Chris Wallace: Acosta’s performance was shameful

It's not that he's being rude, it's that he's trying to use his position to interject himself into political topics by being boisterous, preachy, and intentionally confrontational. That's not what a journalist is supposed to do.

but there is doing that and there is flat out being rude which Acosta was.

the playbook is

1. be super inflammatory

2. get trump to be inflammatory back

3. claim you're (a) resisting an authoritarian as (b) he attacks the press because (c) he has something to hide and is scared you're going to expose it

it's essentially a conspiracy theory-based media

Wow. If Chris Wallace is even somewhat defending Trump, he was really out of line.

He's not a journalist. His job is to push propaganda. You know that.

CNN must disavow and fire Acosta. It’s a good thing Acosta is such a limp wrist and his strike couldn’t do any damage.

He simply needs to be removed by CNN as the White House reporter. He's lost all sense of objectivity which is needed for reporting. Everything he does now is simply to extract a negative comment.

wrong, it still is
