Jim Acosta

Continuing what’s become a staple of our year-end packages, NewsBusters used our Google Analytics to compile our ten most-read stories from 2021, which saw four writers from our News Analysis Division seeing stories crack the top ten along with one from MRC Culture and two from MRC’s Free Speech America.

On Tuesday night it was announced that former Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid passed away at age eighty-two. Although even the passing of one of their beloved party leaders didn’t stop CNN and MSNBC from ghoulishly exploiting his death to push for repealing the Senate filibuster.

It’s a stiff competition to beat Brian Stelter for the most obnoxious CNN journalist, but Jim Acosta showed he is always up to the task this past Saturday.

Early Saturday night, CNN and boss Jeff Zucker fired long time CNN host Chris Cuomo “effective immediately” following a year-plus of ethics-free behavior from both parties as Cuomo worked with and gave softball interviews to his brother, scandal-ridden former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY).

On Sunday afternoon's CNN Newsroom, anchor Jim Acosta and Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter decried Congressman Jim Banks as Twitter blocked his congressional Twitter account for proclaiming trans woman Biden appointee Rachel Levine was a "man." This was a "game," Stelter said, and a "political stunt."

In a piece posted on Thursday evening, Washington Post media reporter Erik Wemple called out CNN for the liberal news network's refusal to admit that they misinformed viewers in claiming that podcast host Joe Rogan used "horse dewormer" to treat his COVID infection.

Appearing on Newsmax’s Spicer & Co. Monday evening, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell called out leftist CNN anchor Jim Acosta for smearing former President Trump as “twisted and evil” figure with “darkness that fills his soul.” In response to that unhinged rhetoric, Bozell explained that Acosta “is just a hound dog for self-aggrandizement.”

In one of the least shocking developments to be published on NewsBusters, CNN carnival barker Jim Acosta’s tenure as late weekend afternoon CNN Newsroom host has gone less than swimmingly as, since he took over April 3, the timeslot has lost almost half its viewership. Nielsen Media Research measured the three months prior to Acosta taking over (December 28, 2020 to March 28, 2021) versus…

CNN weekend anchor Jim Acosta dropped more bombs on Saturday, calling Tucker Carlson a "human manure spreader" and Xeroxing Joy Reid's talk of an "American Taliban" in Texas. 

Hack journalist Jim Acosta couldn’t keep up as his Republican guest schooled him on his own show, Sunday, over President Biden’s Afghanistan debacle. Acosta repeatedly tried to blame President Trump for the Taliban takeover, but Issa exposed the journalist’s utter hypocrisy.

The New York Times is raging at Fox News over an interview their reporter Annie Karni gave to CNN's Jim Acosta on Saturday night. Karni summarized the Obama view at the end of the segment that Team Obama (or Democrats in general) felt Obama's hundreds of birthday well-wishers were a "sophisticated, vaccinated crowd." In other words, only Trump fans are "super spreaders" when they…

CNN's Jim Acosta has gone from yelling at President Trump to the wasteland of late afternoons on the weekends. To grab liberal attention and praise on Saturday's CNN Newsroom, Acosta even went so far as to suggest that new COVID variants be named after Republican officials, like "the DeSantis variant," after the governor of Florida.

The Washington Post has "honored" Fox White House reporter Peter Doocy by highlighting his exchanges with Biden press secretary Jen Psaki in the briefing room. Doocy gets "fact checked" by media reporter Paul Farhi...but in 2018, Farhi and the Post didn't check on CNN's Jim Acosta as he told them he was all about the facts, not about damaging Trump.

It’s no secret the left-wing media abruptly lose interest in covering presidential gaffes when Democrats take the White House. Well, they’re doing it again: over the past few months liberal cable and broadcast news networks have utterly ignored a slew of mistakes and fumbles by President Biden.
