Jim Acosta regrets he wasn’t opinionated enough while covering Trump

Jim Acosta is apparently regretting not being more vocally anti-Trump during his time at CNN.

Speaking to MS NOW’s Ali Velshi, Acosta voiced his regret that he was “not opinionated enough” when it came to voicing his dislike of President Donald Trump while employed by CNN. This really shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone who has seen the leftist bent of the mainstream media become more and more radical, but those who believe the media should be unbiased and fact-based are likely going to be offended by his admission.

Watch:

Jim Acosta: “There was a time when I was accused of being too opinionated in covering Donald Trump. I think maybe I wasn’t opinionated enough.”

Yes, that was the big problem with his days at CNN. Just not partisan and opinionated enough. pic.twitter.com/MDmyFv5gza

“There was a time when I was accused of being too opinionated in covering Donald Trump. I think maybe I wasn’t opinionated enough, I think that might be the case,” the ex-CNN host said.

X users had a lot to say about that:

They don’t know how irrelevant they are. 😂

Jim Acosta was an opinion machine NOT a journalist. Nothing would be wrong with voicing opinions if he hadn’t tried to appear to be a mere reporter.

In Jim Acosta’s warped reasoning, too much of a bad thing isn’t quite enough.

Narcissists cannot see they are ill, and cannot be cured anyway. Ignoring them is all they understand. You cannot argue with them, yell at them, reason with them or fix them. All you can do is ignore their ranting and their insanity.
Give yourself (and us) a break!
Stop giving…
