White House Correspondents' Association President Jonathan Karl rebuked his colleague Jim Acosta of CNN for his conduct on the job.Karl, chief Washington correspondent at ABC News, provided the criticism of his fellow White House reporter both in his new book Front Row at the Trump Show, released Tuesday, and during recent interviews. In the book, he argued Acosta, who has had a multitude of verbal dust-ups with President Trump during press briefings, was "playing into the explicit Trump strategy of portraying the press as the opposition party" and encouraged him not to "give speeches from the White House briefing room."

When a member of the liberal media notices that Acosta is acting like a member of the resistance, and is brave enough to say it in public, you know that Acosta's statements and actions are out of line.

That's a man bites dog headline if I've ever read one.
I thought you had to be a card carrying member of "The Resistance" to belong to WCHA. Well, at least since January 2017.

He's an enemy agent, just that simple.

Hey, Jonathan, you're all part of the resistance--everyone of you from the alphabet networks. Your'e just jealous he gets more airtime and within social distance guidelines of PDT. But to be honest, I'd love to sit in on one of those press briefings.
Acosta is a fool, Karl is a fool. All of these self-aggrandizing journalists hope to be the one to bring PDT down. So tired of these puffed-up talking heads telling us what to do and believe. Bird-brains of a feather...
MAGA!!! KAG!!! TRUMP 2020 AND BEYOND!!! May these fools end up eating their words...ALL of them!

Ah, but didn't some woman from PBS say they're all working together? That Acosta is not alone, he, and the rest of the MSM, are coordinating their questions and attacks on this president. Isn't that what she was saying just a couple days ago?
I would not doubt they are being fed by the likes of The Democracy Integrity Project founders, who were pushing the Russian Collusion stories just to keep it going.

Karl doesn't want us to figure out that "the press is the opposition party". OOPS, too late. We know.

I could chide him for acting like a number (hehehe) of other things. Journalist would not be one of them.

Dear Diary,
Why is Jonathan saying such mean things about me? Didn't he read the "talking points" Jeff Zucker gave to all his ace reporters? I believe I'm following his instructions, but I'll check, just in case, even tho I'm never ever wrong. Then, I'll stand in front of the mirror, and practice my look of gravitas. I don't know why so many right-wing ideologues say I Iook constipated. That's mean, too. I guess the right and left just don't appreciate me. Love, Abilio James

Jim Acosta is too self absorbed to be part of a resistance. He is just an arrogant little twit with a huge undeserved ego. He does this to get attention and it works.

Karl is right but for the wrong reasons.

Maybe this is why Acosta acted like a normal human being at yesterday's briefing.

FTA: . . . Jim Acosta . . ."playing into the explicit Trump strategy of portraying the press as the opposition party".
Jim Acosta exemplifies the accuracies in PDJT’s comments about the antagonism and opposition of the press toward him. He is personification of an explicit press strategy to destroy this presidency - the face of their exposure.

This is form over substance. Substance: Acosta, and most all of the MSM, are indeed, "the Resistance." Form: admonishing Acosta for "acting" like what he is, is to encourage reporters to be deceitful.
Better to simply encourage reporters to use good manners and to respect the office of POTUS, whoever holds that office. And playing "Gotcha" 24/7 is growing tedious.

Karl used to work for Fox years ago. Maybe he still has a couple brain cells that talk to each other.

He acts like something all right, but I'd be banned from here if I said what I think he acts like.

In-between accusations of Trump providing “false hope” Acosta asked Dr. Birx if she could user her chart to estimate how many people Trump killed by not taking action on the coronavirus sooner.

It seems that the complaint is actually more like "being too obvious" when trying to take down the President.

Karl telling someone the media has standards???What a joke! Anything to sell his book. Karl argues with Trump as often as Acosta. I haven't heard one positive remark from anyone about the WH press. Look in the mirror...it's not Trump
