Jim Acosta's Final Broadcast on CNN (Video)

Jeff Storobinsky

"Don't give into the Lies"

As today marks Jim Acosta’s final day with @cnn after 18 years I speak on behalf of millions and millions of people here in the U.S. and worldwide who thank you for being amongst the very, very best in the business and setting the gold standard of journalism. It’s been my honor to post your clips, Jim, for the past couple of years. Godspeed in your next venture as we’ll all be waiting and watching.
Walter Cronkite is looking down, smiling and proud of you. Well done.

He would be a crown jewel in their lineup-the equivalent of adding Hank Aaron to your baseball team, as he would help cement them as a formidable media force. As we all know they, like all networks, want viewership and the increasingly large number of people starved for the truth in the propaganda ravaged hellscape of modern news broadcasting will reward them by watching ✊🏼

"It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant. Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope."

Remember, he's the one who called Faux News a bullshit factory.

Get rid of Scott Jennings already. He's just a maga talking head and I have no interest in what any of them are saying.

He could do the other four.

Or go to PBS. We all need to support public television.
