White House Correspondents’ Association President Slams CNN’s Jim Acosta For His Conduct During Press Conferences

peace is the prize 🌱 🌟🌟🌟 on Twitter: "… " It looks like CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta might be making another diary entry soon. The attention-hungry journalist, who is known for trying to make each press conference about himself, just received a sharp rebuke from Jon Karl, the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association and a reporter for ABC News.

In his book “Front Row at the Trump Show,” and in multiple interviews, Karl slammed Acosta’s conduct during press briefings. In his book, he criticizes Acosta for “playing into the explicit Trump strategy of portraying the press as the opposition party,” and intimated that he should not “give speeches from the White House briefing room.”

In an interview with The Daily Beast, he expanded on his criticism of the CNN reporter. “Regarding Jim Acosta, to paraphrase Voltaire, I will defend to the death his right to report from the White House, but I have some issues with the style in which he has done so … We can be tough, we can call out things that are not true, we can be aggressive in our questioning, but I don’t think we should act like we are part of the resistance.”
