The list of atrocious things that CNN will not fire its employees for continues to grow! CNN just cannot bring itself to terminate any of its left-wing anchors and reporters – no matter how badly they behave.
The only exception might be if a CNN employee gets really drunk and then accidentally lets it slip that they think the Mueller probe is a steaming load of horse manure. But so long as they remain ardent anti-Trump zealots, CNN employees have better job security than a tenured college professor.
In addition to drug possession, trespassing in a public park while trussed up in bondage ropes and carrying a sex toy around in a boot (CNN anchor Richard Quest), running a propaganda bureau in Baghdad for Saddam Hussein for ten years, and claiming that American soldiers are assassinating reporters (CNN news chief Eason Jordan), we can now add karate-chopping a female White House intern to the list of job-protected activities at CNN.
CNN’s Jim Acosta was in high dudgeon the day after the midterm elections, because his year-long blue wave voodoo failed to produce anything other than a slim Democrat majority in the House. (Impeachment fever dreams die in darkness!) During the White House press conference, Acosta refused to surrender the microphone after his turn to ask a question was over. Acosta kept barking questions at the President of the United States about the Honduran MS-13 horde that is marching toward our southern border.
Trump finally told Acosta to shut up and sit down, calling Acosta a “rude, terrible person” and noting that CNN should be ashamed to have such a hack working for them.
In fairness, President Trump has probably not heard about CNN anchor Richard Quest’s spectacular arrest in Central Park. CNN is definitely never ashamed of its employees!
During press conferences with a large gaggle of reporters at the White House, it’s the job of interns to pass around a microphone to the press. That way everyone gets the same audio feed of the briefing and the Secret Service only has to check one microphone for a bomb. All of the reporters share the microphone. When a young female White House intern in a dress went up to Jim Acosta to try to do her job, Acosta snatched the mic away from her.
When the girl reached for the microphone again, Jim Acosta karate-chopped her in the arm. Depending on how you view different levels of assault, you might classify it as a sissy-boy karate chop, or perhaps an Austin Powers judo chop, but it was definitely a chop and it definitely hit her right in the arm.
Let’s put it this way: If Jim Acosta laid his hands on your wife or daughter that violently and you were standing right there, you probably would have shoved the microphone down his throat.
The very next day, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced that big man Jim Acosta’s press pass had been revoked because he had karate chopped a girl. Sanders even showed video evidence of Acosta’s aggressive behavior – in slow motion – to reporters by way of explanation. The entire mainstream media’s response was universal: Jim Acosta was framed!
Every mainstream news outlet immediately posited the conspiracy theory that Sarah Sanders sat up all night doctoring a video to make it look like Jim Acosta had karate chopped a girl.
Did anyone else find it curious that every TV news station knows that it takes “all night” to doctor up a video? Well, video is harder to “doctor up” than a birth certificate.
The media spent the next two hours of airtime examining the footage and declaring that it was from a different angle than the regular press pool camera. Checkmate, Sarah Sanders!
Finally, the White House pointed out that the slow-motion footage was from the C-SPAN news feed, which was why no one had previously seen it. (Insert your own joke there.)
The mainstream media spent hour after hour moaning about Jim Acosta losing his White House press pass. When they were given the explanation, they instantly pivoted to a conspiracy theory that the White House had doctored the video to frame Jim Acosta. All so that Trump could revoke Jim Acosta’s press pass.
A press pass isn’t a lifetime badge that can never be revoked. Obama revoked or denied press passes all the time to conservative reporters who wanted to ask about Fast & Furious, the IRS scandal, Hillary Clinton’s missing emails, unmasking Trump campaign officials in classified intelligence reports and other uncomfortable questions.
News flash for CNN: You can also get kicked out of a movie theater for behaving like a turd.
Yet the media hates President Trump with such fiery passion that it advanced a conspiracy theory that Sarah Sanders sat up ALL NIGHT using Adobe Suite to create a video of Jim Acosta karate chopping a girl. “Just look at how she’s rolling her eyes at us! She’s obviously exhausted!” Again – all that work just to revoke Jim Acosta’s press pass.
So, the White House used that thing that was missing from the Brett Kavanaugh witch hunt and the Trump-Russia witch hunt… wait, what was that thing called again? Oh, right – “Evidence.”
After the media denied that the attack happened for several hours, the White House presented irrefutable evidence of the attack. The media immediately pivoted to a new angle on the story:
White House Intern Batters Hero Reporter!
ABC’s The View did an entire segment explaining that when the White House intern in a dress attempted to get the microphone back from Acosta, she committed “battery” against him by doing her job. (Incidentally, that is the first time the media has been forced to use the words “White House intern” and “dress” in the same sentence since Bill Clinton was in office.)
There you have it: According to the media, Jim Acosta karate-chopped a girl in self-defense! So brave!
Needless to say, Jim Acosta’s job at CNN is safe. This is in spite of the fact that his title is “Chief White House Correspondent” and he is now banned from entering the White House for punching a girl with his weak Antifa arms.
Perhaps CNN will fill up Acosta’s free time by having him do Profiles in Courage pieces on Democrat lawmakers. He could start with “fellow victim” Keith Ellison.
