Tammy Bruce: Acosta Is Not a Journalist; He’s Made a ‘Mockery’ of It

‘We thought he wanted his own show’

EXCERPT:

BRUCE: "Yeah. And just even based on the title of this book, it’s not going to affect him at all, because he is not a journalist. He has made a mockery. Others have made mockery of an incredibly important industry. And yet, President Trump, just by existing, has exposed so much. Look, this didn't just happen to the legacy media. This has exposed the degree of their partisanship that has clearly been applied likely for decades, right? So, this is important, it’s very disappointing. It’s a problem for our democracy. We have got, you know, being able to ask questions of power by legitimate individuals who are serious about wanting to get answers. Separate and, you know, regardless of partisanship, is important part of our democracy. But, we also were wondering when Acosta was doing all his shenanigans at the press briefings, we thought he wanted his own show. Well, now we know it was for content for a book. That’s what he was doing. So, this is, I think clear and I don’t mind if people have noticed we have now had the longest stretch of not having a press briefing. I think perhaps Karl would maybe know the number in the history since they returned with Bill Clinton. And if you noticed, our lives are better. Right? We have not had the daily shenanigans of this particular person or the other individuals and the American people remain informed. So hopefully the White House will continue to not do that."
