Since the beginning of the Trump administration, CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta<\/a> had become infamous for his out of control shouting, grandstanding, and childish antics during press briefings and other televised White House events. So, during a special appearance on the network\u2019s Reliable Sources<\/em>, Acosta defending his actions and at one point proclaimed that if he was sent to Hell, \u201cI\u2019ll still be shouting at the Devil, is the way I look at it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

With all the seriousness of a puff piece, host Brian Stelter began the segment by rhetorically asking, \u201cIs he a reporter willing to shout out tough questions or someone grandstanding to boost his own profile?<\/strong>\u201d After playing some clips of his colleague fighting with the administration, Stelter wondered, \u201cSo what is it like to be Jim Acosta? <\/strong>What is it like to come face-to-face with angry Trump supporters at rallies? Let\u2019s ask him.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair started by discussing Acosta\u2019s recent attendance at a Trump rally in South Carolina where he was heckled<\/a><\/strong> by Trump supports and told to \u201cgo home, Jim\u201d while someone held up a sign that read \u201cCNN sucks.\u201d Acosta told Stelter that people were actually really nice once they started talking to him one-on-one. Acosta insisted their opinions about him and CNN were corrupted and warped by Fox News.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd by and large, what I find is that people are developing their impressions of us by watching Hannity and so on,<\/strong>\u201d he asserted. Of course, Stelter agreed and said \u201cpro-Trump media calls you fake news,<\/strong>\u201d a \u201cdrama queen.<\/strong>\u201d He also claimed to have written down instances where they used \u201cslurs\u201d and \u201ccurse words\u201d against his colleague but refused to cite them.<\/p>\n
