Jm J. Acosta Flounces Off CNN, Suggesting That CNN Is "Bowing to a Tyrant" for Shitcanning Him

Ridiculous puffed-up Cluster B narcissist.

I mean "puffed up" literally. His face and jaw are so stuffed with fat it looks like he's pregnant.

His Spanx For Men (TM) are holding on for dear Lycra.

Same energy as a foot-stomping 12-year-old girl who's angry that her parents won't let her paint her bedroom jet black so she threatens to run off to Europe where they appreciate sensitive young girls and Bauhaus.

What an absurd fat little swishy toad.

And a Major Loser.

It's hilarious that all the "Real News" toadies who used to bang their gavels and shout that people should get their "Real News" from Real News Corporations and not dirty low podcasters are all now doing podcasts.

The Jim Acosta podcast is going to be off the hook. The Jim Acosta Podcast will make the Don Lemon Podcast look like the Jen Rubin Podcast.

41 My humble advice to journalists is the same offered to Hollywood- read the room. If you don’t want to lose your job and stop making the income you currently enjoy, stop expecting the world to change for you, and become what your customers are telling you they want. Who cares if you think you are right, you can be principled and unemployed, or you can be what the market wants. Someone who delivers the news- who, what, why, when and where.

59 I actually didn't mind Acosta. You could see him coming a mile away. He fooled nobody. He was a stuffed-shirt effete navel-gazing penis-curious dipshit that existed solely to be a stuffed-shirt effete navel-gazing penis-curious dipshit.

He was the David Hogg of media.

In his entire career, Acosta managed to persuade exactly zero people to his side, and probably scared a few off to Trump's corner. He was a better recruiter for Trump than some in the GOP.

There are other media dipshits I despise much much harder than Acosta.

Concluding his CNN Newsroom show just before 11am ET Tuesday, Costa, 53, looked directly into the camera and said: 'One final message - don't give in to the lies.

'Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope,' he continued, eventually calling Donald Trump 'a tyrant'.

Andrea Mitchell is leaving MSNBC. Perhaps an opening?

A thousand times yes! He would be a crown jewel in their lineup: the equivalent of adding Hank Aaron to your baseball team, cementing them as a formidable media force. They want viewership, and the large number of people starved for the truth in the propaganda ravaged hellscape of modern news broadcasting will reward them by watching

Turn that CNN shit off. The fake and rigged up Trump town hall was bad enough. Now they've basically told Acosta to hit the road to appease their Fuehrer. FUCK EM

Christiane Amanpour:'Our job is to be truthful not neutral': - The media has failed in its duty to the public. It's a tragedy that there are not many more like Acosta. Instead, what we have gotten is fealty to trump or bothsiderism.

If you don’t want to lose your job and stop making the income you currently enjoy, stop expecting the world to change for you, and become what your customers are telling you they want. Who cares if you think you are right, you can be principled and unemployed, or you can be what the market wants. Someone who delivers the news- who, what, why, when and where.

A reporter chronicled an inauguration party in Washington on January 20 at Butterworth’s bistro alongside young Republicans celebrating Donald Trump's return to the White House. After the report made the front page of NY Magazine, the publication was called out for cropping the main image to remove any person of color - making it appear like the only 'casually cruel' Trump fans in attendance were white.

That's quite an admission. Because actually telling the truth is different than truthful. Truthful, especially in artistic environments which includes live media, means "characterized by accuracy or realism"

In other words, Dan Rather's "fake but accurate" is perfectly acceptable. And since the media believes that they are humble, speaking truth to power, and unbiased against everything they consider good, they truly have no concept why they are reviled. After all, they're being "truthful."

202 My humble advice to journalists is the same offered to Hollywood- read the room. If you don’t want to lose your job and stop making the income you currently enjoy, stop expecting the world to change for you, and become what your customers are telling you they want. Who cares if you think you are right, you can be principled and unemployed, or you can be what the market wants. Someone who delivers the news- who, what, why, when and where.

Progressivism *is* ignoring feedback.

I realized that's why James Lindsey calls everything "Gnosticism". Because Gnostics believed that in some sense they were God, but the world was being all poopy in not showing them their true god self, so the world is poopy and created by a demon.

Marxists are just atheists who behave as if they pursued a Gnosis (divine insight), they're not actually Gnostics.

Gnosticism seems to have been the crystallization of the idea that I'm right/the World is wrong. Which is why it has been the sort of inspiration of progressive politics for so long.

Posted by: Intercepted DU Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at January 28, 2025 12:10 PM (JCZqz)

That's quite an admission. Because actually telling the truth is different than truthful. Truthful, especially in artistic environments which includes live media, means "characterized by accuracy or realism"

In other words, Dan Rather's "fake but accurate" is perfectly acceptable. And since the media believes that they are humble, speaking truth to power, and unbiased against everything they consider good, they truly have no concept why they are reviled. After all, they're being "truthful."

230 Comedy Central’s part-time late-night host Jon Stewart took a sledgehammer to the cacophony of “submissive liberal crying” from elected Democrats and corporate media talking heads that “Trump is a fascist” following a week in which the president ushered in a litany of executive actions, firings, and mass deportations of criminal aliens.

“Now look, I have a lot of fear that as this term goes on, things are going to get a little fascist-y. And we must be vigilant. But part of vigilance is discernment. Republicans control the House, the Senate, the executive, and the judiciary. And just about every move that has been made, till this point, we have granted them electorally. It’s our fucking fault,” Stewart said during his 20-minute takedown of the Democrats’ oft-hyperbolic reaction to Trump’s first full week in office.

It's not working well, which is why the propaganda is shifting to social media and podcasts in such a big way.

None of us should trust anyone in any form of media. They're all paid shills.

That's quite an admission. Because actually telling the truth is different than truthful. Truthful, especially in artistic environments which includes live media, means "characterized by accuracy or realism"

In other words, Dan Rather's "fake but accurate" is perfectly acceptable. And since the media believes that they are humble, speaking truth to power, and unbiased against everything they consider good, they truly have no concept why they are reviled. After all, they're being "truthful."

The only principle they serve was to spread propaganda, and whatever change of direction is happening now, has nothing to do with market shares. It has to do with the rich and powerful deciding that message wasn't going to work anymore.

They're regrouping. When the likes of Accosta and Fauci become useful again, they'll use them. Or they won't. They'll find younger and prettier mouthpieces.

353 CNN is going to keep the cuts up. Warner Brothers/Discovery is bleeding money because Discovery decided to swallow up Warner right as cord cutting started to heat up, and now they aren't getting as much in subscriber fees because of that.

Add onto that TNT losing the NBA which will lead to cable/sat companies demanding a lower subscriber fee for that and Discovery is gonna have to tighten their belts.

It 100% is your fault.

You can't help what you don't know. Sure. However, you can help aggressively promoting that which some authority told you.

There needs to be an addendum to the idea that never put down to malevolence what is explainable by ignorance. It's that ignorance + arrogance is close enough to malevolence for government work.

If I understand it correctly, Captain America has been, in the comics for some time, more about an implicit tool of the WEF at the expense of America's interests.

Like, in 2017, the writers had him stop being Captain America because he was so ashamed of America.

A lotta nasty bag words. I did not learn these all at once. And I admit that douchebag is my favorite. It still makes me laugh.

Others have learned well from President Trump to not let these squish news people yammer on with their morning talking points from, I guess, Valerie, since Obummer seems to no longer care. Talk over them and done. "I really don't care, Margaret" should be the signal for, "You are done with your propaganda so shut up."

Chris Wallace should have been a wake up call. For every Tucker who succeeds wildly when parting a network, there's a few dozen Wallace's.

Wallace had an audience at Fox. But it had to do with the Fox brand, not Wallace himself. He left. He went to CNN. The audience did not follow. His show was canceled very quickly.

The problem probably has to do with the fact that Wallace's rhetoric was no different from 90% of the talking heads while Tucker was different from the 90%. There was reason to follow Tucker to a new place (online, X), but no real reason to follow Wallace.

He had great chemistry with Chris Evans in his debut Marvel film. But none of these actors can read the vibe of the room that is America. They let their egos and hubris get in the way. Had Disney been wise, this film would be America, eff yeah, rah rah, and it would be playing right into the pro America zeitgeist building right now. Instead it went the opposite way and will tank.

Someone said that the problem for young actors nowadays is the Hollywood machine is churning out charmless, flat, shallow roles due to woke. The message matters more than the substance. They are building a resume of crap roles in crap films that will be forgotten in fifteen years. It's impossible to build a career from that, the way actors did in the past. And it's worse for minority actors.

This is the answer. Port the landline number to your cellphone. If you want to keep your cell number, you can just add a second number to your cellphone.

Most phones sold in the last fee years support multiple SIMs so you can have more than one plan on a phone. Some support eSIMs so you don’t even need a physical second SIM, it’s all just done virtually. I have multiple lines on my iPhone 14 Pro on Verizon Wireless. I pay $16 /month for the second number.

The movie star system was developed by Irving Thalberg in the 20s/30s as a marketing technique at MGM. If you saw Greta Garbo on a poster, you knew what kind of movie you were going to get.

A subset of that was the A-list versus the B-list where A-listers made money and B-listers didn't. This part never made sense at all, but it became the dominant thinking around stars pretty quickly. It's complete horseshit, and I can pull examples all day of major stars failing to sell movie tickets despite being in movies.

But Hollywood still pushes it because Hollywood is run by dullards who need the simplest explanation for why one movie is a success and another movie is not. "Famous person was on the poster" is easy enough to understand, even when it doesn't always work.

450 183 New York Magazine has been slammed for editing black people out of a front cover spread on the 'young, gleeful and casually cruel' MAGA faithful. A reporter chronicled an inauguration party in Washington on January 20 at Butterworth’s bistro alongside young Republicans celebrating Donald Trump's return to the White House. After the report made the front page of NY Magazine, the publication was called out for cropping the main image to remove any person of color - making it appear like the only 'casually cruel' Trump fans in attendance were white.

I will never, ever understand weeping on social media. Is this done to trigger other weepy people? Who weep a lot? Sir Weepsalot. I don't weep often, but when I do it is in private and typically in the dark. I realize some people, who may or may not be more normal than me, weep easily. I am unsure if this is because I had brothers instead of sisters or am the weird one and Selena is more normal. Sniff (a booger, not sad). I think she learned her spanky lesson yesterday. Another weepy weirdo with sideboob is that Tiegan freak woman who recorded her miscarriage.

Sort of. What sports does is drive "live" viewership which advertisers pay more for because the viewer will see that show at the time it airs instead of up to a week later when they watch the recording.

On average, the typical viewer watches about 5-8 networks, and with live sports it drives viewers to those networks which is why you see a lot of promos for upcoming shows during games.

It might be an offshoot of Platonism. But and the ends of both the Apology and Crito, Socrates clearly indicates that he is serving God, not the other way around.

Winter Soldier, which Mackie is in, was actually one of my fave Marvel movies. The reason the first few films were so good is they each took a different genre and ran with it. Winter Soldier was a taut spy espionage thriller in the vein of Tom Clancy. And it showed that even the most American of institutions can be rotted from the inside, how Shield rotted into Hydra, without constant vigilance. Very apt lesson for today!!

It wasn't until the later films/TV series that the Marvel movies melded into bland bombastic sameness, as the Marvel bigwigs got afraid to take new risks and let woke take over.

492 440 OT: Anthony Mackie. I kind of liked him in the early films, but he has revealed himself to be a complete retard.

He had great chemistry with Chris Evans in his debut Marvel film. But none of these actors can read the vibe of the room that is America. They let their egos and hubris get in the way.

Rule #1 of being an actor: You are just playing a character. You are not the character.

Mackie is an interesting case. In 2016, he spent time in the social media barrel because he wrote some kind words about Trump on Twitter. He may have been told to say this from someone from up on high at Disney.

I once almost threw myself over a balcony yelling at Coach K leaving below me, and he would have been dead and I would have been in jail. Husband and son's gf were horrified after the game at my son and me. I did try to pick a fight, a polite exchange of words, with a frat boy. I was asked, later, with an exhausted sigh, "Just who do you think he would fight?" I said, me, and I could have taken him. My husband apparently thought he would have to defend me from the twit. Nope. And it was only an exchange of words, I didn't goose the guy, for heaven's sake!

I can see Ace having a field day with The Thumb. Cillizza didn't cover himself with glory on this one either. On top of that, he insists that Trump still lies, without any quotes from him showing that he actually might. It's axiomatic for these midwits that Trump lies, but they can never show proof of this. I guess that's why it's axiomatic; they take it as a sign of faith that it must be so.

Chris Wallace should have been a wake up call. For every Tucker who succeeds wildly when parting a network, there's a few dozen Wallace's.

Wallace had an audience at Fox. But it had to do with the Fox brand, not Wallace himself. He left. He went to CNN. The audience did not follow. His show was canceled very quickly.

The problem probably has to do with the fact that Wallace's rhetoric was no different from 90% of the talking heads while Tucker was different from the 90%. There was reason to follow Tucker to a new place (online, X), but no real reason to follow Wallace.

So he should admit that he was ignorant of whether or not Trump had better information and he chose to become dogmatic that ... TRUMP WAS LYING!

....
That's ... not "the Truth".

If it turns out in retrospect that you did not foresee that the President of the United States had better information than you did, and you *knew* that you were taking one authority's word over another (which is also *not knowing*), and you went to "LIE" instead of just sharing that we had contrasting reports, then that's a larger oversight than simply "Not knowing the Truth".

Again, it's true that you didn't know the Truth both then and now, it's not just true when you want to be excused for spreading propaganda.

Captain America was a good movie. Winter Soldier was a good movie. A little soft on commies, but whatev.

Cap in Civil War was meh.
Notice that the darker and further away from the flag Cap's suit got the shittier the movie.

As soon as Hollywood and NYC get a hold of Captain America or punisher, they can't wait to bend them over and destroy them.

Cap, SGT. ROCK, and Punisher as concepts are anathema to the DEI ped0s in charge of the studios.

The Climategate emails were nice, but the computer source code for global warming in those leaks? Unlike Fredo I'm professionally qualified to read that. There were comments from the poor intern about how it was deliberately generating garbage because that's what Michael Mann wanted.

I think it is a lot of fun and cathartic. When my new husband first saw this at my brother's HS game...my dignified Southern gentleman father yelling at refs, he was stunned. I told him this was totally normal, having gone to basketball games from age 5yrs. I thought everyone did this!

Granted, I would not yell at the refs at 6yr old games (grandson) as apparently some men get a bit loco over this. We are lucky if grandson shoots/misses/ we applaud wildly. He mostly stands under the goal with his arms up as if he was being robbed.

Even when sons played soccer it was not the same to pick on kids who were trying to ref. Big deal. I go for blood only in college games. Those were the days! I once made voodoo potato heads of Duke players from home. It worked.

They are going to Fail with a capital "F" at their podcast endeavors. And, as they are not really invested in any form of conviction, they are going to swing hard Right and try to co-opt an audience from those they are currently attacking with such unbridled enthusiasm.

If you bet against KC you are an idiot. The refs have been 1000 percent fixing the games for them since Cincy beat them in the AFCCG four years back and went to the LA Superbowl. In the year after that they actually had a "do over" play when KC didn't make a key first down without even calling a penalty.
