On Tuesday morning, longtime CNN carnival barker and rodomontading fool Jim Acosta announced he’d be leaving the network after 15 years in a litany of roles, most infamously chief White House correspondent during the first Donald Trump presidency in which he molded himself into far-left martyr sacrificing himself at the public altar of politics in the name of journalism.
Acosta addressed viewers at the end of his 10:00 a.m. Eastern weekday CNN Newsroom (which he held for less than a year), saying “after giving all of this some careful consideration and weighing an alternative time slot CNN offered me, I’ve decided to move on.”
After claiming “the highlight of my career at CNN” wasn’t sparring with Donald Trump, but returning to Cuba in 2016 as the son of refugees and questioning then-dictator Raul Castro. Pompously, he said it reminded him that “[i]t is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant.”
He turned the smugness all the way up to a 10 out of 10:
I’ve always believed it’s the job of the press to hold power to account. I’ve always tried to do that here at CNN, and I plan on going doing all of that in the future. 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. Even if you have to get out your phone. Record that message. I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too.
