Former CNN employee Jim Acosta is deeply worried that ‘partisan hacks’ are taking over the news business. You couldn’t make this up.
Acosta offered his comments at a hearing set up by California Senator Adam Schiff, which just makes this story even more perfect.
Acosta is really upset about the fact that the news media is changing and he is being left behind. He claims that CBS News and other outlets are going pro-Trump. That is not happening. Jim just thinks that the news is going right wing if it’s not attacking Trump 24/7.
Deadline reported:
“The news is broken, we may not be able to put the pieces back together,” former CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta told a packed Burbank City Hall on Friday, warning of the rise of entertainment industry oligarchs and “media domination.”
“We need to talk about busting up big media,” Acosta insisted. “This is not America what we’re seeing now.”
Citing a “danger to our democracy,” Acosta called Donald Trump’s attacks on the media “an assault on our freedom of speech … taking us down the road of Putin and China to state-controlled media.” An old and constant thorn in Trump’s paw, Acosta certainly had something to say about David Ellison’s pending $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros Discovery – the owners of CNN.
Taking a swing at “partisan hacks” running CBS News and the probability of more job losses like we saw today, and “self-censoring,” the journalist was speaking Friday at Sen. Adam Schiff’s “Lights, Camera, Competition”: Promoting American Film Production event in the former home of the Tonight Show.

Jim will actually sit there and expect you to believe that neither he nor CNN are in any way purveyors of partisan hackery.

People on Twitter/X noted the irony of Acosta’s remarks.

I have long wondered if people like Jim Acosta, John Harwood, and Jake Tapper really believe they are not partisan hacks or if they just pretend….. https://t.co/UliyYjYkuO

Jim Acosta is a clown but he sure thinks highly of himself. It is to laugh.
