Jim Acosta resorts to bovine scatological references to regain viewers

In a feeble attempt at regaining relevance, Compromised News Network's Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta has resorted to using profanity as way of being edgy and openly attacks Fox News.

Acosta, however, is about as edgy as halitosis.

On Saturday, Acosta discussed what he determined is misinformation, calling Fox News a "bulls**t factory." And let's not pretend Acosta doesn't have a nose for bulls**t--he and his network perfected it.

Jimbo was referencing the New York Post story which falsely claimed that copies of a children's book written by Kamala Hahahaharris were given to illegal migrant children as part of a "welcome kit." It turns out that was a lie and the "reporter" ended up resigning after saying she was forced to write that story. 

Now that's a bad thing and I believe most if not all conservatives would agree.

“That tale from the border didn’t just border on B.S., this was USDA Grade-A bulls**t,” Acosta said. “And the [New York Post] reporter who wrote the story resigned, claiming she was forced to make it up. But the damage was done, pumped out over the airwaves at the bulls**t factory also known as Fox News.”

According to Real Clear Politics, Acosta said that “What’s really sad is that even prominent Republicans are still repeating this even after the story was debunked,” and that “The top House Republican, Kevin McCarthy repeated the lie on FOX News after Biden’s speech to Congress.”

In defense of these Republicans, how were they to know that the story was false? 

“Lies, big lies can have terrible consequences. Just four months ago we all witnessed the fallout about the Big Lie about the election — and it should’ve served as a lesson on how lies can kill,” the CNN anchor said, make reference to Hitler's use of the term "Big Lie."

But in Acosta's case, we have the pot calling the kettle a kettle of color.

While nobody can love themself more than Jim Acosta loves James Acosta, he seems to be unable to mount even a modicum of self-awareness and see the irony of his words.

For example, Fox News reported in July 2020, “CNN’s chief anti-Trump reporter Jim Acosta was blasted on social media over a tweet that quoted White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany out of context.”

McEnany spoke about children returning to schools in the midst of a COVID-19 shutdown. She said: “The science should not stand in the way of this, but as Dr. Scott Atlas said — I thought this was a good quote, ‘Of course, we can do it. Everyone else in the Western world, our peer nations are doing it. We are the outlier here,'” McEnany said, quoting the former Stanford Medical Center neurology chief.”

She continued: “The science is very clear on this. For example, you look at the JAMA pediatric study of 46 pediatric hospitals in North America that said the risk of critical illness from COVID is far less for children than the seasonal flu. The science is on our side here. We encourage localities and states to just simply follow the science. Open our schools.”

But Acosta, ever the crap-weasel reporter, simply ignored the context of McEnany's statement and simply quoted her as saying: “The science should not stand in the way of this.”

Here's Acosta's tweet:

Acosta's biggest overall failure as a so-called reporter is that his narcissism will not allow him to make anyone other than himself the story. He did it with former President Trump as a White House reporter, and he is trying to do it now with his potty-mouth statements. 

Jim Acosta is so in love with himself, that his Twitter avatar was a photo of himself looking at himself in a mirror. Someone must have pointed out to him how cheesy that makes him look so now all he has as an avatar is himself without the mirror.
