CNN’s Jim Acosta was slammed as a “narcissist” after posting a photo of himself receiving the coronavirus vaccine while wearing a T-shirt touting stories he’s covered as a reporter in 2020. 5 hours ago Does anyone remember the Jim Acosta who went to the White House to yell at President Trump? And who wouldn't let him talk for more than about ten words before he started yelling again? On Saturday, the exact opposite happened as Acosta the CNN Host interviewed radical Rep.
While some internet users have praised Jim Acosta for doing his job well with the coverage of certain prominent events that defined 2020, the rest are trolling him (Getty Images/Twitter) Sharing pictures and videos of yourself getting the Covid-19 shot has become a trend. CNN reporter Jim Acosta has gone viral on Twitter after wearing a T-shirt detailing the 2020 stories he covered while getting vaccination. Mr Acosta, a CNN anchor and chief domestic correspondent.
Jim Acosta has had a long few years covering the Donald Trump White House, and now the CNN reporter is taking aim at some of the racist rhetoric found on another cable news network. The journalist blasted Fox News and two of its anchors, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson, most notably for their reactions to the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota.
That guilty verdict earlier in the week drew relief from many and further calls for justice in the many instances of police brutality, especially against people of color. But on Fox News, various boogeyman arguments about fear of Black Lives Matter protesters and “autonomous zones” dominated the airwaves. Given that Carlson has openly advocated for the wildly racist “white replacement” theories multiple times, it’s no surprise that Acosta found time to comment on the anchor on Saturday.
But first he started with Ingraham, who has had her own history of racist viewpoints and fear-mongering in recent weeks. Acosta played a clip from her show talking about the “big lie” in America, which is apparently that systemic racism isn’t a problem across America in policing, education and housing policy, to name a few.

“Laura Ingraham, her only expertise in big lies is that she tells so many of them,” Acosta said. He then pivoted to Carlson, calling him “Fox’s Chief White Power Correspondent” and ripping his maniacal laugh-filled reaction to the guilty verdict.

Acosta said that his reaction “showed us all what’s under the hood” of his worldview.
“Tucker Carlson’s anger wasn’t about the actions of a police officer who murdered a man, but about the guilty verdict. Or as Carlson, Fox’s chief white power correspondent, described the decision, ‘Please don’t hurt us,’” Acosta said, noting that whether it’s not supposed to be taken seriously it’s extremely harmful rhetoric that is absorbed by viewers and manifests in horrible ways.
“Now you can call all of this an act or schtick. But these big, race-baiting lies have been spreading like a cancer on the far right,” he said.

It’s not all that uncommon for people working on different networks to criticize competitors, but this kind of direct attack is pretty striking from Acosta. He seems to have no problem calling out Ingraham or Carlson, and certainly had some strong words for both on Saturday.
