In yet another display of liberal media bias, former CNN anchor Jim Acosta is back in the spotlight—this time taking a direct swipe at supporters of President Donald Trump, suggesting that half the country isn’t interested in the truth.
In a recent interview with The Washingtonian, Acosta—who left CNN after being offered a low-rated late-night time slot—criticized Trump’s return to office and doubled down on his belief that mainstream media outlets need to “fact-check” the President even more in his second term.
“Half the country still wants to hear the truth,” Acosta claimed, implying that millions of patriotic Americans don’t.
📉 CNN’s Ratings Fell — and So Did Acosta
Acosta, who made a name for himself by clashing with President Trump and grandstanding during White House briefings, has since launched a Substack channel to stay relevant. He admitted that for years, he discouraged young people from becoming journalists.
“You’re going to lose your weekends and holidays,” he said.
Now, he’s begging for help: “Please come into this business. We need reinforcements.”
But Americans aren’t buying it. Trust in the mainstream media is at historic lows, especially among older and conservative viewers.
🎭 From Reporting to Theater
Acosta’s stint at CNN was filled with dramatic lectures and partisan attacks, including:
- Mocking Kim Kardashian’s visit to the Trump White House to discuss real criminal justice reform
- Denouncing the term “Wuhan coronavirus” as “xenophobic”
- Reciting the Statue of Liberty poem during a live press briefing
Instead of reporting the facts, Acosta often used his platform to push political narratives—and his ratings reflected it.
👎 Liberal Media’s “Show” Attacks Trump Again
During a recent liberal media panel with fellow ex-CNN host Don Lemon, Acosta once again insulted President Trump and his team, calling the day-to-day workings of the administration a “bad show”—though he used a cruder word we won’t repeat here.
Lemon chimed in, saying:
“Every single day… it’s a show produced like a television show.”
Acosta responded with a smirk, drawing laughs from a left-wing audience.
🚨 The Bottom Line
This is the same media elite that claims to tell you the “truth” while:
- Mocking conservative Americans
- Ignoring real accomplishments under President Trump
- Protecting the political establishment
It’s no wonder more Americans are turning to independent media for honest reporting.
