Early Wednesday evening, shortly before I published news of CNN's looming lineup changes, Jim Acosta received a peculiar telephone call from CNN chief Mark Thompson. Thompson, I'm told, delivered the veteran journalist a sudden and strange proposal: Move your show to midnight and anchor it until 2am ET.

1. Why

They are continuing to show you who they are, believe them this time and don’t give traitors eyeballs.

[ZonkerHarris]

2. Like I give a shit about any enabling talking head on cable news? fuck that.

[dem4decades]

4. He spoke the truth when it came to Trump. You should care

That anyone that speaks the truth will be silenced.

[ZonkerHarris]

12. Then he should work someplace that reports the truth. AKA Not CNN

[electric_blue68]

13. Sort of disagree... he catches some people that might not otherwise hear the kind of things he saying.

[ZonkerHarris]

18. One of the many things CNN and MSNBC have in common is they both pine for FOX News viewers.

That's all they want.

[electric_blue68]

19. Well, if they genuinely win a few over while the others watch...

just to scour on what they see/hear...we still get some advantage. Each bit helps.

[ZonkerHarris]

20. They get those viewers by skewing right. That's how it works. Fox viewers need safe spaces.

6. why do you have 4 posts removed? he stood up to trump on multiple occasions and this is CNN falling in line for trump,

so there's that

I really don't give a fuck if you call

edited to clarify

[ZonkerHarris]

11. He doesn't matter because CNN is a fascist enabling entity.

3. Doesn't even say the time slot

[Shellback Squid]

5. just updated

[DeepWinter]

7. OK, thanks

Midnight to 2am. Yea, that's the dead zone.

8. Legacy Media

I love that phrase “legacy media.”

I feel bad for Acosta but it may be the best thing for him.

My 40 year old niece and her husband never watch legacy media - they don’t have time. Too busy with two jobs and three kids. They listen to pod casts while driving and in the gym.

So do my three oldest grandkids.

TV news is going the way of print newspapers and magazines. Maybe that’s not a bad thing.

9. Idk if its all that bad

That's prime time on the west coast and nobody else is running a live show at that point.

[electric_blue68]

14. Iwas just going to say that after "counting back" from East Coast time

Big Cali - lots eyes & ears! Add in Seattle,
WA, Portland, OR

[Mountainguy]

15. Yeah, I think it's a potentially untapped time slot

I just don't see how 9 pm PT is a worse slot than 10am EST. I think that's a terrible slot. Who's watching news at 10am?

[electric_blue68]

16. Interesting pov. People are often about their business by then whether work, errands, study, or fun. Others are...

still sleeping in. 👍

10. I'd like to see Acosta move to MSNBC.

Give Scarborough and his whole lot to CNN and let Acosta take MSNBC in the morning. Have him start each day by reporting out and discussing every new Fox News lie of the previous day. Briana Keiler would be another good addition for MSNBC working the morning shows with Acosta.

These are some good moves that could be made during Comcast’s spin off of MSNBC to strengthen MSNBC’s liberal/progressive messaging. Scarborough needs to be dumped.

17. Knr. Yip, the rolling over for drumpf keeps rolling.
