Jim Acosta: 'This is a dangerous time to tell the truth in America' | The Guardian

Acosta defended his heated interactions with Trump and slammed the president and his administration for continuing to describe the press as the enemy of the people and for claiming CNN were purveyors of “fake news”.

Speaking at an event at the Oxford Union in the UK, Acosta said: “Perhaps they won’t stop calling us the enemy of the people because it works so well with their people, but all of this adds up to one painful reality: this is a dangerous time to tell the truth in America.”

I was just getting ready to say. he wouldn't know the truth if it hit him in the face.
the guy is one of the most dishonest lying reporters out there and he has lost any credibility with
anyone that doesn't have max TDS syndrome.

Case in point.

The [microphone intern] row escalated after the White House then suspended Acosta’s pass, accusing the correspondent of assaulting the intern.

In response to the incident, Acosta said: “The vast majority of people could plainly see the only thing that was under assault that day was the truth.

Of course, we all do.

I haven't heard anyone who has a working brain support Trump's proclamation of the press being the enemy of the people.

The irony here too is that Trump, while trying to destroy Acosta, is actually making him more powerful. But Trump isn't real bright.

I disagree with Acosta. It's a great time to tell the truth in America. And many journalists are doing just that. Much to Trump's chagrin.

why do you think it is ok for him to shove the arm of a women intern or put hands on anyone?
funny how liberals are always in an uproar over women until it is one of their own.

the only time he was truthful was when he was at the border and showed that walls actually do work.
the only people that actually believe acosta are TDS'ers.

the only reason that CNN even keeps him around is to fan feed their tiny small viewership that needs a
constant TDS input every 5 minutes.

Funny how the truth burns conservatives.

Seems like Trump has a penchant for this. Just a couple months ago there was a rift within the Democratic Party over Pelosi becoming the Speaker. Now, mostly thanks to Trump, she is more popular/powerful than ever.

She is indeed. And she has Trump to thank for that.
