Let it FLY, Mr. Acosta, we need your input, and some advice might be interesting and helpful too 🎉✊🏼

Our household stopped CNN after the misogynist culling of fine Women anchors. We stopped watching all Morning Joe well before both revealed themselves too good for we the less, and kissed a nasty fanny. We stopped watching on blast, like on in the background, when we were driven mad with one story a day by each anchor (poor kids). We stopped watching when the lack of thorough reporting became too evident. We do watch Joy, Rachel/Alex of course, they are the champs. Oh, sorry, also some Nicolle too. In other words, we watch carefully and are picky about redundancy. Independent journalism on YT is awesome and brutal. Plus, actual news about Ukraine!🇺🇦 So, We the People do still rule. We can stop the Jabba in our Oval Office with our vocal and constant resistance ✊🏼🎉🇺🇸💙America belongs to us. This chaos cannot be sustained. There is one pole, negative, it cannot last without the positive.

And Lawrence O’Donnell.

I stopped watching all of them too. The only ones I still watch are Rachel and Lawrence. They are both consistently excellent.

Without doubt. Rachel, the Master Teacher and Wonderful storyteller and Lawrence, Mr. Class delivers news and thoughts. 📖📚

I like Nicole as well.

I like Chris' Podcast.

Ari is good, although sometimes I find him too "fair". I don't actually want to listen to Republicans he brings on to give equal time to. They lie, and even if Ari exposes that the next day, it's still a waste of valuable airtime.

Michael Steel is also good, imo.

I quit that station and was very let down by Ari who I used to love to listen to. No more

Did Chris move to podcast only? I hope so. I liked him a lot before I had to quit the station all together for what they allow on there

No. He’s still on MSNBC. He’s been making the rounds on many good podcasts lately: he has a new book out. That man is so intelligent.

And he still does his own podcast.

Me too

Ari Melber

I find Ari difficult to watch. He speaks in a way that makes me think he doesn’t know what the next word will be. Plus, I’m old and don’t get the hip hop stuff. It’s just too cool for this oldie, I’m thinking. I was 😳 with a poll last year that showed Ari was first in the daytime programming.

And Chris Hayes.

If only there were more inspiring journalists in the MSM! Jim Acosta is an honest man, doing the right thing. The MSM promote Trump by not telling the whole truth.

It’s disturbing that so many of these people choose to push Trump’s never ending lies.

I stopped watching CNN. Acosta has told the truth about Trump and CNN doesn’t want too many viewers to hear him tell the truth!

This is how dictators get in power.

Time to wear these kinds of shirts the next four years 👇

He sure is!! It's my dream to be a journalist like him.

Great shirts. I was thinking of designing some of my own for my website and other designs to fight for democracy and against dictators. I'll get one of the ones on this page soon.

When the lion says he's going to eat you, believe me, he's not going to stop at a nibble. When the President says he's going to be a dictator on Day 1, he's not going to stop...as you can see.

Great show, hoping for many more! CNN is almost worthless now. 😞

From Team Substack: For anyone who can't tune in LIVE, a recording will go out immediately following Jim's broadcast.

Awesome

Thanks

Great!

My favorite CNN anchor ends up being the one who speaks truth to power. You’ve gained much more than you’ve lost and when you’re asked someday when this is all over - “What did you do as a journalist to defend democracy?” You can proudly say you spoke out against tyranny and lost a prestigious job at CNN.

I’ll be watching and supporting!

Great first show Jim - looking forward to more!

This just made my day!!!

Jim, you have always been my favorite anchor at CNN. Your gonads and control during the first trump adminUstration were exemplary. With musk having access to Treasury, Congress being bought, blackmailed or just invertebrate and the clown show and chaos, the importance of real journalism has never been higher. Thank you for being you.

Thank you. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts.

I can’t wait Jim!! We need you!

To let everyone know….. Substack has been inconsistently loading posts today. Possible technical glitch? Looking forward to 4pm with Jim today!! 👏 👏

Erin, my Substack has been totally wonky for weeks now.... I still can barely respond to only some emails, can only post sometimes..... it's very frustrating. Don't know if the platform is overloaded or what??? Some days I can't even read other's posts on here.

Yes, mine too. I thought maybe because I was doing something wrong and had not downloaded articles properly....

Substack Live newbie here! Do I just come to this site on the app and POOF! Jim will appear?

Another Honorable and Patriotic American changes channels of communication from a hapless
