Conservative reporter confronts CNN’s Jim Acosta at CPAC for not covering Governor Cuomo

29

Watch. CNN has not covered Governor Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home scandal, or allegations of sexual assaults by a former aide. Instead, they continue to attack President Trump, Senator Cruz, and other Republicans. It’s a disgrace.

Conservative reporter confronts CNN’s Jim Acosta at CPAC

By The Hill, February 27, 2021

Former CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta got entangled in a confrontation with a reporter for The Federalist at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Friday over his network’s coverage of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Acosta was in the middle of an interview at CPAC when David Marcus, the New York correspondent for the Federalist, interrupted, asking repeatedly why CNN wasn’t reporting on the sexual abuse allegations Cuomo faces or his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Hey, hey, hey, Jim,” Marcus said on the video which the Federalist later posted to Twitter. “Hey, Jim, I’m David Marcus from The Federalist; when are you guys going to start covering Cuomo?”

“We do, we do,” Acosta said, before asking if he could finish what he was doing first before engaging with Marcus.

Marcos then continues to interrupt Acosta to ask about Cuomo in the video posted on Twitter.

CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Acosta covered the White House throughout former President Trump’s administration and became a nationally-known figure for his contentious battles with the former president.

The years covering Trump made Acosta a target of Trump supporters at rallies and other events, something that also took place at CPAC, where a crowd followed Acosta around the conference chanting “CNN sucks,” according to the Independent.

CPAC is a home base of sorts of Trump this week. The former president will speak at the event on Sunday.

Marcus defended confronting Acosta while he was conducting an interview, telling The Hill that he should have expected it at CPAC.

Of course CNN isn’t going to question Cuomo, that doesn’t fit the narrative. Trump bad, Democrats good no matter what.

Of cause Acosta has to be very careful in what he is answering. If he by accident would make an honest statement that would surely cost him his high payed job as a professional hater and liar.

Acosta also has Fredo to deal with back at CNN. As stupid as CNN’s Fredo is, he is not his Michael Corleone like brother/Governor. Just as Michael Corleone did his Five Families massacre of Barzini etal, Gov. Cuomo did his own massacre of nursing home patients.

It’s one reason they call CNN the following:
Communist New Network

Not only that he’s a supporter and follower of the UN sponsored communist/fascists’ movement that is well on it’s way of taking over the entire US. These douche bags know that when the US falls , so falls the rest of western democracy.

My question is why has Cuomo not been subjected to a recall before now? Many people have lost their jobs for much less than what he has done

Living in NY I do nit believe recall is available. We have to vote him out or bring him up in charges. He and mayor Deblasio screwed the state. However, it is the liberals that voted fir these clowns.
Cuomo names bridge after dad with no input or vote. He closes Indian point nuclear so rates already high will skyrocket. His parole board freed many cop killers from longer sentences and life in prison.

Yet like nationally the people choose poorly then whine about it.

Well we all know Acosta is a globalist shill and a human POS. He will only do what his puppeteers tell him to do and he gets paid nicely for it. He has no honor nor love for our country.
Annnd they probably have some pedo files on him and that is how they started controlling him from the beginning.

CNN’s agenda is to defame Trump.
That’s why Acosta is at the convention.
He is being covered as newsworthy and he certainly should be with everything he says that is propaganda worthy being publicized.
Censoring negative news about Cuomo’s nursing home regulations and sexual harassment of staff should be a leading news item.
