Jim Acosta appreciation thread.

[Amaryllis]

I always wonder about appreciation threads, if the person being appreciated ever sees them, but in case, let's do one. And then email him individually. As Dan Rather said, he needs to know he has support.
"Last night @CNN's @Acosta faced down a hostile crowd. Support from his colleagues, competitors, and general public is a must."

I felt so grateful for him today watching that press briefing, and at the event yesterday that Dan Rather referenced in quote above. Speaking truth to power both times, which he does regularly.

Any other ideas on how to let him know he is supported?

[shenmue]

1. He was good

[ginny skinny]

2. I watch him every week on Washington Week (PBS)

Highly recommended. Like him a lot.

[ginny skinny]

3. Ahhhh....Messed up!

Confused him with Robert Costa. Not familiar wit Jim Acosta, don't have cable.

[Amaryllis]

4. You dont need cable. It was all over PBS today. He asked Sarah Sanders to say the press was not

the enemy of the people and she wouldn't. It got testy. Here:

6. Thanks.

[BigmanPigman]

25. He is posted under Videos on DU Homepage.

I think he also left the presser today as well. Here it is...

5. Jim Acosta is a bulldog. Sinks in his teeth ...

and doesn't let go.

[bluecollar2]

7. Kick...n/t

[dem4decades]

8. He was reasonable and caring for our country and she was

A monster.

It came across too. Thank you Jim

[pazzyanne]

9. I love the way he asks pointed questions

and then moves in when they are not answered. SHS must really hate having to go out for her press conferences when she knows he is there. Keep up the great work, Jim. Stay safe.

[True Blue American]

57. Jim deserves The admiration

Of all of us.

Did you notice after Ivanka Trump changed his tweet to,” Not all Media, just fake news!”

You know,the lies that Trump and Sarah put out?

Will Trup Fire Wray, Kelly Coats or Neilson? They all contradicted him yesterday.

Now Omarosa is out with her new book telling about Trump’s rambling,repeating himself and serious mental decline. All of that are obvious signs of Dementia,and his constant rage and need to blame someone is also a sign. They are scared and lash out.

[world wide wally]

10. This President is an enemy of the people..

[trueblue2007]

12. JIM IS GREAT

[MuseRider]

13. Love the guy and his work and his guts!

I hope he can hang in there but not get hurt. These people scare me but I am ever so grateful for him sticking in there under the worst of it all.

[LuckyLib]

14. Your profession has been slow to step up

to the crazy that is Trump’s regime. You have led the charge in calling out the BS that flows daily from the WH. Thank you!

[byronius]

16. He's a serious journalist down to his core, and that's become clear.

[Duppers]

17. Thank you, Mr. Acosta. Thank you.

You, sir, are standing up for our Constitution and for our country.

🙏

[Pobeka]

18. I don't have cable, but from the clips I see I very much support Jim Acosta! n/t

[Pathwalker]

19. Keep up the good work, Mr. Acosta.

We stand with you!

[Lady_Chat]

20. Thank you, Mr.Acosta! Takes lot of courage

to do what you do, seeing those crowds and how they acted made me feel sick, and worried for your safety. So sorry you have to go through that, to bring us the news. This shouldn't be happening.

[MyOwnPeace]

35. As another poster said,

Finally, someone in the room standing up and calling them on their BULLSHIT!!!!

OK, "liberal media," ( ) somebody is leading the way - now it's time to grow a pair and start doing your job!!!!

[Olafjoy]

Freedom of the Press
Fourth Estate 4 Evah!!

[tavernier]

[samnsara]

38. hes a real American

[econron]

39. You Are Appreciated - Thanks

Jim - thanks for for exposing more SUNSHINE on the White House and I for one appreciate the press and all YOU and CNN do for America.

[dchill]

40. Thanks, Jim, for taking one for the team...

More than one, actually.

[oasis]

41. All the way professional. Jim is one of the best.

[moondust]

42. Keep the fire, Jim!

[leanforward]

43. Thanks Jim, you are speaking for me.

My family was/is military. Freedom of the press is critical/essential.

[Demonaut]

44. Thanks Jim!!

[calimary]

45. Maybe we should start tweeting, messaging, calling,

posting, writing letters, and sending cards, urging them to stop covering his rallies, and boycotting Sarah’s bullshit pompous, haughty, dishonest, pathetic-joke “news conferences”.

Perhaps writing or calling the White House Correspondents Association:

@whca

[Amaryllis]

48. Yes!!!!

[ALBliberal]

46. Love him and continually worry about his safety. Truth to power every day.

[H2O Man]

47. Recommended.

I have nothing but respect for him. And I think it is very important that we thank those people in the media who are stepping up.

[blueseas]

49. Just keep filming

Show their faces, the world sees the ugly ones.

Stay safe, our Democracy needs heroes.

52. Bravo to Jim Acosta!

Never give up!

[mahina]

53. Being a journalist is an act of courage.

Jim Acosta is incredibly brave and principled.

I will write to him.

[Initech]

54. It's got to take serious cojones to go into Trump country when you're his #1 punching bag

And for that I salute him!

[Upthevibe]

55. Thank you Jim Acosta....

You are doing a stellar job and are appreciated.....

[MFM008]

56. Jim realizes

If no one else is doing it......you gotta do it.
Thanks Jim.

[True Blue American]

58. Jim may turn out

To be a one man Woodward and Bernstein.

After years of catering to Republicans who bought his books Woodward has now come out with an exposé of Trump.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

59. America needs more people like Jim...

Willing to stand up and question all this BS. Let America know, THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

[TheCowsCameHome]

60. ++++++

Go Jim.

[NCjack]

61. Jim set an excellent example for reporters. When you are being

offered bullshit, refuse it and walk away immediately.

[sellitman]

62. I'd love

I'd love the rest of the Press walk out in support of Jim next time out.

[Alliepoo]

63. Thank You, Jim Acosta!

I appreciate what you’re doing! Keep up the good work!

[Labiglabocce]

64. Keep fighting, Jim!

Keep fighting for us and our democracy, Jim.
I stand with you and I appreciate your fight, don’t give up.

[raging moderate]

65. Well done, Jim Acosta!

[DFW]

66. I even gave him his own line in the chorus of a song

I Guess That’s Why He Calls It Fake News (I guess that’s Why They Call It The Blues—by Elton John)
A.
Just watch what you say
‘Cause he carries a grudge forever
Between you and me, you know it’s this way
You know he’ll never get better

B.
It won’t go away
Do-nald has still got his pride
And it won’t be long before he turns to run
To the tower of gold where he’ll hide


Chorus:
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news
Can’t understand, what he says is not true
Asking his children
Bragging ‘bout lovers
Bashing Acosta for stories he covers
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news

A.
He’s so out of place
Waving his small little hand
At each press conference, there’s no hesitation
He lets you know he’s the man

The story unfurls
But don’t ask, it won’t help
‘Cause more than ever, he cares not for you,
He only cares a-bout himself

Chorus:
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news
We understand, ‘cause the man has no clue
Asking his children
Bragging ‘bout lovers
Bashing Acosta for stories he covers
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news

[WinstonSmith4740]

70. Keep fighting, Jim

If the rest of the press corps had your spine, we wouldn't be in this mess. Watch your back...nobody would blame you one bit if you refused to cover his rallies. You should at least demand combat pay. His minions are dangerous.

[Mad-in-Mo]

71. THANK YOU for your work!

78. Thank you Jim Acosta for your courage and integrity during a time when I am sure it

would be much easier to go along or walk away. You are a true American patriot!

[apkhgp]

79. I appreciate everything this guy does

I can see that Jim Acosta is trying to cut through the smokescreen that this administration has erected to hide all of their underhanded maneuvering. Keep going Jim.
