Former CNN ‘journalist’ Jim Acosta says he’s going ‘independent’ which is another way of saying ‘unemployable.’ He’s starting his own Substack under the creative title of ‘The Jim Acosta Show.’ We know this is all very exciting. Please, calm down. Oh, you were laughing? Please continue. We did.
Here’s the big reveal. (WATCH)
Jim Acosta announces he's "going independent" on Substack

In pure ‘journalistic’ fashion, Acosta starts off his new venture with a huge lie. Yep, just like you knew he would. See for yourself.
Nobody silenced him. He quit. pic.twitter.com/S2TrViXTWs

LOL, CNN renewed his contract at a much lower rate of pay and also moved him to the midnight shift and that's somehow Trump's fault? TDS if off the chart with this dope.

You don’t understand the victim mentality enough. He quit so Trump couldn’t silence him yet he is the victim and the resistance will live to fight one with less viewers/readers than CNN. He is calling it a victory

Acosta is possibly the most self-important, self-righteous, narcissist in legacy media… er, who was in legacy media. His self-exile means he’ll be alone with himself like he’s always wanted.
What an honor that he named his show after his favorite person

Commenters were anxious to get in their own jabs at Acosta.
This sounds way better than "I'm unemployed"

I had to sub. Just the free one and it pumps up his numbers but this should be hilarious

These people are going to realize the market for the anti-Trump hysteria is a lot smaller than it was 8 years ago.

The drama that journalists bring to situations is tiresome.

I really want him to apply for one of those WH Press badges as a podcaster

Yes, this would be hilarious. Made only more hilarious if they rejected his application. ‘Trump is silencing me,’ he SCREAMED for all to hear!
