Trump has made a lot of Americans into worse people. He’s brought a lot of them down to his level. We NEED you to help us keep going. Because it's brutal out there, as you know. I'm onboard. THANK YOU for what you do.
Lesley Stahl's interview with Drumpf was an exercise in ass kissing that is proof that 60 Minutes has lowered itself to become nothing more then entertainment.
That’s great news Jim. Because it looks like we are going to need you. We are going to need to reach as many people as possible, especially when the time comes. We The People
if 60 min and CBS caves into trumpf on the interview, they will lose all credibilty. 60 min staff should resign. don't really know how to get their attention, they rea bending the knee, kissing the ring, self censoring. sick.
(full disclosure: I did too, someone helpfully pasted the https://archive.org link, but my point is that limited access to important information is killing access to good journalism - surely there is a better system)
I clicked the link and read the article. I also support independent media where I can. Journalists are experiencing a really hard time right now. Darcy is not shady. He’s trying to earn a living.
oh I see, you're lying. You can't read the full article without paying to unlock it. Thanks for providing additional information that let me understand the situation.
Excellent. The Fourth Estate is under a significant amount of pressure to look away. Trust is earned. Jim Acosta is one who has more than earned trust. Another: #DanRather is #Steady.
I worked for Paramount when Sumner was still in charge - when Brad Grey took over from Sherry Lansing. The ability to pucker up and kiss hard the butt of whoever was one's superior was valued much more than creative ability. Also appears to be the #1 qualification for cabinet gigs.
Glad you decided to take a stand for freedom and truth. Trump is the manifestation of the hate and division that some Americans thrive on. Soon they will know that united we can stand but divided we will fall. God is not pleased with the heart of man nor the path Trump has chosen.
Mr. Acosta, You seem to be able to reach people in power. Shouldn’t they be working their butts off at properly registering the millions of eligible voters who did not vote in the last election to be ready to vote in the 2026 elections.This seems like a no brainer 1st step. What are they doing?
I like to share thoughts and ideas with others about how others can resist and I share @refusefascism.bsky.social widely often. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to fight back against the convicted felon
Oh, I see I'm not the only one trying to tell you about Substack's Nazi problem. And yet still, Substack. I'll keep watching and hoping you switch to Buttondown, Ghost, etc. so I can sign up.
Thank you for your service before & next, in truth telling. “I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear.” Important life baselines to remember.
@jimacosta.bsky.social Can you explain the different levels of your substack subscription? For example do founding members get a monthly or quarterly zoom call gathering?
👉🎯IMPORTANT! Without federal employment or security clearance, Musk & his team were handed our Social Security numbers, tax data, Medicare info, and bank details by the Treasury Dept, this is a major privacy violation.
Going to see you on Substack. Wanted to comment on X but I get why you don't allow it there!
PS: Any chance you can get into a presser at the WH? Not to interview Baghdad Barbie, but for The Felon; I would love to see him get challenged with truth on occasion.
Happy to be a subscriber. Your words upon leaving CNN have resonated with me, more than any others. Nothing is more simple than the TRUTH and FEARLESSNESS. Looking forward to more wisdom and truth.
Joined on Monday. If I have to pay for credible news, so be it. $8/month is less than what I used to pay for the daily paper...Thank you for being a credible, journalistic source through this regime!
We rely on independent journalism and you have a voice. You are respected and loved.
I trust you will have a pivotal role in disseminating the Truth, Facts and Action we need to take to undermine, stop this avalanche of far right madness.
Done. Also deleted all the CNN apps from all my devices. Ted Turner must be turning over in his grave because of what CNN has become. Certainly not a legitimate news source anymore
It appears that every news media platform (except MSNBC) has folded to an INDECENT man/boy that offers nothing but hate and revenge. May as well just listen to Sinclair radio or Fox (not) news. What a bunch of cheap folds and of course it has to do with GREED. I've become much more selective of...
I’m not certain you’re aware that Substack came out in support of Elon Musk. It is part of a larger pattern of support for Nazi’s. Imani Gandy has been raising awareness. I highly encourage you to migrate to a different platform. Thank you!
I'm sure you've got a lot to think about, but I'd like to see you do an interview with @briantylercohen.bsky.social . He does longer form interviews and I feel like he's got the right idea about the future of journalism
Shari Redstone doesn't need the money. I hope she remembers our Constitution and will do the right thing. So far, it's been the women who've shown the most backbone and I hope she has a spine.
I agree but I may be a broad brush. I realized after sending that question, the Paramount (owners of CBS/60 minutes) is the subject of a merger therefore shoring up any lawsuits is needed. Bottom line it’s about $
Mr. Acosta, WE ARE IN A CONTITUTIONAL CRISIS, but the Media, Dems & Real Republicans are deep in the minutia of all the different areas of insanity generated by Trump & company and appear blind to the dismantling of our democracy and clearly on the road to becoming another Russia. WAKE UP FOLKS!
This makes me so sad I remember when 60 Minutes was the epitome of journalism. When MSM had integrity,and reporters didn't allow people to blatantly lie to their faces..sigh

The description of these particular individuals is disturbing.
These are 'who' are now accessing ALL sensitive data.
Did they even pass background checks? Does ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL have this level of access?

👉🎯DOGE has been handed full access to the nation’s wallet by newly-confirmed Department of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
This system pays out Social Security and Medicare benefits, federal salaries, tax refunds, among many other crucial systems.
