ACGB is the acronym for Acela Corridor Galaxy Brain, a phrase coined by Christopher Balding, a renowned economist and scholar in Sino-US-Europe study, to refer to a journo or
tankie from
Boston to the DC along the east coast who has never left his town (e.g., Cambridge, the borough of Brooklyn, or Georgetown) but thinks he/she knows enough to run the world such. Acela is the "high speed"
train line with a top speed of around 90 mph for brief stretches.
An ACGB Journo is basically a
propaganda hack that rewrites press releases but the absolute silence on a major event is stunning
even by their hackish standards.
