So far Trump Part 2 is as big a clusterfuck as Trump Part 1 was. Keep calling them out, Jim, I and so many others will follow you wherever you go in the world of media. As for CNN, no thanks, not interested, good luck Mark Thompson trying to ape Fox News.
Just subscribed!
Happy for you.
You were the only reason I used to watch @cnn.com but it became evident over the past few yrs or more that they sold out to the RW noise too.
Looking forward to your articles and wishing you great success.
Time to give 47 a run for his $.
I have mad respect for you, Sir! It was a tremendously brave move for you to leave CNN. I stopped watching a while ago because CNN was not pushing back on Trump, but my family still watched. Today they have agreed to stop watching! We are with you.
I’m sure Trump wanted you gone from CNN and they capitulated ever since they bowed down to him. Congratulations - you’re going to do a lot more away from CNN than you could if you were there. @cnn.com has lost credibility anyway. You are much better off.
I'm really sorry you're leaving although I haven't watched cable news since 2018 but I do see clips of you here and there and you are the closest thing to Walter Cronkite Chet Huntley and David Brinkley that there is in the 21st century.
I did not know you were Cuban-American! My grandfather was Cuban, and my mom was raised in Cuba, under Batista. She warned me about tyrants, too. Thank you for standing up for the truth and not bending a knee. The truth—and freedom—must prevail.
I haven’t been watching cable news for decades, but I respect this move and admire your integrity. We need to start a movement and organize. These types of actions can galvanize solidarity, if enough people do it.
Stay in the public eye, and keep challenging these fascists! (And stay away from Megyn Kelly and her brand of sniper-like potshots at celebrities, making her look like a has-been, hack! LOL!) Yes, Meidas Touch if they can afford to collaborate with you!
What an eloquent sign-off after at 18 years at CNN, Jim! So glad you didn't dilly dally or compromise yourself! CNN is but a shadow of its former self now, and everyone (and social media) is pandering to Mango Mussolini now, because 4 years is too long to be left out in the cold! Help push back!
You have our backs, now we have yours. Wherever you go to deliver the news, we will follow. Except Fox. I mean that's like a given. Seriously though Jim, we the resisters, we are proud of you 👏
Thank you for having the guts to choose ethics and integrity over profits and ratings. The world has too many sycophants and suck-ups already -- we need real journalists. I have subscribed to your Substack. Let's move forward in truth!
Would love you to have a show on MSNBC those reporters are my factual go to in these days of so much misinformation. God bless you keep us posted on your journey.❤️
Bring on the T-shirt 😁
Frump boy would not know what truth is. He is certainly a vile narcissistic tyrant.
I do hope you will be back on our screens soon.
😁
I’ve watched and believed in you as an advocate for truth for many years, Jim. Hopeful that this transition leads to bigger and better for you. Keep the good journalism coming!
Well done, Jim. As one of the last real journalists on tv, you've been appreciated for some time. And, I must say, you went out in style instead of permitting yourself to be dragged behind the wagon. Thanks so much for your tough questions and great reporting over the years!
I was kind of hoping that you would take the opportunity to kick Scott Jennings square and full in the nutsack before you left. No worries though. Somebody will get around to it eventually. I can picture it now.
After 35 years in journalism I've seen some acts of true heroism, it's bittersweet to see one from one of our own. Well done. GenX saw that and applauded as we dabbed our eyes.
Can someone please ask Trump why the enact tariffs when he was the one that negotiated the last trade agreement with Mexico and Canada? I was told he made the best deals. If it’s so good, why f it up?
Now find some backers and go join Rachel and Lawrence to buy MSNBC and take it wide so we can get it in Europe. Fox us everywhere, neutraluze them with truth!
Dear brave wonderful man,
I'm not sure you're aware how closely Substack is associated with Nazis/the far right. I do not know the truth of it, but for many who side with you the feel they cannot in good conscience give $ to Substack, so perhaps ask your followers for alternatives?
Thank you for being you & staying true to yourself & us! The rest of them are sellouts beyond disgusting. At a critical time where we need truth speakers they want to muzzle you, CNN is dead to me & Im sure many others
Don't make yourself scarce. I saw what happened to Brian Stelter and Mehdi Hasan who were very forthright as you are. I guess the truth hurts? I am very disappointed in CNN (and MSNBC for the pair traipsing down to Mar A Lago). My best to you for your continued truthfulness.
Just learned you left CNN! Good for you! We are losing our democracy one day at a time. Please encourage folks you know to contact their Congresspeople to impeach him NOW! It's hard to sleep at night with this buffoon in our White House!
I know this is a longshot Jim... but consider a stint for CBC News in Canada. It's the straight-shooter approach you seem to long for, and what you're best at. Good luck in any choice you make, sir.

THANK YOU Mr. Acosta for taking a stand and fighting for what you believe in. You are truly appreciated and know that your journey does not end here. We will be with you 💪🏼
Thank you for your courage.
This song names your colleagues at MSNBC for their own LACK of courage, and pokes fun that those who "bend the knee".
..might help folks cope with the insanity.
Thanks for standing up. https://ericfolkerth.bandcamp.com/track/emperor-of-mickey-ds
We're with you Jim! Thank you for your closing words on @cnn.com we are paying attention and if that network takes the scared route, they are canceled too! #Thisisnotagame #Holdontothetruth
Sir, I am Dutch and live in the Netherlands. I have the utmost respect for you and your decision to leave CNN. These are dark times in America under that criminal wannabe dictator Trump and it has only just started. I hope America will stand up against Trump and his accomplices!
Planning on it!! 😏🫡 (That's a normal salute btw, not Elon fucking Nazi muskrats salute. They're about to be the most unpopular guys in America) we are the resistance but we gotta start showing that resistance the way Jim did--actions!!!
Thank you for your courage, dedication to the truth and for being YOU!
Wish we could say the same for most journalists and media giants, but sadly we cannot! Keep up with the truth, and may God bless you! 💙👏🏻🙏
I will watch you wherever you broadcast. You were the last remaining honest journalist on CNN. I look forward to watching your show again wherever it is!
Ever heard the saying keep your friends close and enemies closer?
Truer words have never been spoken. I’ve always kept my enemies closer. I don’t do surprise attacks
Ahhh I see why, because you said you are not reading anything on substack. I just suggested keeping your enemies closer. Not a dig to you!
We did that after Sandy Hook. It worked well for intel on the scum we were dealing with in town
Thank you for standing up for truth against Trump and his mob. (Someday, I hope you'll be on MSNBC.) But, in the meantime, thank you for your writing here.
There will be at least 3 special congressional elections to elect members of congress .....Trump appointed 3 GOP congresspersons to his administration.
Dems must win all 3......Then Dems would control Congress, and the purse.
I'll follow you everywhere! Sorry to see you're leaving CNN, but it's great that you're still using your voice and speaking out against the bullshit! 💪
Yup. They must be telling their anchors to obscure the truth or Donald Trump must be threatening them directly. That's my guess. I'm glad Jim isn't going to take any gut from those swine!
Thank you for hanging in there. Your show is the only CNN show I could tolerate over the last two years. You have always been willing to speak truth to power, and you have never both-sidesed any issue.
The equilibrium among economic power, state power (social needs, SS, free press, health, educ, science), & political power have been broken. Economic power is dominating the others.
Communism destroyed economic power & failed
W countries are destroying state power & are failing
Jim Acosta's exit from CNN is so hugely positive & significantly defining to the world of American journalism right now. It shows that Jim is one of the few mainstream media journalists to put his own values & integrity first. Jim's loyalty to "company" is a nonstarter, & that is rare today. Bravo!
You’re the best Jim Acosta. I hope @nbcnews.com or @msnbc.com snaps you up and you’ll be on my airwaves again soon. In the meantime, see you on Substack.
Much respect to you Mr. Acosta. I have always enjoyed having you give us the truth. I wish you the best in your new projects. Remember - no matter what Trump may say, you already made it, made a huge impact, and are a great success. I hope you are able to take a much deserved break.

@cnn.com has taken the wrong path.
Journalism dies under media control from a tyrant dictator and his regime.
Frump boy would not know what truth is. He is certainly a vile narcissistic tyrant.
I do hope you will be back on our screens soon.
😁
My guess would be scary but relieving?
Your years of reporting and thank you for choosing to go out on your own terms!

Look forward to the Leopard Face Eating coverage!!
Best of the best of luck to you. And, thank you.
That was heroic!
💙💙💙
CNN's loss...once again.
Thank you for having integrity and speaking truth.

How about starting your own independent news outlet, which cross-posts on many social media sites.
Instead of just advertiser funded, let's try to get it funded via Patreon and other means.
I'm pretty sure there are many creators that would latch onto such an idea...
Looking forward to your next show and your new adventures 😃
Dems must win all 3......Then Dems would control Congress, and the purse.
Start now....nominate our best and win damn it.
"Stop The Nazi president" march on the Whitehouse.
We need 10 million plus sane Americans to march and protest against the Nazis residing at the Whitehouse.
