Everyone should watch CNN's Jim Acosta's dismantling of a GOP Rep's evasions over Trump's 1/6 pardons. On the pod, we feature excerpts. @mattgertz.bsky.social and I dig into why Acosta's moment is so rare in the land of 1/6 euphemism that defines much media discourse:

While Substack is emerging as the Newspaper of record, Americans need a new digital channel too. I hope Meidas grows into one.

Cuban and other truth seekers should start a new network of anti fascist resistance. Bring over Acosta, O’Donnell, Maddow, etc. Call it The SAFE Network. Save America From EVIL! Never show the grifter’s face or play his voice. He’s the “First Felon” only.
You speak truth…I’ll follow you wheyou hi.
I have not turned on CNN since Inauguration Day.
If Acosta goes to midnight I prob will. Or I will follow him wherever he ends up

CNN and the rest of the wealth class news networks talks a good game but won’t have any impact.
CNN, MSNBC, etc.
They are mouthpieces for the billionaires. Full stop.
A lot journos in denial about this.
Acosta and the rest are owned.
Go over to MSNBC.

Well done Jim keep going
I don’t watch any MSM since networks have been bought and paid for by the right wing and those purchases were by design to fluff a 34x convicted seditious incompetent traitor and adjudicated rapist.
CNN screwed him over for telling the truth! He is the only one that I watched on that network.
He needs to get the F away from CNN asap ➡️ We need him ❗️

I’d hope you’d get 9am on MSNBC seeing how Morning Joe is tanking since they bent the knee.
Damn I was upset to agree with the sob.
@tiffanydcross.bsky.social
And once again, it shows that the MAGAGOP superpower is shamelessness.
They are utterly and totally incapable of shame. This means that no matter how much Acosta exposes their hypocrisy, they simply do not care—because they know there are no negative repercussions for it.
I hope that you'll amplify and encourage all of us to go to CNN's feedback page and demand that we be rewarded with more, not less, of Jim Acosta. He is precisely what America needs at this moment.

The former Republican NOW MAGA congresspeople who know better are mostly responsible for this mess we are in. Knowing full well voters take cues from them, they have enabled Trump's delusional narratives to come true.
This is to say nothing about whether they have the most qualified anchors - with genuine expertise in debate of the highest caliber - to hold feet to fire?
HE WRITES THE FUCKING LAWS.
