CNN’s most whiny mouthpiece Jim Acosta took a swipe at President Trump on Twitter this morning while attempting to legitimize the news network’s output, but only succeeded in igniting a hilarious backlash.
Acosta suggested that the President should refrain from calling CNN ‘fake news’ in the midst of a potentially disastrous hurricane:
Not a good time to take shots at “fake news.” Millions will be relying on national and local news outlets to stay safe during hurricane.

Yes, that’s correct, Acosta is so desperate for ratings that he attempted to politicize a weather event.
The response was swift, and it wasn’t pretty:
You’re fake news. You’ll blame the hurricane on the President. Watch CNN make political issue out of the hurricane

Seriously! Your using a dangerous hurricane to continue your war on the President.My God, use your twitter to report on the issue just once

Really? What an insult to intelligence to think people can’t chose the difference between political lies and weather updates.

In other words, news outlets will use this opp to freak out the public, then they will say Trump didn’t respond correctly.

I may be wrong, but I think most people can differentiate between “Trump is a literal Nazi” news and “Hurricane warning” news. https://t.co/3GRD60UQ3d

Then it really is a shame how CNN has ruined it’s reputation for reporting the news…
