Jim Acosta Continues Dousing Burning CNN in Glitter-Infused Kerosene

Jim Acosta declared that Trump had spread "fake news" in claiming that a previous media claim that 17 intelligence agencies concluded that Russia interfered in the election was actually only "three or four" agencies.

JIM ACOSTA, CNN: The other thing that was fake news coming from President Trump is he said, "Well, I keep hearing it is 17 intelligence agencies who said Russia interfered in the election. I thnk it is only three or four." Where does that number come from? Where does this three or four number come from. My suspicion, Chris and Poppy, is that if we go to the administration, and ask them for this question, I'm not sure we're going to get an answer, and if we do, it will be off camera.

The New York Times and the AP both recently corrected their old #FakeNews claim of "17 agencies" to note it was only three, plus that retard Clapper in the ODNI.

Clapper himself confirmed the original NYT claim about "17 agencies" was false.

This is just embarrassing.

Isn't this guy's expertise, to the extent he has one (spoiler: he hasn't), supposed to be current events and recent reports?

It's not a shame to not know something. But it is a shame for someone to deny that anyone could know something he doesn't. The latter person is incapable of learning, because he stupidly believes he already knows all that's worth knowing.

And of course this is deep, deep bias as well: At CNN, Trump is wrong, because Trump must be wrong.

The facts don't matter; they have their Narrative.
