It by no means fails that in scandals of the media’s personal creation, self-proclaimed journalist Jim Acosta will often say one thing that by chance confirms our worst suspicions about their motivations and left-leaning political bias.
Acosta, as RedState readers nicely know, was on the middle of many press explosions throughout his time as CNN’s White Home correspondent throughout the Trump years. He is made a reputation for himself among the many very on-line left for showboating throughout press briefings and infrequently sparring with Trump, all to show to the outrage machine and his community’s 27.4 viewers that he is a real believer within the Orange Man evil principle.

Within the final three and a half years, in fact, there was a unique Orange Man within the White Home – Joe Biden. Fittingly, simply earlier than Biden took over, it was introduced that Acosta had gotten a brand new beat, with Trump shifting from the White Home briefing room to a cushty seat within the CNN newsroom, the place he would function weekend anchor.
Studying alongside the traces of that transfer, Acosta’s transfer to weekend information anchoring was a sign that her job because the anti-Trump Resistance Chief™ for the media was finished, and so CNN rewarded her with a pleasant, lengthy break from powerful questions. A presidential query — since a Democratic president will not be requested any powerful questions on their watch, anyway.
Quick ahead to current day, and Acosta has adopted McDonald’s traditional “I am Lovin’ It” slogan, doing his degree finest to cheer for his beloved Biden and the Democrats on each broadcast whereas driving visitors in anti-Trump/GOP “journalism.”
Living proof, his response to Monday’s New York Instances story that exposed Joe Biden sleeps daily throughout his debate prep periods, that means the ten a.m. – 4 p.m. coherence window is the place we had been beforehand advised he is likely to be “reliably engaged.” Calculated to be considerably shortened by a minimum of one hour

I’ve no drawback with folks sleeping, and that features the supposed chief of the free world. The issue I’ve is when the identical chief who already has a brief window of time to have the ability to be “reliably engaged” narrows it down additional with sleep (and frequent holidays).
It is a problem that solely raises massive questions on who’s in cost when Biden is sort of actually asleep on the wheel any day of the week. At one time, Jim Acosta thought of it a giant deal. However that was then, and it’s now, the place we’ve a (D)totally different president and one who’s extra likable to Acosta than to his nemesis, Donald Trump.
