CNN’s Jim Acosta has been taking a lot of heat — and plenty of mockery — for getting caught DMing “F*ck you” to a Trump staffer who had tweeted “Dear Diary…” at him.
And Politico media and politics reporter Jason Schwartz was on it:
Right-wing sites are freaking out about @Acosta privately DM'ing "Fuck you" to someone. Seem much less concerned about the president cheering on violence against journalists. pic.twitter.com/DI30ADXHYd

“Freaking out” is a really funny way of saying “laughing hysterically.” Also:
According to @politico's @JasonSchwartz, the real headline is reaction from "right-wing sites" to @CNN's @Acosta cursing out a random Twitter user in an after-hours direct message. #DearDiary pic.twitter.com/1IoxBLaYmI

But perpetual damsel-in-distress Jim Acosta never met a white knight he didn’t like, so he’s all in with Schwartz’s spin. With a little extra flourish of his own, of course:
Is this that “owning the libs” thing? https://t.co/VIX4Gwk3OM

We don’t know, Jim. Is it?
Acosta admits he's a lib. https://t.co/5pK5vuYAIz

Mystery solved.
