I always appreciated that Jim Acosta stood up to Trump.

Inspiring ✊

Love him!

Let’s be thankful that CNN didn’t cut to a test image when Acosta got into his farewell. On the current track we can’t be confident of that in the future.

Our government from the tiniest little agent in the Social Security office who sings he’s such shit and he’s not, and he disrespects you to the highest position in government, which is president of the United States. They all suck. We need to get rid of the federal government.

Well deserved! 👍

You should do a 'Daunted' individual as well.

karmaleo.bsky.social•23 days ago

All other mass media should step down or promised to tell the truth. None of them know the difference between truth and lies.

Good man 👏 Jim Acosta

sjslack.bsky.social•22 days ago

He's someone I want to listen to. I want to hear his voice. He is on Substack now.

stars-upon-thars.bsky.social•22 days ago

Great. Now, spotlight everyday people who have done the same for years/decades.

It got to this point for a reason.

heymickylo.bsky.social•23 days ago

Thank you, for honoring a free and ethical press!

carolnorris.bsky.social•23 days ago

Well-deserved.

Acosta is as principled a man as he is the George Clooney of news anchors so I fully expect to see his incredibly hot face across my tv screen in short order, just on a more principled news network, one that won't cave to a dictator-in-thief's every command.. CNN is cowering like many other outlets!

loopybrush07.bsky.social•23 days ago

Good for him and whoever he will work with. He’s got class!

kelspeed.bsky.social•23 days ago

He led by example

highcl.bsky.social•23 days ago

A proud example

rhomae.bsky.social•20 days ago

I fear they will take over CNN and MSNBC... take away what little truth we get.

raveneckles.bsky.social•23 days ago

Acosta did what the Republicans don’t have the courage to do. Speak up, be willing to lose their job.

🛑Never 🛑

bbmjcandy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Well done Jim Acosta!

lamebanana.bsky.social•23 days ago

He’s on Substack now!
I encourage you all to follow him!💙🍌

karbeth224.bsky.social•23 days ago

Great choice!

swarmoh.bsky.social•23 days ago

so great to have Jim Acosta's fantastic voice free to say whatever he wants to say!

swarmoh.bsky.social•23 days ago

Thank you also for highlighting Counteroffensive with Tim Mak in last night's Evening Roundup!

"Based in Kyiv, they shared a story of shadowing Russian hybrid warfare ships in the Baltic Sea; their story of when 'We joined a Lithuanian naval patrol seeking to push back against Russia’s tricks.'l
