If there has ever been a more self-centered, self-infatuated timeline than Jim Acosta’s on Twitter we’d be hard-pressed to find it. And what makes his timeline even MORE obnoxious is the fact that he keeps claiming that he doesn’t want to be the story …
Yet we don’t see him tweeting about much else other than himself.
And he wonders why we make fun of him.

Ok, so this isn’t Jim’s tweet exactly, but it’s The Late Show tweeting about him … and he retweeted it.
.@acosta is very passionate about why journalists shouldn’t be called the ‘enemy of the people.’ #LSSC pic.twitter.com/1e4jHtJwMz

Again, not his tweet but another retweet.
My comment to @StephenAtHome in response to @realDonaldTrump attack on the press that we are the enemy of the people. “In a government that is of the people, by the people and for the people there is no such thing as the enemy of the people.” pic.twitter.com/uHpmYDmRDP

Now, this WAS his tweet.
Dear Diary,
It really is all about me.
Love,
Jim
Journalists who make the news , rather then report it- are enemies of the people. The majority of the people on this country want Donald Trump but the coverage is so slanted and one sided

Oops.
I think the complaints are about fake news being the enemy of the people. No acts of journalism have been called acts of enemies just the implication that not everyone is a journalist. Your virtue signalling means you are declaring yourself "fake news" .

But see, Jim wants to make this all about him because deep down he really DOES want to be the story.
OK, enemy.

This went well.
Heh.
