CNN's chief White House opinionator Jim @Acosta said one week ago the caravan of migrants was "hundreds and hundreds of miles away."

In fact, some reached the U.S. border four days later, this past Sunday, on buses "paid for by an anonymous organization." nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Mig…
Hopefully there is an investigative journalist out there who is interested in knowing who actually paid for the buses.

Meanwhile, ABC News' @justindoom reports more migrants are on track to arrive this weekend: abcnews.go.com/Politics/perce…
CNN's chief White House opinionator Jim @Acosta last week: Migrants in the caravan aren't going to be climbing over walls! It's not an invasion!

This week: caravan migrants climb over the border fence at International Friendship Park fox5sandiego.com/2018/11/13/vid…

Totally false reporting by @thehill @talstales: "Trump has repeatedly dismissed the conclusion of the intelligence community and said he accepts Putin's denials that he interfered in U.S. elections."
July 2018: “'I accept our intelligence community's conclusion that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election took place,' Trump said, reading from a prepared statement in front of reporters at the White House."
July 2018: "'Let me begin by saying that once again, full faith and support for America’s intelligence agencies. I have a full faith in our intelligence agencies,' he said, before the lights in the room faded out."

Former press secretaries Fleischer, McCurry agree on @Acosta behavior: 'I wish he would stop' thehill.com/opinion/white-…
when it comes to White House press briefings, the unwritten rule has always been this: One question, perhaps one follow-up before the president or press secretary moves on to another of the dozens of reporters in the room.
The reasons: Time is finite. Some reporters in the back of the room often aren't afforded a question at all. And, most importantly, a presidential press briefing shouldn't perpetually center around one reporter.

“Let’s get back to work”—Jim @Acosta thanks colleagues for their support, in a brief statement outside the courthouse where a judge just ORDERED WH to RESTORE his press pass, granting @CNN’s TRO on due process (Fifth Amendment) grounds. First Amendment issues to be decided later
Trump-appointed Judge orders White House to return CNN's @Acosta's press pass, ruling WH violated his right to due process. So WH must have rules before it can say the press violated them. (Too limited, imho. WH's First Amendment arguments were untenable.) cnn.com/2018/11/16/med…
PEAK Propaganda White House! They flatly misstate today’s court victory for CNN ordering the WH to reinstate @Acosta’s press pass b/c the WH violated the Constitution’s Fifth Amendment. The Court didnt rule on 1Am—let alone “made clear there is no absolute First Amendment right”

It’s no such thing

Ted Olson, CNN’s lawyer on the Acosta lawsuit: This is an important First Amendment case hotair.com/archives/2018/…
“While the suit is specific to @CNN and @Acosta, this could have happened to anyone,” CNN claimed this morning in its statement about the suit.

Not really.
The fact that Acosta doesn’t behave like anyone else at press conferences isn’t lost on the audience, including his own colleagues in the industry.

CNN's Jim Acosta told a longtime Trump White House staffer "Fuck You" last night.

Justin Caporale worked for First Lady Melania Trump as Director of Operations for the East Wing. He responded to an Acosta tweet last night & received this:

Is this how CNN treats Trump WH staff?
Justin Caporale (@justincap_) moved from the Office of the First Lady to work with the Trump campaign - doing communications & advance work for Trump's rallies. Acosta knew he worked for the First Lady & the President.

CNN's Acosta told him "Fuck You" anyway & then blocked him.
Here is the offending tweet that caused CNN's Chief White House Correspondent to send a profanity-laced message to a former White House staffer:
