Desperate attempt to politicize the weather for ratings<\/strong><\/p>\n

CNN\u2019s most whiny mouthpiece Jim Acosta took a swipe at President Trump on Twitter this morning while attempting to legitimize the news network\u2019s output, but only succeeded in igniting a hilarious backlash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acosta suggested that the President should refrain from calling CNN \u2018fake news\u2019 in the midst of a potentially disastrous hurricane:<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s correct, Acosta is so desperate for ratings that he attempted to politicize a weather event.<\/p>\n

The response was swift, and it wasn\u2019t pretty:<\/p>\n

\n

You’re fake news. You’ll blame the hurricane on the President. Watch CNN make political issue out of the hurricane<\/p>\n

\n

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<\/p>\n

\n

Really? What an insult to intelligence to think people can’t chose the difference between political lies and weather updates.<\/p>\n

\n

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

\n

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<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank goodness they didn’t assign you to the story then https:\/\/t.co\/yiA0s9q5C9<\/a><\/p>\n

Then it really is a shame how CNN has ruined it’s reputation for reporting the news…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
