With Joe Biden in the White House, CNN realized it could get away with a slow-pitch softball player to handle the duties of White House correspondent, and so Jim Acosta got bumped up to anchor and given his own weekend show. Acosta had already called Fox News a “bulls**t factory” on his show back in May, but he revived the insult for a podcast with Mediaite.
CNN's @Acosta is utterly unsparing in his criticism of Fox News on Mediaite's The Interview — dismissing the network as a “bullsh*t factory” and describing Tucker Carlson as sounding like a "race-baiting tyrant."

There's at least a 90% chance to says that to himself in the mirror every morning.

Jim Acosta wants to be Tucker Carlson so, so bad.
— Patrick Parish (@patrickparish) June 12, 2021
At least Fox News never brought back someone who jerked off on a Zoom call and thought it was "perfectly normal".

So he's gone from questioning those in power to questioning those who question those in power.

Jim @Acosta is such a bitchmade little bitchy bitch that he acted like he was being assaulted by storm troopers when a small female staffer tried to take a microphone away from him while he was doing one of his bitchy little bitchmade monologues lol https://t.co/T6CXsJ1elQ

All of this would matter if he was actually a journalist, and not a shill for the Democratic Party. If you can’t see this, then you’re blind.

Jim Acosta is the Jeffrey Toobin of Tucker Carlsons
— Paul Dzielinski (@Pdzielinski) June 12, 2021
One can literally taste Acosta's jealousy of Carlson.
— Hal McGowan (@hal_mcgowan) June 12, 2021
Given the week CNN has had, he’d be better off keeping his head down and mouth shut. Any network that has Toobin and Cuomo has no ground calling anyone a bullshit factory.
— Taro Tsujimoto (@RCannon74) June 12, 2021
He knows who he is and who he works for, right?
— Jay Dubb (@JayDubbTX) June 12, 2021
He's a giant clown. Not interested.

Let’s see his sorry ass go on Fox to be interviewed. I’d suggest Levin. Would have his sorry ass handed to him in less than 10 minutes and would be reduced to a stuttering blubbering fool.
— John Hewett (@loid1800) June 12, 2021
Acosta is a discredited bum who can’t stop lying. So he’s got that going for him. #fact
— Mr. Faversham (@MrFaversham) June 12, 2021
During the Trump Administration, Acosta focused his ire on the people in power
During the Biden Administration, Acosta focuses his ire on the people criticizing the people in power
He’s an activist, not a journalist https://t.co/wEzhlJ7OGL

Find someone who loves you as much as Jim Acosta loves himself.

We’ll be skipping this interview, as well as Stelter’s “exposé” on Fox News.
