CNN insiders rip Jim Acosta's antics as 'auditions' for his own show

So Jim Acosta has an ulterior motive for being an idiot.  Is Chris Matthews retiring?

Jim Acosta is suddenly one of CNN's most controversial figures even among some of his CNN colleagues, who say his public battles with the Trump administration are going too far.

One of Acosta's colleagues, an on-air conservative political commentator for CNN, said he sees an ulterior motive in Acosta's actions. He said Acosta's widely noticed clashes with the White House give the impression that he wants a new role at the network.

 

"He's angling to host an opinion show," he said. "These [White House] briefings are his auditions."

Another CNN employee in Washington, D.C. made it clear that Acosta's outbursts aren't as popular behind the scenes as CNN sometimes makes them out to be on the air.

"Ugh, just ugh," a producer told the Washington Examiner when asked about Acosta.

Acosta is CNN's most visible White House correspondent, and his notoriety grew Wednesday when he pressed Stephen Miller, a top White House adviser, on the administration's new Republican-backed bill that aims to sharply reduce immigration.

Acosta is predictably idiotic. I believe Miller set him up for his tantrum.

 

As far as the article and Acosta trying to get his own show?  Could be. 90% of the press pool are just pathetic people. Anything to be on TV.

Just like the people that audition for the reality shows.

Problem with Acosta is he needs to read the Trump book on how to turn negative attention into positive results.
