Ethics villain, Jim Acosta eventually quit CNN in a snit because it began showing a little bit of balance regarding President Trump, but how was such a partisan, biased Axis hack allowed to be CNN’s White House correspondent in the first place? The guy is an A1 Choice USDA -certified ethics villain and, incidentally, an asshole.
Cheer-leading for Colbert is signature significance, to begin with. Gutfield is correct on the facts: it has been verified repeatedly that CBS was losing millions on Colbert.
A swollen staff is part of the reason; the other reason is that Colbert deliberately alienated half the country.
Acosta then defaults to the Axis narrative that President Trump got Colbert cancelled. It’s a lie, flat out. “Dear Leader” is a sarcastic name used by the Trump Deranged. This Axis “advocacy journalist” was out to trash President Trump from the moment he was elected,
Then Acosta privets to the “poor fired employees” guilt trip. They lost their jobs because the show they were working for was losing money! It happens to the best of us (and me, several times). That’s how business works in the U.S. Too bad this isn’t the socialist worker’s paradise Acosta and his fellow travelers dream about. And Gutfield didn’t celebrate the staff losing their jobs anyway. He stated that the staff was ridiculously huge, which it was.
[I will link to Jim Acosta’s ugly EA dossier when WordPress is functioning better, which it currently is not, and its “Happiness Engineers” (Yuck!) have been useless.]
He’s an Ethics Villain. When people complain about Trump calling the news media the “enemy of the people,” Jim Acosta is Exhibit A in the President’s defense.
Note: Exhibit B could be Dana Milbank, whom the Washington Post finally jettisoned as one of its partisan columnists after years of Axis hackery. Today on ABC he cited as one of the three reasons Kamala Harris lost the election was “the backlash against a black woman being the Democratic nominee.” Just thinking that, never mind saying it in public, disqualifies anyone as a serious and trustworthy analyst. Milbank was a political reporter and columnist for the Washington Post for 25 years.

Acosta isn’t just an ethics villain, he is a villain period.
Any major lib dude could play the “the poor people who lost their jobs…” card, or it’s close cousin, the race card… Oh, wait! All those people supposedly employed by Colbert’s show are, at least to the untrained eye, almost all lily-white! I count maybe two obvious minorities — Where is Acosta’s concern for the racial imbalance?? Oh, the humanity!
I know money is not supposed to be a concern for the Left where employment is concerned, but CBS as a big, evil corporation surely does care about those sweet, sweet dollars — or in this case, the lack thereof. Where is Acosta’s condemnation of all that corporate greed? I guess when you’re a Lefty, you get to pick your choice of outrage and ignore the inconvenient ones.
The dude is a clueless idiot, made evil by is own bias.
