As Twitchy reported Monday, former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran, who claimed to be "not that liberal," announced that journalists aren't supposed to be objective. "It's not our job to be objective, it’s to be fair and accurate," he said. Well, it's not your job anymore. Add that on to former CNN news analyst Chris Cillizza's claim that reporters don't root for a side.
And then there's former CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta. Well, he was the White House correspondent during President Donald Trump's first term, but we guess CNN decided they didn't need someone to showboat during the Biden administration, so they took him off the White House beat and gave him his very own show, which is no longer, we're not sad to say.
Acosta turned up at the progressive Center for American Progress to make it clear he was never objective. First, the words "far-right" have lost all meaning from overuse. As this editor often recommends, go to CNN's website and do a search for "far-left" and see how many results you get.
According to Acosta, the far-right has managed to get to Mom and Pop on the farm and led them completely astray, in part because we have a media that just doesn't work anymore.
You just know that Acosta pictures everything between New York and Los Angeles as farmland run by yokels.
As it turns out, a lot of these folks vote, after being led astray to the far right by new media.
Didn't you hear? As soon as Elon Musk purchased Twitter, it became a hotbed on neo-Nazism. All of the "centrists" like Taylor Lorenz had to flee to Mastodon … no, wait … Bluesky.
Acosta missed the old business model, when Mom and Pop had only cable TV news, and the media was able to shape the narrative. But now the far-right has managed to infiltrate that connection and lead voters astray, sadly.
