You might recall that CNN’s Chris Cillizza once waved away accusations of media bias by tweeting that “reporters don’t root for a side, period.” However, Cillizza’s CNN colleague, the intrepid Resistance reporter Jim Acosta, has repeatedly proven himself to be one of the many exceptions to that “rule.” But Acosta did recently find the time to defend some Republicans from Trump criticism:
Been covering Trump for three years now. Will never quite understand how the GOP tolerates his attacks on McCain, Bushes and Romney. The GOP just shrugs its shoulders.

There were many who remembered when it wasn’t off limits to go after those very people:
How did you ever deal with all those years of the media attacking McCain, the Bushes, and Romney?

That was different! *Eye roll*
CNN hack is REALLY mad that Republicans aren't more protective of 3 families that CNN was happy to trash when it suited their interests. Hey Republicans, you're not liking and disliking who CNN tells you to! https://t.co/3TpvhBRp1A

All of a sudden you're the grand defender of the Bushes, Romneys and McCains? GFY Jimmy

Say, Jim – when did the Democrats and the media (sorry for the redundancy) start coming to the the defense of McCain, Bushes and Romney? You guys are usually trashing them with enthusiasm.

Acosta gonna Acosta:
Been 'covering' Jim Acosta for almost three years now. Will never quite understand how CNN viewers tolerate his ego, whining, and complaining. CNN viewers just shrug their shoulders. https://t.co/hCcTsBK2n5
