Embattled CNN anchor Jim Acosta announced Tuesday that he is leaving the network — and took a parting shot at the Trump administration by urging viewers not to “give in to the lies” in a final on-air rant.
Acosta, a former White House correspondent at CNN who often butted heads with President Trump during his first term, was reportedly slated to be relegated to the graveyard shift from his current morning slot.
“You may have seen some reports about me and this show. And after giving all of this some careful consideration and weighing an alternative time slot CNN offered me, I have decided to move on,” Acosta said at the end of his 10 a.m. program.
In his final message to viewers before signing off, the raging anchor equated Trump to “a tyrant.” “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,” he said. “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.”

Hopefully he’ll get a job with that Mexican news station that has that other nutty journalist, Jorge Ramos.
I think it’s called Univision.

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.”He's always been a rude, low IQ person, the perfect fit at CNN.
Hey, mush for brains. Ask Selena how "record that message" worked out for her!
You’re not a fun guy.
Nuff said.
Can he be de-naturalized and deported?
Tried for treason?

What name does he use on FR? /just kidding...maybe...
There should be a picture of this guy next to the word “dweeb” in some dictionary.
Microphone grasping a-cost-her is that you? Press secretary girls are a tough bunch can wreak havoc on a boy with weak hand on substantive things.
Bye by.
Oh, Gus, The Gardener’s gone now
And you went with him too.
The fungus here reminds me of
The fun Gus is having with you
The rockery’s a mockery, with weeds it′s overgrown,
The fuchsia’s gone, I couldn′t face the fuchsia all alone
And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above,
And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love.

25-30 years ago I look up and there’s Benny Hill in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” as I’m skipping channels
BTW, that female lead - she was quite the actress
Not giving in to the lies was easy for me. I never watched CNN.
