Matt Dornic, Vice President of Communications and Digital Partnerships at CNN, described Chris Wallaces network Fox News as state TV while standing up for his colleague Jim Acosta who Wallace criticized today for his aggressive questioning of President Donald Trump at todays White House presser.
Hey Chris, at least @Acosta doesnt work for state TV. Must be hard to sleep at night, Dornic tweeted this afternoon but he wasnt done just yet: Also, curious, I cant find your comments about how shameful it was when your colleagues campaigned for @realDonaldTrump the other night.
While Wallace noted that most of the people there were serious reporters asking serious questions, he thought that Acosta embarrassed himself today.
Dornic has also attacked Fox News in the past regarding this issue.

Chris Wallace Tears Into CNNs Jim Acosta Over Shameful Clash With Trump: He Embarrassed Himself
by Ken Meyer | Nov 7th, 2018, 1:44 pm
Fox News Chris Wallace was not impressed with the sparring match between CNNs Jim Acosta and President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday.
Wallace joined Harris Faulkner to give his reaction to Trumps press conference on the midterm elections though the conversation quickly focused on Trumps shouting match with Acosta and other members of the media. Wallace called it an extraordinary performance on Trumps part. But as for Acosta, I thought [his] behavior was shameful.
Faulkner leapt on that by swiping at Acosta for his refusal to let go of his microphone when a White House staffer tried to take it away from him. Wallace cycled through several of the most interesting other highlights from the presser, though the chat inevitably made its way back to Acosta.
Most of the people there were serious reporters asking serious questions, Wallace said, But Jim Acosta, I thought embarrassed himself today.
