CNN star Jim Acosta, who never met a camera he didn’t like, was caught red-handed Friday manufacturing fake news. (Breitbart)
CNN anti-Trump activist Jim Acosta was caught on video Friday not only engaging in shameless grandstanding, but in the actual act of manufacturing fake news.
In the video embedded below, Acosta is present at a White House event where President Trump delivered remarks about the five journalists murdered in Maryland on Thursday. As you will see, though, Acosta is clearly too far away to be seen or heard by the president.
Nevertheless, although there is no way he will be heard, Acosta drops all pretense of professionalism to still holler a question to the president: “Will you stop calling the press the enemy of the people, sir?”
OMG!
CNN’s @Acosta repeatedly shouts “Mr. President, will you stop calling the press the enemy of the people” at @realDonaldTrump and is shushed by an onlooker! pic.twitter.com/6eEySyHVNx

It is only at the end of the video that we discover Acosta’s true motive, and it is the opposite of journalism. Watch as Acosta turns around to look at his cameraman and appears to ask if they got the shot. Then the camera lights are shut off, which again reveals just how staged and artificial all of this is.
Sorry, Jim, but knowing the president is too far away to hear your wailing and doing it anyway doesn’t qualify as journalism.
