So Jim Acosta, at CNN, is going to try to condemn Fox news.
First off, they ALL suck as they all lean in a certain direction and then they all alter their news a tad in that direction. Or they state the news but of course with their added agendas/opinions. So none are fully innocent there.
But you have a member of CNN of all places, laughingly calling another station bullshit. CNN has released more bullshit than ALL other MSM combined. :rolleyes: Then they have censored more and enjoyed it and promoted it. :rolleyes:
And then, this is Jim Acosta who has only been busted lying about press credentials, busted lying about what Trump stated in a speech, lied about what Kayleigh McEnany said over and over... lied about Trump visiting Steve Scalise in the hospital, then lied about speaking with a WH official & lied about him not going in the room - all in one tweet. He lied about Trump comments about Charlottesville, lied about a press conference in Hanoi...
When we're speaking of the MSM, and any lies - Jim Acosta has to be on the leaders board, top 5 material.
Fox is far from perfect. Couldn't say more as I don't watch TV news. But I do know they are 50x better than CNN. :rolleyes: And I don't see Tucker as what he claims.

Jim Acosta Torches Fox News as a ‘Bullsh*t Factory,’ Calls Tucker Carlson a ‘Race-Baiting Tyrant’
CNN anchor Jim Acosta is utterly unsparing in his criticism of rival network Fox News — dismissing the network as a “bullshit factory” and going hard at one of their lead hosts.
Speaking with Mediaite’s Aidan McLaughlin for this week’s episode of The Interview podcast, the CNN anchor bashed Fox News for what he deemed to be an increasing trend towards outrage content. Acosta highlighted the network’s call of Arizona for President Joe Biden in the 2020 election as a point at which they could have “come back to the real world.” Instead, the CNN anchor believes Fox has tried to cater to its audience, in a bid to claw back viewers from OAN and Newsmax, with what he labeled “more Trumpian” programming.
“What they’ve decided to do since [the election] is double down on being what I call the bullshit factory,” Acosta said. “They churn out segments that gin up outrage that they know is going to piss off their viewers and so on — even if it’s cockamamy made up nonsense. And they do it for the simple reason of attracting viewers, and ginning up the ratings.”
Asked by McLaughlin whether it’s “fair game” for him to cover Fox News, Acosta argued that he cannot ignore the happenings at the rival network.
“I’ve thought long and hard about this,” Acosta said. “And my attitude is that we have to talk about it, we have to cover it. Do we need to do it every hour of every day? No, we don’t. But if Trump or his lackeys go on Fox, and they spew this nonsense about the election, and they’re not fact checked in real time, then they’re operating as propagandists. And they’re doing a bad thing for this country.”
