Once again, Sarah Sanders shuts down CNN star Jim Acosta's grandstanding

Sarah Sanders shuts down CNN star Jim Acosta's grandstanding
Foxnews
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders shut down CNN’s Senior White House Correspondent Jim Acosta on Monday when the liberal reporter tried to hijack a press briefing during a conversation about fake news.
Acosta told Sanders that journalists make “honest mistakes” but that doesn’t make them “fake news” before attempting a question. Sanders quickly cut him off.
“I’m not taking another question from you.”
quote:
“When journalists make honest mistakes, they should own up to them. Sometimes, and a lot of times, you don’t,” Sanders said as Acosta tried to interrupt.
“I’m sorry, I’m not finished,” she said. “There is a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people... you cannot say it’s an honest mistake when you’re purposely putting out information you know is false.”
Acosta then asked Sanders to cite a specific story that was intentionally false.
“Sure. The ABC report by Brian Ross,” Sanders said, referring to a recent embarrassing correction ABC News issued after Ross botched a bombshell “exclusive” about retired general Michael Flynn that resulted in the reporter being suspended.
CNN’s Acosta should have stopped when he had the chance, as Sanders didn’t pick one of his network’s recent blunders to use as her example. However, Acosta tried to continue the conversation with repeated attempts to interrupt the press conference.
“Jim, I’m gonna say once and for all that I’m moving on,” Sanders said. “I’m not taking another question from you.”
CNN had to issue its own correction on Friday after The Washington Post debunked the network's report claiming the Trump campaign had early, secret access to hacked DNC emails from WikiLeaks. The network on Friday inaccurately trumpeted that Congressional investigators obtained a mysterious 2016 email that was sent to Trump and other top aides, including Donald Trump Jr., which contained information on how to get a sneak peek at hacked information that WikiLeaks had acquired. The email, as CNN reported, offered a “decryption key” to access the files – but the network botched the date on the email, rendering the entire report irrelevant.
On Monday, CNN backtracked a report from earlier this year that faulted Attorney General Jeff Sessions for failing to reveal meetings he had with Russian officials when he applied for his security clearance – a disclosure he wasn’t required to make. CNN also was widely mocked on Monday morning for a segment on Trump’s soda intake amid unfolding breaking news related to the terror attack in New York City.

This is probably why CNN is so "offended" today.

How can CNN claim that these are mistakes? That's pretty insulting to the intelligence of their viewers.

anytime i watch one of these press conferences i'm always aghast in the questions people like Acosta ask
they vomit out 2-3 paragraphs before they get to their theme, then another few sentences setting up a rigid structure for their biased questions.

She should just ban CNN from actively participating. Bury the network.

I can't wait to see these two in a Texas cage match.

I wish Sarah would've stepped down from the podium and slapped the frick out of Acosta.

I occasionally walk past a TV playing CNN in the airport. I'm always surprised at how much bullshite they can spew in just those few seconds.

Jim Acosta often asks questions based on what people on Twitter say about Jim Acosta to Jim Acosta. Jim Acosta has his finger on the pulse of what others think about Jim Acosta.

Reassign Acosta’s seat to the back of the room. And everytime he asks a question, Sanders should ask him to speak up because she cant hear him way back there.
Then just move on to someone else she can actually hear.

Its not that you ask tough questions, its because he acts like a child interrupting. amazingly disrespectful to the press core, immature, entitled and unprofessional.

Flipping channels yesterday, stopped for maybe 10 seconds on CNN. I swear just from what was in that 10 seconds you would think Trump was about to be convicted of treason and the only question left was which way the execution would go.
Its easy to see why their viewers are so disconnected from reality.

I said months ago, Trump isn't playing hardball. I would have froze CNN out back in March, no questions at press conferences , no interviews with ANYONE from the Administration until they start operating on the up and up.

He is daring to be thrown out.
The problem is that Sarah Sanders handed his arse to him over and over again - and she basically undresses him and makes him look foolish in the most nonchalant way you possibly can.
