Has CNN finally gotten the message…
President Donald Trump mocked CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta during a G-20 press conference in Osaka, Japan.
“And what is it with your coziness with some of these dictators and autocrats at these summits?” Acosta asked. “With Mohammad Bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, when you were asked about the case of Jamal Khashoggi, you did not respond to that question in front of the Saudi Crown Prince.”
“I don’t know that anybody asked me,” Trump responded.
“Were you afraid of offending him on that subject?” Acosta asked.
“No, not at all,” Trump responded. “I don’t really care about offending people. I sort of thought you’d know that.”
G20 Press Conference @realDonaldTrump gives @acosta a shot when asked whether he pressed MBS on Khashoggi
Acosta – are you afraid of offending him on that subject?
Pres. Trump: Not at all. I don’t really care about offending people. I sort of thought you would know that

Trump said while pointing at the other journalists in the room: “I get along with everybody — except you people, actually.”
“Mr. President, on the case of Jamal Khashoggi, you have a lot of journalists in this room who object to what appears to be the Saudi government’s complicity and perhaps orchestration of the assassination and dismembering of a journalist,” Acosta pressed. “And do you agree that it is despicable for a government to kill a journalist in that fashion?”
“Yes, I do,” Trump responded. “I think it’s horrible. Or anybody else, by the way. But I think it’s horrible. And, if you look, and look into Saudi Arabia and you see what’s happening, 13 people or so have been prosecuted. Others are being prosecuted. They’ve taken it very, very seriously, and they will continue to. And I’ve let everybody know I’m not — I’m very unhappy about that whole event.”

Acosta is a stone looser, can’t the Communist News Network understand that
Jim Acosta the Maxine Waters of so called journalists ( ethical
journalism and journalist are an OXYMORON )
Acosta is an embarrassment to the human
race. Don’t like CNN – Cooper, Acosta
are the worst ‘journalists ‘ on the face of
the earth.
Why don’t they follow Beto O’rouke the
dumbest one to Mexico. He cannot get
votes from the Americans now he is
soliciting votes from foreign nationals.
Isn’t there a law that forbids a hopeful
candidate that is running for the presidential
race to be disqualified? Where is CNN?
It seems they all are stupid.
Mr Trump has accomplished more than
the previous one. He ruined this country
and the other countries are having respect
for Mr Trump. Kudos Mr Trump.
The headline was about CNN, What happened to CNN? Terrible misleading article, typical AOL 1st grade reporting.
You didn’t read it right. CNN was just identifying who Acosta was. It was about him.
CNN just can’t seem to get it that Acosta is leading them down the drain as a news channel? And they haven’t got very far to go!If I ask friend “anyone watch CNN” they all laugh and say “YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING”!
JIMMY BOY ACOSTA, Is a ORDINARY pain in the BUTT for the POTUS !! Someone needs to Jimmy BOY ACOSTA behind the WOOD SHED and teach this BOY a lesson about how to TREAT and RESPECT a PRESIDENT ..
