Law professor Jonathon Turley critical of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta’s behavior during White House press briefings – By OAN Newsroom (OANN) / April 6 2020
Law professor and political commentator Jonathan Turley took to Twitter to express his distaste with CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s recent behavior. This week, he posted a tweet criticizing Acosta for interrupting Dr. Deborah Birx of the White House coronavirus task force during Friday’s press briefing.
Turley said Acosta’s attitude at the press conference was “an example of how CNN’s echo-journalism model is destroying the media’s credibility.” He went on to say Acosta’s questions were “an effort to score points rather than elicit information.”
During Friday’s press conference, Acosta interrupted Birx while she was discussing the World Health Organization’s handling of coronavirus pandemic. Talking over the leaders of our country appears to be a habit Acosta can’t seem to break. Back in 2018, President Trump called Acosta a “rude person” after causing multiple scenes during press conferences with then-Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
“You’re a very rude person…the way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible and the way you treat other people are horrible,” the president told him. “You shouldn’t treat people that way.”
