On CNN Monday, White House correspondent Jim Acosta mocked Donald Trump and his press conference at the end of the G7 summit, saying the president is “like a cat chasing a laser pointer when it comes to trying to get the president to answer a direct question.”
No Respect
“I have to say perhaps one of the biggest headlines coming out of this press conference that we just witnessed here in France is that the president would not be pinned down on this question of climate change,” Acosta said. “He was just asked in the last several minutes whether he still harbors these questions about whether or not climate change is actually happening. He did not answer that question.”
The President was answering many questions, as is the nature of all press conferences.

“When he asked that question, he went on to extoll the virtues of the American energy industry and how he’s opened up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge up in Alaska and so on,” Acosta continued. “This was the president touting the energy businesses of the United States rather than clearly dealing with this issue of climate change as the Amazon was burning, as was a huge focus at the summit.”
“The president skipped the meeting on climate change,” Acosta said. So as if often the case with these press conferences with the president, it is like a cat chasing a laser pointer when it comes to trying to get the president to answer a direct question.”

Acosta’s Long History With Trump
Would Jim Acosta have talked this way about Barack Obama?
This obviously isn’t the first time the CNN host has had it out for the President. He’s even admitted to “showboating” in the past.
When Acosta pestered Trump at a press conference in Japan in early July, the President turned it around on him, making the entire room laugh.
G20 Press Conference @realDonaldTrump gives @acosta a shot when asked whether he pressed MBS on Khashoggi
Acosta – are you afraid of offending him on that subject?
Pres. Trump: Not at all. I don't really care about offending people. I sort of thought you would know that

Fake News Indeed
When Acosta released his new book in May, an anonymous CNN staffer blasted the author, saying that he was shameless and transparently partisan.
“People get tired of it,” the unnamed staffer complained. “Acosta is supposed to be a correspondent reporting the facts but you can’t tell the difference between him and a paid pundit.”
No you can’t. CNN’s idea of a “Chief White House Correspondent” is someone who time and again has shown nothing but contempt for the current occupant of that house.
You would think CNN would be more worried about their credibility every time they put him on the air.
And do they still seriously wonder why people call them “fake news?”
Acosta seems to be the one stupidly chasing something he can’t catch. Looks like a coherent analogy is as beyond his grasp as real journalism.
Acosta has the brain capacity of a laser pointer.
Right…. Acosta’s the cat, making a fool out of himself, and Trump is the laser pointer, making Acosta jump around…ya-think…?!?!?
Acosta has an over inflated opinion of himself! His only purpose, as far as anyone can see, all he is a camera hog!
Acosta, you are an ignorant fool and you don’t even realize it!!!!
Time for Acosta and CNN to go bye-bye. Neigher are worth a crap. FAKE NEWS.
My cat is insulted that he’s being drawn into any comment by Jimmy!
No need to fret about CNN anymore because they’re on their last breath and gasping. Jim Acosta May have delivered several of the last mortal blows ?
Maybe acosta should bone up on how legitimate journalists should act at a press conference instead of playing with a laser on cats.
Acosta needs to be fired!
Acosta is not a journalist. He is a political activist and agitator. If you want accurate news reporting you be better off watching rerun Gilligan’s Island than him.
And the pain in the a award goes to JIM ACOSTA FOR HIS AGENDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP!! All on CNN the Comedy news network!! Fake news MEDIA!!! Not credible news at ALL!!!
Doesn’t “CNN” stand for “Comedy News Now”?
