What's Really Behind the Jim Acosta 'Controversy'? | Roger L. Simon
"The superficial characteristic of the
Jim Acosta "controversy" is that the recently banned -- actually just his "hard pass" was taken -- CNN White House correspondent is a boring narcissist who wants to make all press conferences about him.
He never asks a real question.
He just spouts his utterly predictable and tedious opinions as long as he can before
asking the political equivalent of "When did you stop beating your wife?"
He's not the only one.
He's just, for the moment, the most extreme of a bad lot.
If you watch White House press conferences,
you rarely hear a question of any substance.
It's
one preening accusation after the other and a complete waste of everyone's time.
So who benefits from this meaningless charade under the surface (although not far)?
Who is profiteering off the grandstanding of Acosta and others?
It's not the American people -- that's for sure.
It's the major media companies (ABC, CBS, etc.) who, acting as monopolies in a cartel of sorts, get maximum exposure -- mostly to the exclusion of everybody else...
...It's no surprise then that Fox has backed up CNN in its lawsuit to "Free Jim" against the administration.
They're all drinking from the same trough.
That John Roberts is a better reporter than Acosta (who wouldn't be?) is of, at best, minor consequence.
Preserving the cartel is what counts.
Completely lost in this charade is the
American public that learns absolutely nothing from these cage fights... er, press conferences..."

John McDonnell last night promoted the collective ownership of land and said if he gets in power he will transform the state from within.Arguably, however, most Americans have never heard about the DNC voter fraud, mainly because the mainstream media is camped out on the alleged collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Shrouded in mystery, one of the DNC lawsuit’s most jaw-dropping events occurred May 24, when the body of U.S. District Attorney Beranton J. Whisenant, Jr. was found on a Hollywood, Florida beach.
When his body was originally found, police announced they were investigating Whisenant’s death from a head wound as a homicide, but detectives and the medical examiner reported this week that the married father of three “had shot himself in the head,” according to The Sun Sentinel.
And the polls seem to back them up.
