Jim Acosta Claim He Was Just As Tough On Obama Is Laughable

Like CNN, Jim Acosta has become a sad pathetic clown
In the past 18 months, CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta has suggested President Trump is a “racist,” while whining that Trump’s complaints about press bias were doing “real damage to the First Amendment,” speculating that someday we might see “a dead journalist on the side of the highway, because of the rhetoric coming out of the White House.”

On Wednesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Acosta said this about his Trump coverage: “Listen, when I covered Barack Obama, I was just as tough on him. People might not believe that.” The reason Acosta think people won't believe it is because it's true.
As tough on Obama as he’s been on Trump?

January 12, 2009, just one week before President-elect Obama was sworn in, Acosta had already placed his Inaugural Address on par with that of Abraham Lincoln: “Barack Obama has some big shoes to fill, roughly the size of the ones up on the Lincoln Memorial... Obama’s Inaugural Address may be more than the speech of his lifetime. Historians and speech writers say it could be one for the ages.”
February 3, 2010, Acosta portrayed the tea party conservative protesters as kooks: “Take recession-raging conservatives and independents... Add a Democrat to the White House... And you get the Tea Party.”
In the same report, Acosta confronted a protester about showing proper respect for Obama: “Do you think having the President dressed up as the Grim Reaper is a little over-the-top?...You think it’s appropriate?” Can anyone imagine Acosta asking a Democrat "Are you showing proper respect for President Trump? No, I didn't think so.
 June 2011, Acosta sounded like an Obama spokesman as he disparaged conservative proposals for a “cut, cap and balance” approach to ending budget deficits: “It’s not exactly cut, cap, and balance,” Acosta smirked on CNN Newsroom. “It may be more body-slam and pile-driver.”
At Obama’s second Inauguration, Acosta pulled a Chris Matthews spewing “You know, I feel like I should pinch myself right now,” he told anchor Wolf Blitzer. “I can’t believe I have this vantage point of history in the making.”
I can't count how many times Acosta whined about Trump going around the press by talking directly to the people through Twitter. BUT, Acosta thought it was smart and successful politics when the Obama White House circumvented the national media to sell ObamaCare in 2014.
September 2, 2015, when President Obama agreed to a nuclear deal with Iran, Acosta painted it as an accomplishment: “This a major diplomatic victory for the President....This is something that will shape the Obama legacy...” But on May 8, 2018 when President Trump announced he’d be ending Obama's deal, Acosta painted it as a reckless gamble: “President Trump is rolling the nuclear dice...By all appearances, the Trump administration does not have much of a plan for stopping Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons at this point.”

Kimmel then asked, if he ever felt sorry for Spicier or Sanders for having to be in such a position.

“Listen, they've signed up for this and if they’re going to lie to the American people, those lies come with consequences,” Acosta said. I wonder what consequences he believes CNN should pay, considering they lie almost on a daily basis.

Just this week they lied saying that Trump called illegal immigrants "Animals." It took them nearly 24-hours before changing their narrative and correctly saying that Trump was specifically calling MS-13 gang members "Animals" NOT Illegal Immigrants.

 
Even On Late Night Acosta Can't Stop Telling Half-Truths
Kimmel asked "Are you the only reporter who's ever been kicked out of a press situation by the President of the United States?"

"I think so. You know, I wear it as a badge of honor," Acosta answered.

But what Acosta didn't tell Kimmel's audience was, that badge of honor was for being a douche bag.
