Jim Acosta can get a hundred new show gigs and he will still be a pompous arse.

CNN is trying to find a place to put him in where he will not make a bigger ass of himself.

With all the corporate funding that keeps CNN afloat isn’t the real title of the show:

“Crony Capitalism In Peril”

CNN launches a show called Democracy in Peril? At a time when the Dumbocrats control both houses of Congress and the White House? Hmmm ...

I suppose they’re going to amplify the Republican voter suppression drumbeat, railing nightly about how voter ID laws and insisting that voters be legal US citizens are racist. This from journalists who are members of the party of poll taxes, literacy tests, and segregated lunch counters and drinking fountains.

It’s a clown world, folks. Hope the nose and shoes fit.

That’s actually a good move. “Democracy in Peril” show coincides with 1 year anniversary of Biden Administration.

Democracy is in peril under Biden and Harris with the Dems in control of both houses of Congress.

Do they really even care about ratings? Sure doesn’t seem like it.

Any democracy with Acosta as a media anchor is in deep peril.

Beyond us living in a Republic...
It will tank because he will find all the reasons why Republicans and conservatives, neither of which is in power, are somehow destroying democracy.
Because CNN is stuck on stupid.

I’m thinking that it falls into the “As long as they spell your name right” category.

The only think I can think of is that Mad Cow will be backing off from her daily show, and Acustard thinks he can pick up some of those viewers.

He won’t pick up a single Hannity viewer.

Hannity’s viewers will just turn the TV off if they don’t like him, or watch reruns of The Office or something.

It kills me how stupid CNN is. They are carrying the water for a political party that came in 3rd in popularity right behind terminal cancer and anal boils. So lets double down with this party of idiots. Yep that will get the ratings!

Accosta got crushed by Hannity. He got like 1/6 the viewers. Madcow beat him up badly, to boot.

What a complete loser.
