As I wrote this morning, ABC News and CBS News are in collusion mode in the aftermath of James O’Keefe’s shocking investigative report on how ABC News squashed a blockbuster story about sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein three years ago during Hillary Clinton’s presidential run.

The journalist who broke the news about how ABC discovered it was a former employee who now works for CBS (actually, CBS fired the employee after ABC alerted them about the issue) was Yashar Ali, who wrote about it in a newsletter and on Twitter.

O’Keefe took issue with Ali’s reporting, and called him out on Twitter:

You have all these anon sources inside ABC News, @yashar, and your priority is not to find out who spiked the #EpsteinCoverup story but to use your anon sources to go after who brought it to light. This is why people hate the media. https://t.co/yJyQOVoLHk

Ali did not respond to O’Keefe but actor and unhinged TDS sufferer Tom Arnold did by way of suggesting “everyone” hates O’Keefe:

Don’t kid yourself. @JamesOKeefeIII Everybody hates you. This is the first thing you’ve done that seems legit. Feels good, right? Stop doing fake news. You’d slither naked on broken glass to be as respected as @yashar

O’Keefe fired back with a double whammy (the second of which was especially funny):

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, @TomArnold pic.twitter.com/mQZmSOafNB

Arnold now has the image as his Twitter header, but O’Keefe clearly got the better of him in that exchange.
