'The Jim Acosta Story', starring Jim Acosta as Jim Acosta

CNN's Jim Acosta appeared on Stephen Colbert and told the story about how he doesn't want to be "the story."

So why did he appear on Stephen Colbert's show?

Because Jim Acosta is deeply committed to, and in love with . . .  Jim Acosta. And he wants to and has to be the story.

The opinion reporter [as opposed to actual journalist] is giving the profession of journalism a kick in the family jewels with the way he grandstands against White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and the president.

It might be wise of the White House to cut out the daily press briefings and limit them in number. But I don't see that happening, however, because Trump tends to be very transparent and I suspect he secretly loves the media because they serve as a foil and distraction for him.

People who want real unbiased news no longer trust the media and the effects are obvious as more and more newspapers are going out of business, or letting go a large part of their staffing, or going online exclusively.

Hopefully, Jim Acosta will no longer be relevant and will go out of business.
