part of the White House renovation project.

What’s really bothering Acosta and CNN is the games — including one where the rules include not calling on CNN.
Shocker! WH back to playing games and refusing to call on CNN at WH briefing.

Don’t hit the poor guy with two shocks in a one day.
I guess when you are a grandstanding d!ck on a regular basis. They remind you that it's not the Jim Acosta show. SHOCKER!

Is it written in the Constitution that you ALWAYS get a question?Your sense of entitlement is as big as your ego.
Get over yourself.

after @donlemon's meltdown the other night, you're going to have to throw a few more tantrums to get a shot at the 10pm slot.

So sorry that the White House refused to give you a platform for your latest self-important speech https://t.co/8rPkbZbuh7

I knew a guy who had similar issues as you back when I was in school. I think it was 3rd grade.

You arrogant dipshits at @CNN still don’t get it. You’re no longer relevant. Nobody trusts or believes you any more. You’ve blown the gig. https://t.co/zuY8fbNJBl

Update:
Like we said, Acosta’s just not feeling the new management.
why is @CNN entitled to a question? I ask that in a serious way, not trying to be confrontational
— David Brody (@DavidBrodyCBN) August 24, 2017
Of course we aren't entitled to a question. But the WH has frozen us out for weeks rarely calling on us. Fox always got q's under obama.
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) August 24, 2017
Fox News? The network he was always warning us about? The one “in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country” telling viewers “24/7” that he was a Muslim?
Obama also spent 8 yrs trying to discredit Fox. You've acted like a juvenile covering Trump. Do the math. https://t.co/ejxIycCNZ5
