Five days after being cut down to size by Stephen Miller, Jim Acosta still engaged in measuring contest

Can we all just forget about Russia now? Because the biggest scandal of the summer in the media’s eyes seems to be the White House press briefing that CNN’s Jim Acosta turned into an impromptu poetry reading-slash-debate with White House senior adviser Stephen Miller. It was last Wednesday when social media decided Miller was aNazi, a white supremacist, and/or Hannibal Lecter for informing Acosta that “The New Colossus,” the poem mounted inside the State of Liberty’spedestal in 1903, does not constitute official U.S. immigration policy. Miller also accused Acosta of showing his “cosmopolitan bias” by assuming that requiring immigrants to speak English would limit the privilege to residents of Australia and Great Britain.

That “cosmopolitan bias” crack must have resonated throughout the White House press corps, as journalists immediately set about doing what it is they do. No, they didn’t correct Acosta on his absurd claim about who speaks English; instead, they investigated Miller, with some insisting “cosmopolitan” was an anti-Semitic dog whistle “an unnerving term key to an attempt by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin to purge the culture of dissident voices.”
