Jim Acosta was up to his old tricks.

Acosta kept up his bit attacking Donald Trump.

And now Jim Acosta told a lie about Donald Trump that made one thing about CNN perfectly clear.

Donald Trump released a statement expressing sympathy for some of the January 6 defendants being held in indefinite detention while federal prosecutors drop charges and release Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters who set fire to cities and looted private businesses.

“Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6 protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election,” Trump’s statement read.

Trump’s statement came ahead of a planned rally at the Washington, D.C. jail where the Biden administration is keeping the defendants locked up in what critics claim is a gulag.

On CNN, Jim Acosta asked former RINO Ohio Governor John Kasich about the rally and falsely claimed that Trump supported the rally.

“Governor, Republicans have been trying to distance themselves from this rally but if Trump is giving this his blessing could we see others in the GOP follow his lead?” Acosta asked.

But Donald Trump did not give his blessing to this rally.

In fact, in an interview with The Federalist, Trump said the rally was a “set up” and did not want his followers to go.

After Kasich responded, Acosta launched into another attack on Trump calling Trump an “unrepentant arsonist” based on comments Trump never made about supporting the rally for the January 6 defendants.

“We are dealing with a former president who is sort of like an unrepentant arsonist. He can’t help himself, enamored with the flames that he sets. What’s disturbing is our new CNN poll says 78% of Republicans say that Joe Biden did not actually win this election, getting back to what John Kasich was saying. It’s disturbing that we are still dealing with this,” Acosta added.

CNN claims it is a “facts first” network.

But Jim Acosta blatantly disregarded the facts about what Trump said to invent a caricature of President Trump.

That’s not “facts first.”

CNN is stuck in a downward spiral.

So they are resorting to their old playbook.

But Jim Acosta never expected this reaction when he shouted a question at Donald Trump.

CNN’s ratings are in the toilet.

Without Donald Trump in office, the network has lost half its audience.

In a bid for relevancy, CNN sent activist/Trump stalker Jim Acosta to Donald Trump’s event at the southern border with Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

At the event, Acosta tried to make himself the center of attention by shouting questions at Donald Trump.

The point wasn’t to elicit an answer from Trump or make actual news.

The point was to get Acosta on film yelling at Trump so Acosta could make whatever reaction he got the story.

That’s exactly what happened when Trump ignored Acosta demanding Trump apologize for January 6.

The crowd in attendance booed Acosta’s grandstanding and Acosta was too happy to share the video on social media.

Jim Acosta made himself famous in the Trump years by grandstanding and showboating during White House press briefings.

With CNN’s ratings tanking Jim Acosta is going back to the well of what worked in the past to try and boost the network’s flagging fortunes.

There is no one more associated with fake news than CNN’s Jim Acosta.

Acosta claimed Fox News is the problem.

And Jim Acosta used two words to describe Fox News that made him look like an utter fool.

Acosta appeared on the Mediaite’s The Interview podcast.

On the podcast, Acosta attacked Fox News as a “bulls**t factory” because Fox News doesn’t cover the same news with the same liberal bias that CNN and all the other corporate-controlled media outlets do.

“What they’ve decided to do since [the election] is double down on being what I call the bullsh!t factory,” Acosta ranted. “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.”

Acosta’s rant about Fox News airing segments to outrage their viewers rings hollow considering how much time CNN devotes to Donald Trump.

CNN relentlessly covers Trump because their ratings are down 70 percent since Trump left office and CNN is trying to scare Americans into thinking democracy is under attack from Trump in the hopes they go back to watching CNN.

And no network spreads more disinformation than CNN.

CNN’s narrative about the Russians paying bounties to kill American soldiers, Trump supporters beating Police Officer Brian Sicknick to death on January 6, and that Trump ordered protestors gassed on June 1, 2020 so Trump could walk to St. John’s Church for a photo op all proved to be lies in recent weeks.

If any network is a “bulls**t factory” it is CNN.
