Jim Acosta, the super serious journalist who was so good at his CNN job that he no longer works there, recently warned an audience that the right has figured out a way to ‘infiltrate the heartland.’
Who wants to tell him?
Has Acosta even looked at an American electoral map recently? It’s a little bit of blue on the edges, separated by a sea of nearly solid red and it has been that way for a long time.
The Daily Caller has details:
Former CNN host Jim Acosta claimed on Tuesday that farmers are being “led astray” and voting for “far-right” candidates in U.S. elections.
Acosta stated during a Center For American Progress discussion that the “far-right” has figured out how to “infiltrate the heartland” and get farmers to side with the political right. While name dropping the late conservative host Rush Limbaugh, Acosta argued that many Americans are not getting their information from reliable news.
“The far-right in this country has kind of figured out a way to infiltrate the heartland and to basically to pull Ma and Pa from the farm to their point of view,” Acosta said. “And as it turns out, a lot of these folks vote in these elections and a lot of those folks have been completely led astray. I hate to say it, but they’ve just been completely led astray. And we’ve all just let this happen on our watch with essentially a business model for delivering the news in this country that just does not work anymore.”
Here’s the video:

Notice how he says that the media’s business model doesn’t work anymore, now that he’s no longer part of it? Also make note of the fact that he’s speaking at an event for the Center for American Progress, a far left think tank. He gives the whole game away.
