I stopped watching cable news years ago, so I cannot speak to whether or not Mr. Acosta challenged candidate Drumpf like this. I suspect not.

In the run-up to the election, these so-called journalists kissed Drumpf's pudgy, lily-white (I'm assuming, here) ass seven ways to Sunday. He brought them ratings numbers so they swallowed their journalistic integrity, and gladly put his bluster, his racism, his bullying at the top of the news. And now -- all of a sudden -- Acosta and others have decided to actually do the jobs they've been handsomely paid to do. Good for them, but this situation is due in large part to their Shinola treatment of this massive turd.
