President-elect Donald Trump shut down CNNâs Jim Acosta at his much-anticipated news conference on January 11. Trump slammed the news organization for being terrible.
âYou are fake news,â Trump said to Acosta after the reporter kept on interrupting the president-elect for a question following the remark.
âMr. President-elect, that is not appropriate,â said Acosta.
Well, after eight years of Fox News bashing from the Left and the Obama White House, the tables have turnedâand host Neil Cavuto seems to be enjoying CNN feeling the cold shoulder from the incoming Trump White House:
âWhat is it like not to be liked?â Cavuto said of CNN. âNot really fun, is it?â he added. He then says how CNN just canât stand not being with the in-crowd anymore, while adding that it isnât fun having their credibility challenged, or having the guy [the president] youâre covering thinking youâre the âpiece of work."
Cavuto continued, saying, âit bugs you when someone questions whether youâre fair, doesnât it? Or cuts you to your journalistic core, doesnât it. It matters now when itâs about you, doesnât it?â
âPresidential pile-ons matter when youâre the subjectânot so much, actually, scratch thatânot at all when letâs say Fox is the subject,â he added.
Yet, he did offer CNN some defense noting that theyâre better than Buzzfeed, though he did not hide his enjoyment from seeing CNN getting kicked in the teeth by Trump.
Youâre experiencing what we have been living. Now, youâre the ones royallyâŚFoxed. And the irony is I feel your pain. You never came to our defense, so allow me to come to yours: youâre better than Buzzfeed. But the buzz is youâre getting fed to the wolves. Isnât it obnoxious and unfair how some celebrate your plight kind of feels like the way you celebrated ours, doesnât it? They say payback is a bitch. If only you would take a moment to rewind the tape and see the shoe is on the other foot, or am I confusing it with the one now kicking you in the ass? You see itâs hard to tell from where I sit. Back then, your silence was deafening. Very different now, isnât it? And I suspect, just suspect, now much fun, is it?

Yeah, I giggled. Karma is a bitch, ain't it?
