President Trump on Friday blew off CNN’s Jim Acosta, who asked him repeatedly if he could ask a question at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May.
After complaining about “fake news,” Acosta — a favorite target of Trump — asked if he could have a turn.

“Since you attacked CNN can I ask you a question?” Acosta asked. Trump ignored Acosta and picked Fox News.
“Can I ask you a question?” Acosta repeated.
“No, no,” Trump said. “John Roberts got it. CNN’s fake news, I don’t take questions from CNN. CNN is fake news, I don’t take questions from CNN.”
“John Roberts of Fox,” Trump said. “Let’s go to a real network.”
“Well, we’re a real network too, Mr. President,” Acosta said.
