CNN's Acosta slammed for saying Trump held 'fake news conference'http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/07/06/cnns-acosta-slammed-for-saying-trump-held-fake-news-conference.html
CNN reporter Jim Acosta took heat Thursday from conservatives on Twitter after the combative correspondent accused President Trump of holding a fake news conference -- and later spewed some "fake news" of his own when he claimed Trump misstated the number of intelligence agencies that concluded Russia meddled in the presidential election.
During a joint news conference with President Andrzej Duda in Poland, Trump took questions from reporters from The Daily Mail and MSNBC. But that apparently wasnt good enough for Acosta, whos no stranger to sparring with Trump and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
Trump finally held a news conference overseas. But he took a question from a friendly reporter and then attacked CNN as fake news, Acosta tweeted, adding: Isnt it a fake news conference to take a question from a reporter who is essentially an ally of the White House?
Acosta apparently was referring to The Daily Mail's U.S. political editor David Martosko, who was considered last month for a gig in Trumps communications department but pulled out of consideration
