Podcaster Jim Acosta forgot to turn off replies on his post, and now he's doing the meme about how many people were triggered by his dumb statement. Acosta was triggered by news that Warner Bros. shareholders have approved the merger of Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery. Liberals are afraid that the merger will turn Acosta's former employer, CNN, into a conservative news station. Over 4,000 people in Hollywood, including the usual suspects like Mark Ruffalo, Ben Stiller, and Jane Fonda, signed an open letter opposing the merger. Elizabeth Warren, who called the merger a "five-alarm antitrust fire," is going to be heap big mad.
NEW YORK (AP) — Warner Bros shareholders approve $81 billion sale to Paramount in a mega merger that could vastly reshape Hollywood.

“Whataboutism” is the wan defense tossed around when hypocrisy is pointed out.

You were just fine cashing checks from the corporate giants of ATT-Warners-Discovery. Your silence then means YOUR oligarchs are acceptable.
So weird you complaining now... pic.twitter.com/O31SXYo4tR

Pointing out your hypocrisy isn’t whataboutism.

It’s because you are considered an disingenuous snake.

Admit this is about your fear of leftist messaging being curtailed.

Whataboutism is what people fall back on when others point out their hypocrisy. Jim is well aware that the entertainment and media industries are dominated by far-left leadership, but want to avoid acknowledging it.

Not a nerve. Just the raw pulse of the nation. Welcome to America’s thoughts. 💭

Oh, you left the comments on this time? How brave of you.

Which of the two is the supposed Mom & Pop you are trying to protect, here, Jim?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with your insanely blatant hypocrisy.
— Curve Dweller (@unethicalaccel) April 23, 2026
No. It’s just that everyone knows you’re a shill. I’m sure it hurts to get called out on it, but you kind of deserve it.

If people like you didn’t allow CNN to be captured by the far left leading to a catastrophic ratings collapse, perhaps it wouldn’t have been necessary to sell it.

Your “reporting” has been proven incorrect year after year
— CB in Texas (@CB3125211746723) April 23, 2026
There is no whataboutism to that. You have proven for years you are nothing more than a propagandist hack.
Next time, he'll remember to turn off replies before being called out as a massive hypocrite.
