Jim Acosta Wants BIG $$$ Infusion to PBS and NPR, 'Too Big to Fail'
Earlier, we noted former CNN White House screamer Jim Acosta's appearance on Tuesday at a panel at the Center for American Progress. But it's still worth isolating Acosta's remarks on how there should be a big cash infusion into PBS and NPR, to make them "too big to fail."

Jim Acosta’s Stupid Question For Trump: ‘Why Do You Hate Hispanics?’
Even by Jim Acosta standards, the former CNN correspondent’s tirade on The Contrarian podcast Monday was pretty terrible. Following the weekend’s No Kings protests, it should come as no surprise that Acosta had a lot of smoke to blow on the immigration issues in contention. Chatting with hosts Jen Rubin and April Ryan, Acosta was full of praise for the “peaceful, nonviolent protests”…

Acosta Refers To Army Parade As Trump's 'Kim Jong-un Birthday Parade'
Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta traveled over to the Center for American Progress on Tuesday to praise the No Kings protesters, claim Saturday’s Army parade was really President Trump’s “Kim Jong-un birthday parade,” and, more humorously, claim that Trump’s attacks against the media put liberal priorities like high-speed rail at risk. Seriously, he said that.

Acosta Displays Amazing Hypocrisy On Election Conspiracy Theories
Even by his own standards, former CNN anchor turned Substack podcaster Jim Acosta displayed a stunning amount of hypocrisy on Tuesday when it comes to conspiracy theories about the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. On 2020, Acosta let former CNN colleague Michael Fanone go on a profanity-laden rant against Speaker Mike Johnson and fellow Republicans while he labeled actress Rosie O’Donnell…

FLASHBACK: Biden’s Media Lapdogs HATED the ‘Gratuitous’ Hur Report
In February 2024, when Special Counsel Robert Hur published his report about then-President Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, the White House’s media lapdogs were utterly incensed by Hur’s characterization of Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” Borrowing language directly from Democrats’ own talking points, corporate journalists maligned Hur for his “gratuitous”…

Lemon Thinks WHCD Roasting Him Is Akin To Calling Trump WH 'Murderers'
The Wednesday edition of The Jim Acosta podcast saw the reunion of two of CNN’s most insufferable former hosts as Don Lemon joined the eponymous host to preview Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner. During their discussion, Lemon attacked “the freedom of speech” crowd for cancelling comedian Amber Ruffin and cited his own experience at being grilled by the dinner's comedian as…

Matthews to Acosta: Trump Is Like Hitler And The Holocaust
Jim Acosta may no longer be ranting and raving about President Trump on CNN, but he does still have what every former media personality seems to have nowadays: a Substack and a podcast. On Friday, he welcomed former MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews to the show to compare Trump to Adolf Hitler and his immigration policies to the Holocaust.

NY Times Cheers for 'Loosened' (Canned) Hosts Acosta, Lemon, and Reid
Count on the media reporters of The New York Times to come oozing to the defense of leftist anchors who've been dismissed (or left in an egotistical huff) now trying to attract an audience on Substack. We're asked to feel sorry for "a handful of cable stars marooned from their mainstream media jobs." There's not a single liberal/left label in the piece.

Jim Acosta and the Collapse of the 'Mainstream Media'
The 2024 election sent serious shock waves through the badly named "mainstream media." The American mainstream has rejected the Democrat media establishment, finding them untrustworthy to "save democracy." It's more like arrogantly manipulating democracy. They through every rock and every kitchen sink at Donald Trump, and they lost. Is it time to say goodbye?

Here Were the Dumbest Moments from Jim Acosta’s Last Show at CNN
Tuesday was the end of an era with Jim Acosta’s 18 years at CNN coming to an end with the showboater choosing to avoid a demotion to weekdays at midnight Eastern and jumping ship with a cartoonish commentary about not “bow[ing] down to a dictator” and not “giv[ing] into the lies.” In the roughly minutes before that, Acosta was unapologetically partisan and went full Homer Simpson dropping a…

Bye-Bye Jim! The Worst of CNN’s Acosta
The MRC archive is full of Acosta’s disgusting attacks on conservatives during the Donald Trump era. The following are just a few of them.

BREAKING: Fake News Jim Acosta Rage Quits CNN, Rejects Midnight Move
On Tuesday morning, longtime CNN carnival barker and rodomontading fool Jim Acosta announced he’d be leaving the network after 15 years in a litany of roles, most infamously chief White House correspondent during the first Donald Trump presidency in which he molded himself into far-left martyr sacrificing himself at the public altar of politics in the name of journalism. Rejecting an offered…
