CNN led the way at President Donald Trumps Fake News Awards last night, and the networks chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, was none too pleased.
Acosta appeared at the Newseum last night, where he joined fellow White House correspondents including; John Roberts and April Ryan for a discussion about press freedom, and the negative effects of media suppression. He reacted to the results in real time, and went on to slam the president.
Acosta proceeded to list several of Trumps falsehoods, including his part in the Obama birther movement, and his groundless claims of losing the 2016 popular vote due to mass voter fraud. Acosta insisted he wasnt speaking through the lens of an agenda, stating that Trumps tendency to lie is just a fact.
