“The timing of the offer has also sparked early backlash within CNN’s hallways …. At a time when more corporations and media organizations seem eager to court Trump’s favor, moving Acosta to a previously unfilled shift might be viewed as a sort of kowtow.”
Sort of???!!!
I remember when Acosta was banned from the WH briefing room…..he has consistently stood up to Trump. One of the few who still does
CNN is a joke. No Acosta, no CNN.
I would be furious. I don’t watch television in the middle of the night and I always watch Jim in the morning. He is always spot on.
This is a big time Trump suck up by CNN. Always trusted CNN but having major doubts now. Ted Turner's vision for CNN has been betrayed by the oligarchs now in control of his "baby."
Ya think?
Absolutely! He is a great reporter-shame on CNN Will watch pbs news now!
Why would anyone want to move to a loser like CNN?
Wow, but this is not needed right now. Does CNN want to continue as a news source? Really? 'Cause this ain't how it's done, son.
It's truly SICKENING to see the MEDIA & RICH people BOWING down to the MOST CORRUPT, IMMORAL, EVIL, APPALLING man in America in "hopes" he'll be nice them! It's DESPICABLE & it SHOWS what a bunch of COWARDS they are! I hope they ALL sink into the ABYSS!😠
100%. I don't understand how they can be scared of him. Do your jobs and call him on his bullshit, which shouldn't be hard, it comes out every time he opens his mouth.
Because they're COWARDS!
It's obvious. "Might be viewed ... " is an odd way to state this
Leave now Jim.
Big mistake if they do silencing truth but no problem with Jennings!
12-2AM-It’s when people actually turn on the news, both East, West, overseas, at airports, etc
The Media is Controlled by Heritage Foundation. 40 Years of Consolidation and Acquisition by Oligarchy following the Powell Manifesto.
Jim Acosta is too good for CNN. Have them go to MSNBC or news nation, fuck CNN.
CNN sucks, are you serious, they have Ambien Philip on and she’s always catering to Republicans, Kaitlan, Collins from Alabama, well, anyway fuck that station
More Jennings!
CNN sold out. The idiot Republican shill for Trump is the worst.
This would be a big mistake for CNN. CNN should report the news and not worry about law suits. That's why they have a legal team.
I’ve tuned out CNN since the election when they pushed blowhard MAGA shill Scott Jennings to the front of discussions. Jim Acosta is being duly punished for his excellent work as a true journalist.
so we can only trust *some* of the msnbc reporters. for now.
Wow. Wolf Blitzer. I remember all the way back to when he was covering the Spanish American War. He was a cheerleader, of course. He could legitimately pass on before the end of the Neilson cycle
Must be worried what he might say to trumpkin huh. He has pissed off the orange blob several times. Or is it because trumpkin despises more than most reporters lol. The cable media are running scared. At a time we need a very strong independent press here they are caving 🙄
It seems to me that this is what is really called kowtowing.
Another dumb move by the top execs @ MS•CNN I am ashamed for them .
Yeah. The problem is with how people will view it.
Perhaps it's time to share this. #JimAcosta has been consistent. Never waivered. Polite. Direct. Asking tough questions. Wonder how long this clip will remain accessible? From Nov 7, 2018 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdFe...
Ok, maybe wavered, but you get the idea.
That was fun!!!!!!
Backlash? Oh, yeah.
Hum 😡
John Malone. All ya need to know.
Or maybe CNN is looking for West Coast viewers. Lol.
Moving a reporter to a midnight - 2am show is not an opportunity, folks & we all know it. It’s hiding him away from Trump for fear he might actually offer factual reporting. So goes America willingly down the authoritarian path.
Except that for Trump, the middle of the night is "prime viewing time".
Have not watched CNN for 5 years. Do not miss it.
Maybe… definite.. CNN KNEE-ds pads
CNN needs to grow a pair!!
I’m continually amazed that these corporate media companies move journalists like Acosta aside, kiss Trump’s ass and chase right-wing audiences to solve their declining profits - oblivious to the fact that MAGA voters hate their guts. They deserve to fail.
They must expect him to quit, right?
Exactly why I went cold turkey on cnn. Love Acosta too.
Would love to see the internal communications among the suits at CNN regarding this move. IMO he's the best anchor on the network. This has the stench of MAGA, and the stain of it is spreading. Perhaps if he ....ah, what's the use! Corporate media is a huge problem.
Owned by John Malone. Mega trump supporter and donor. CNN lost it’s way under his far right leadership.
Agree 👍
And by "might be," they mean something short of "damn straight that's CNN on its knees"?
I happen to like his work and I don't watch CNN. He should go out on his own. He's a good voice, smart and fair. I would enjoy hearing from him on another platform.
As a west coast viewer, this is about the only thing that could potentially get me to turn on CNN again.
If the purpose of this is so that Doritos Don won’t have to see him on TV, moving him to midnight isn’t going to help. The Orange Moron is up till 3am, tweeting about his lastest grievance! Maybe they should move him to 9am when the tyrant-wanna-be is still asleep in his crib.
Ya think? All my CNN apps were deleted and uninstalled the minute I read about Acosta. It was the last straw for me.
I consider his move, if taken, to be a demotion. And further weakening of hard news at CNN. Maybe this is to keep the Dear Leader happy.
Kowtowing to Trump probably reason why they keep lying, combative Scott Jennings. He will say anything to back up Trump. Or say anything against Biden.
Another BRILLIANT cnn management choice!
I quit watching main stream media after the election. My life is infinitely better without it. This is why. Eventually they will wake up or they won’t. Meanwhile the rest of us are moving on.
He is one of the few I trust.
"Might be viewed as a kowtow"??? What other way can a reasonable person view it?
Been a CNN junkie since its inception. It was the background noise of my life until the last few years. Can’t abide Scott Jennings. Can’t abide the incessant harping on one issue when there’s so much news to be told. Jim Acosta is a speak truth to power man. Hope he finds a place that deserves him.
Yes, the incessant harping on one issue finally killed my CNN watching. Stopped my all-day watching of them the day after the June debate. Tried MSNBC, but stopped all news after the election. Jim Acosta is great, and a refreshing difference to the monotonous, repetitive noise.
Scott Jennings is not. Serious person imo. However he did say something funny once, he said something about Trump just shit the bed, the question is whether he will roll around in it or change the sheets. Made me laugh.
Didn't Hitler die. Why does this feel like Germany in 1939. When will Democrats start disappearing or jumping off balconies. Trump really can shoot someone and maga will say they read about it or I haven't heard that or I m not aware of this. These are dark times.
Trump did kill someone. The guy who got in the way of the assassin’s bullet for the fake attempt
So right.
"Might be" is the operative phrase. It clearly is a kowtow. The world is falling down around us and the fourth estate has crumbled like all the other guardrails.
Acosta can deal with the gate and trumps fury .. I guess CNN can’t!
Might be?
'a sort of'??
Seriously The absurdity was supposed to start 1/20
“might be seen” is doing a crapload of work, here.
Do ppl still watch @CNN?
Haven’t watched @cnn since October. They keep at they’re going to be sitting right here next to me on this couch.
Ok, make them eat your smoke. Become like Rachel Maddow and watch them knee benders squirm.
He's the last good one standing and the only one I had been able to watch
I will stop watching CNN Not for Mr. ACOSTA, because they have decided to let trump jam one up their ass.
No point to having CNN if they’re not going to stand up too lies and corrupt regimes…
Which they haven’t consistently for quite some time
Indeed.
It was my impression that they sane-washed him during the election cycle…
Definitely. They all did. Even some on MSNBC didn’t call out the truth firmly enough
Maybe they figured his presidency would be good for ratings and thus profits… in any case, it’s unfortunate.
Very much so. For profit media. It is ALL about ratings while many anchors have no concern for ethics.
That sucks.
Jim Acosta is a great man.
CNN is already dead to me.....they have propped up trump at every turn.... making him look legitimate more than the criminal that he is.
Does CNN care IF they are courting Trump’s favor? CNN executives have to know the cost of lowering their standards in order to meet Trump’s approval.
DO NOT DO IT @jimacosta.bsky.social
“Might be”? Do they mean “might be” in the sense of If I light this match and hold it against this pile of shredded paper, there “might be” a fire?
Excellent analogy.
Why is still there? MSNBC could use a good host
Another good host.
Speaking of holy kowtows... bsky.app/profile/davi...
I think Acosta would fit well with Public Broadcasting….
Umm how about Jim and Wolf exchange slots? Umm how about Wolf retires?? If Acosta goes to midnight I WILL QUIT CNN Period
A lot of us left in November
Is this why we see so much of Scott Jennings and now more of O’Leary?
George! Get with mark cuban and buy a media company! You must know some rich people who could band together and rise to the occasion! It’s a perfect time to snap up all these great journalists and put them on the air/airwaves!
Why are all these media companies afraid of trump? I don’t understand it. Zuckerberg, Bezos, Tim Cook, etc are all extremely wealthy. What are they afraid of?
They want the fake yes man tough guys like Jessie Watters not someone who stands up for himself.
Acosta is the best they have!! Wake up spineless management! CNN bowing to trump makes me sick🤮🤮
I don't watch them anymore.
For a party that believes they are bringing back "masculinity", most of them have no balls when it comes to Cheeto Jesus..thank you, George for standing up to your values...
It looks like CNN is genuflecting to the Fourth Reich and kissing Trump's tiny little 🍄. They aren't news, CNN is nothing but fascist propaganda.
No CNN for me. They screwed a while back and a head rolled. They are at it again. Buh-bye CNN.
I don't watch him cause I don't watch #CNN but he's one of the few with balls
It’s a badge of honor.
Acosta could join the Contrarian's,
CNN has gone down the Shitter. I unfollowed them on here
Surely Acosta has a contract that addresses such moves, right?
Haven’t watched CNN in a while now. Today I removed their app.
@jimacosta.bsky.social is one of the best! He should raise his middle finger and walk out! Shit, America needs a new network...they've all gone fox lite!!!
In recent years, Trump has kept the CNN director's balls in a glass on his desk. Pathetic! CNN! Stop treating Trump like god and instead treat him like the convicted felon he is.
He's the best reporter! He knows how to poke that bear!
Legacy media is dead. Acosta should just quit and start a podcast.
I wish I could watch cnn less than never
🚨
Acosta is one of the very few CNN ppl I’d watch- or trust
People still watch CNN?
We have sleep walked into '1984' and there is nothing we can do about it. Media control is absolute. Voices such as yours are as a leaf in a wind and those of us who resist this new, American dystopia will find our efforts come to nothing. Yet, we persist.
He’s the only one left on CNN worth watching. This is beyond reprehensible.
No shit All media will fall in line Look at morning joe Well in line now Your visits will be cut in Trumpmerica Or jail. Guess that's all our choices now
Well we will rely on people like you to keep the heat on Trump thanks
Jim, you need to leave entertainment media to group with like minds.
I smell bull💩!
Do CNN's knees hurt? Or maybe their jaw? Is that Cheeto dust on their chin?
"A sort of kowtow." That's funny!
I love Jim. He should leave CNN and go elsewhere.
I’m not surprised, they’re kissing his A$$.
@jimacosta.bsky.social needs to leave @cnn.com and do good truthful journalism, not cave to a network that supports an oligarchy.
May be viewed?????
Good.
Oh so CNN employees just figured out by normalizing a wanna be dictator for years , entertaining MAGA trolls like Jennings and others could come back to haunt them. That was on my bingo card.
It is
Cnn should face some backlash but the question is why doesn't trump???
Well~f*kk them. I have been boycotting them for quite a while EXCEPT for @jimacosta.bsky.social . He is the only show I watch from them~I will DVR it so if I am not awake I can still watch~I can't believe how low they have sunk~as much credibility as FOX, OANN, NEWSFLASH or WTF it is
CNN and WaPo are both garbage organizations, obeying in advance.
Midnight -2 am? It's called graveyard for a reason.
Why are they appeasing Trump? He has low poll numbers.
Not watching CNN. WTH??
Acosta is too good for CNN.
Isn’t Trump usually awake at that time? Maybe Acosta can use the time to needle and poke Trump while rest of us sleep.
Screw CNN. Give us Jim Acosta anywhere during prime time. Overnight is an insult to a fine dedicated newsman.
I don’t watch Blitzer Brown or Hunt, I watch Acosta only on that channel. This is a disgrace.
I could see a scenario where an adversary attacks us with a deadly virus. Trump/RFK don't search for a vaccine and won't except a vaccine from another country. And no masks or social distancing. Total chaos. Under ground vaccines in order to get one. Not free $$$ Killing many more than Covid did.
Absolutely ridiculous, he was the only I liked to watch because he has never backed down. Maybe he can replace a couple over on MSNBC, although they are “bowing” as well. I wish Jim all the best. Can’t say Americans weren’t warned, it’s going to be bad. What happened to the 14th sec 3?
@jimacosta.bsky.social is the ONLY REPORTER. I routinely put on CNN since the election but won’t anymore if they do this.
That I trust.
He needs to quit.
We need a full scale journalistic revolt against the corporate media…which is becoming state media more and more every day.
These networks won't be happy until no one is watching
Whaaaaaat!!!!! CNN is making it really, really hard to like them....they already put that Jennings irritant in primetime. 🤮
Jennings is a total A-hole. He couldn’t say one gracious word about Biden. Too afraid of hurting Trumpy’s feelings. I think he still hopes he will get a WH job.
It seems bad enough that this network allows rancid sarcastic grinning propagandists Urban & Jennings, and in fact actually pay them. Now mismanagement will screw with the last honest journalist in staff. I am done with them, and hope Acosta surfaces at MSNBC soon.
CNN is as dead as the Washington Post, ABC News, LA Times, Morning Joe, etc. Ghost them all . . . unless you think Scott Jennings is not a smarmy traitor.
CNN, the new Fox.
I haven't watched CNN since Nov. 5 and I feel fine.
It would seem that all network executives are pretty spineless people.
Jim Acosta should be in prime time. He has credibility and is a straight shooter. Another media company bites the dust. CNN has been sinking the past 18 mos. I don't watch often but when I do, I can't turn the channel fast enough whenever I see Scott Jennings. He is dreadful!
Oh, I just loved him when he actually sparred with Trump. It was a sight to behold!
I was about to say the same thing!
People still watch CNN? Acosta can do better then anyway.
Moving Acosta to a position to question Trump works for me……Trump is irritated by Acosta
"...the offer..." That's euphemism gold, right there.
I thought they were getting weaker everyday leading up to the election. Sane washing that POS every chance or completely ignoring his remarks or mic fellatio stunts
I won’t watch CNN any more.
I have already cut my time watching CNN. I feel it's unwise to move Acosta. He does some good reporting. Nothing like ruining a good thing.
CNN: Capitulate & Normalize Narcissists
"Comrade News Network" is what I've started calling them. Wouldn't surprise me one fuq'n bit if they gave that Jennings jackass that time slot.
It should! And it is!
Jim should team up with @mcuban.bsky.social and start their own network!
Yes!!!⬆️
Cable news is a dying business. Only old farts regardless of people bend watch it. Democrats need to flood the market with podcasts.
I’d watch that!
Scott Jennings got his own show yet or naw? I want to know just how screwed CNN is.
He should quit in protest, If journalists from te WaPo can do it, why can't he?
F that I QUIT
Sort of?
MSNBC, Acosta would be a great replacement for Morning Joe
They’ve been kowtowing for quite awhile.
😡😡
Looking forward to the Backlash!
I canceled CNN 3 yrs ago, looks like a smart decision.
Fuck CNN.
It is kowtowing. I have watched CNN for years. Right now I am looking at cancelling. Trump doesn't like Jim. All the more to keep him where he is. Trump doesn't like it when someone is more popular than him.
Jim Acosta is one of the few journalists who have stood up to Trump. Could this be the reason CNN wants to move him there?!? 🤔
We'll follow @jimacosta.bsky.social wherever he goes,this is the guy who had the most brutal crap from tfg on live tv over a decade. We're stoked @donlemonofficial.bsky.social left and went Rouge, Don unleashed is f awesome!! #LemonNation #Lemonheads.
Acosta is being promoted out the door.
The GLARING truth is this: Trump hates Acosta because Jim always held Trump's feet to the fire. Trump wants payback, and CNN was told to oblige him. Welcome to authoritarianism... AND an oligarchy. Democracy ends on Monday.
Yup. Everyone thinking that.
this is what we call "constructive dismissal". He needs to get a lawyer after them asap. He is now entitled to a huge severance packaege
@CNN Feckless.
People still watch CNN? If you continue to support legacy media that is sane washing the incoming administration, then you are sane washing them.
Exactly. CNN sells out its soul
I stopped watching because of Scott Jennings. Can’t stand his lies.
Scott Jennings is a hypothetical ass licking piece of shit. He lies constantly mostly about being a patriot.
#CNN is dead to me.
Backlash!? CNN and the rest of the post-sanity, post-reality lying, fascist, gaslighting corporate media have made themselves irrelevant.
This crap is getting ridiculous. Shutting down the free press right in front of our eyes!
CNN is worthless now
Do us a favour CNN and just shut up and go back to what made you the news!
Acosta got under Donnie Kumquats orange leather skin like no other
I would like to see Jim Acosta on the PBS NewsHour. Other than catching Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC on occasion, I don’t watch much mainstream news. Rachel Maddow is good, but her delivery gets verbose and irritating.
The Scott Jennings-ization of CNN is nearly complete
I know and it’s disgusting. All he does is spew lies on behalf of MAGA and the Republican Party.
They should put him in prime time , he deserves it !
Sounds like it. Shame
Viewers turning off CNN has had an affect. Downsizing and moving more to digital, but still sucking up to C. F. Trump.
This "compliance in advance" by the media, and billionaire class is exactly what empowered the third Reich in its early days. #IWillNotComply
