So happy to see you here. Your honest journalism is so desperately needed in these terrifying and uncertain times. Looking forward to what you do next. Maybe bring back your “Hold On” segment? I always loved that. Especially when you called Fox News the “bullshit factory”. 😆. You’ve got a lot of fans. You’re going to do great things.
Same here, I never pay for the substack accounts, but being as I am relying on them more and more, I thought I should. I've been living sans cable news on a regular basis for a few years, using the internet and video of cable news, LOL, to keep up. I remember all the grief Jim received last round of Trump, and I am glad for him holding to his beliefs and leaving CNN. They asked way too much of him. Though, now, I feel I owe a few bucks to a couple of other accounts, one journalistic, one a writer.
Same. I didn't want to pay for anything I consider social media, since we're the draw and entertainment. However. this is different. Jim Acosta is a respected journalist, reporter who has stood up to Donald Trump and his team, with integrity and facts. The truth and the resistance is worth paying for!
Look forward to all the words of wisdom from Jim Acosta. I shed tears today as you spoke on your last show. But now I feel such joy in your new venture. Best of Luck .
Caught your live sign-off earlier today and just wanted to say Thank You for the words. I joined the many today, in having their world turned upside down by a tyrant. And I’m just a lowly vaccine scientist that tries to do some good for Americans and the world - but today for the first time in 25 years finds himself instructed to cease work, and therefore also my pay. Walked to the Whitehouse and Capitol today, and left more distraught - where’s the outrage, where’s the fight, where’s the microphone today for the rest of us?
Thanx for posting here. There are many of us organizing and telling the truth. There is nothing "lowly" about what you do. Thank you for continuing to care and do the work. We will get through this.
My biggest frustration with Substack is that sooooooo many folks cannot afford to keep signing up for subscription upon subscription...I have signed up for around 10 separate subscriptions to keep up with the conversations I care most about. The Washington Post and NYT are so watered down they normalize Trump Circus like the legacy TV news channels...no facts as to how the laws are being broken or affronted...at some point I'm hoping for an "umbrella" subscription option...the energy and truth telling on Substack is the most important message wall against the Republican fictional BS that I know of at this time...I hope Substack is working on a "general" subscription, as the old newspaper subscription so more people have access to the dedicated writers who are working diligently to keep us all informed of the truth! Thanks for directing your thoughts and energies here, Jim, and telling the truth as Cronkite used to say, "...and that's the way it is."
Barbara, it is hard to buy individual subscriptions, but some of them include other subscriptions for free. The point of independent journalism is that it isn't bought and paid for by corporations or billionaires. That's what keeps it honest instead of beholden or held back by network policy. I agree that a whole indie network with one monthly or annual price would be great, but we don't want it to morph into another conduit that controls the press.
CNN'S loss and America's win! So grateful for your integrity, courage and commitment. Like Rev. Budde, you are doing what many in power have refused to do: stand up for what's right. You are on the right side of history and we're with you.
We are with you, Jim! Thanks for the work you do. Excited to see what’s next.
Thanks for standing up for the truth and reality!
I am glad you left CNN! I am more glad you are here! I am a paid subscriber! I thank you for sticking with the truth!
we have to support independent journalists! I am so big of tech bros and bro media!

So proud of you! Thank you!!
I’m all in with you Jim! Good luck to you as you continue your fight for truthful reporting
Thank you! I trust your journalism ethics and standards. I never pay for anyone’s substack but I did pay for yours. Zero desire to watch CNN.
I also will have no need to watch CNN.
I concurr. No more Acosta = No more CNN for me.

Me, too. Never thought I would pay for Substack, yet this is worth it.

I was just thinking the same.
I feel privileged to be a part of your new endeavor. You are a national treasure, and your voice is critical. Thank you!
I agree!
Just signed up for a paid subscription. Looking forward to following you here.
Me , too!

We need more people to stand strong for truth and reality. Thank you!
