CNN’s Jim Acosta: ‘The President Himself Has Been Peddling Fake News’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ACOSTA: "The president himself has been peddling fake news for some time now. He's one of the founding fathers of birtherism who indicated falsely that President Obama wasn't born in the United States when he was born in Hawaii. He alleged that millions of undocumented people were voting in the election and that drew the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. That was also fake news, wolf. He has, in the last six weeks, held out this hint that he had recordings of his conversations with Jim Comey when he probably knew all along there were never any such conversations. He could have ended that controversy weeks ago. He elected not to do that so he perpetuated fake news in that sense. I think we have to put this in the same prism that we put up many of the president's false statements. They're just not true. My understanding about that "New York Times" story, I believe Glen thrush tweeted this earlier today, no, Mr. President, that is not true. He did talk to people at the White House. Just like we do that. We talk to people at the white House before we put a story out. Sara Murray has an excellent story out now with administration officials being frustrated over this administration. We talked to administration about that. They cry over us using unnamed sources but the White House speaks anonymously to us all the time. The press has to understand that not only is the president playing games when he goes on Twitter, he's playing games with the facts."
