CNN is promoting Jim Acosta to Chief White House correspondent from Senior White House Correspondent, effective Monday, January 15.
Acosta has been covering the White House under the Obama and Trump administrations for CNN since 2013.
He has become even more visible over the past year, where his tough questions have prompted WH press secretaries and the president to single him out at press briefings, accusing him and CNN of delivering “fake news.”
Acosta joined CNN in 2007. He previously worked as a CBS News correspondent.
What a joke. Totalmente falta de etica periodistica. Otro ‘puppet’ propagandista del liberalismo democrata y socialismo en los medios de este pais. Democrats have another big irreverent mouth in DC.
Una lastima. At some point in history Journamism used to have ethics and tried to somehow be balanced and truthful. Some years ago this ‘prmotion’ never would’ve happened. This speaks highly of the CNN brand this days…
Chief?
How many under his wing?
Puaf….whatta joke !
A promotion for a tool
Frankly, who watch CNN anymore?
He was once again had his temper trantrum today at the WH briefing. Very disrespectful and biased. What a shame.
Whether he and his organization likes it or not, elections have consequences.. remember?… and their job is to report the bad and the GOOD of any administration, not to be combative and prejudiced because he didn’t get it his way. Not a journalist.
I agree. Who watches this anymore?
Sorry for the typing errors. I wrote too fast. I meant to say that he once again had his temper tantrum today at the WH briefing. It’s insulting to half the country and to his profession. Reporters are expected to be more respectful and balanced with ALL administrations, not just the ones they like… or not. I would say the same if it was another party on power. If you can’t trust the media to do their duty, we’re in trouble.
dear prince…
i can see clearly that you are not a WH regular or haven’t been in thw there at all. do you have any idea of who is getting clearance to be a pool
… journalist? all those alt rigjt, consrvative white media is getting their press credentials there….
Emilio,
Thanks for your follow-up to my comments.
Not sure what you’re trying to say though. I see that ALL media ‘journalists’ get credentials to WH, even Mr. Acosta and from what I know, none is being spied by Feds like it happened in previous administration .
If Mr. Acosta would’ve done to Obama half of what he’s done to Trump, he would’ve been kicked-out not just by the President but even by his peers. It’s a shame. Mr. Acosta’s disrespectful and biased demeanor would not even fit with the Enquirer> Unfortunately this type of behavior is what’s being praised and copied these days, in both, English and Spanish news…
I don’t care who the President may be, whether it is Trump or Clinton, I think the media should have a level of decency, balance, commitment to truth, and should fulfill their duty and obligation, as simple as that. Report the good, not just what fits your narrative, whether it’s left or right. They are not activists unless that’s what’s being taught in schools now…
If Mr. Acosta or any WH reporter wants to push their agendas and dislikes down our throats, they should go work for a political party (obviously we’ve seen what parties they mostly go work for) or start a Talk Radio or Commentary Show on TV. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when they’re reporting, they should be reporting.
I don’t have to go to the WH to see what these so call ‘reporters’ have been doing and Tweeting.
Case rested Prince. 101% agreed.
