CNN producer slams CNN's Jim Acosta for being a "frame-hog"
CNN's Jim Acosta and the President have a mutual distance for one another. Trump, on several occasions, has embarrassed the journalist during White House briefings by refusing to address his questions. Trump, on occasion, has even intentionally not invited Acosta to events. Trump has a good reason. Acosta's bias reporting almost always ends with a twisted and even warp story about the President being released.
Acosta soft of made this bed and not that it's time to lay in it, he claims that it's the President's fault his integrity as a reporter in the garbage. However, in an interesting turn of events, a CNN producer says it's Acostas' skirmishes that make all in the press look bad.
Fox News reported:
"CNN producer-turned media watchdog Steve Krakauer described his former colleague, CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta, as a fame-seeking attention-getter who is “actively helping Trump get re-elected” while making the press look bad.
“I don't think CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta is a bad guy. I worked with him at CNN, and he was a solid, competent reporter. If Acosta's goal was to be a great White House reporter, he could probably do it,” Krakauer wrote. “But that's not Jim Acosta's goal. Jim Acosta wants to be famous.”
Though, Krakauer is clearly not a fan of President Trump he regularly holds reporters, like Acosta, accountable on his newsletter called "Fourth Watch": On a Sunday edition the producer started off by lighting Acosta up:
“Acosta clearly aspires to use this opportunity to spar with President Trump, #Resistance Signal on Twitter and generally build his brand to move on to bigger things - a prime time show maybe, or at least a few late night TV appearances,” Krakauer wrote before pointing out the CNN reporter’s past Twitter profile background image that featured a picture of his appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“Jim Acosta loves nothing more than Jim Acosta,” Krakauer wrote. “I've also half-joked that if we found out, years from now, that Acosta was actually a plant and was secretly working for the Trump re-election campaign, I wouldn't be shocked.”
Acosta has regularly used the President to better his own brand (his name) and it's cost his network dearly. That's evident in their ever-dwindling ratings.
