Former CNN host Jim Acosta is one of the many media liberals currently panicked about the prospect of CNN and other outlets coming under new ownership.
During a recent broadcast of his podcast on Substack, Acosta railed about the possibility of Scott Jennings getting his own show on CNN or another network. Talk about sour grapes.
This just serves as a good reminder that so many people in media are driven by envy. Acosta was so bad he got bumped from CNN. Scott Jennings is now one of the only reasons to ever watch the network.

Jim Acosta Melts Down Over ‘MAGA-Friendly’ Owner Likely Controlling CNN
Former CNN host Jim Acosta expressed alarm after Paramount won a bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery during a Friday episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”
Netflix terminated its efforts to acquire the media conglomerate that owns CNN on Thursday after Paramount Skydance’s higher bid, CNBC reported on Friday. Acosta noted on his show that the new ownership of CNN would likely be friendlier to President Donald Trump and expressed concern about CNN senior political commentator and Republican strategist Scott Jennings getting his own show.
“[W]e may have a scenario in this country where a MAGA-friendly corporation, a Trumpy corporation, Oracle, will control both CBS News and CNN,” Acosta. “In what world is that normal? How is that happening in America? … I can understand it happening in Russia … Hungary … Turkey … Visit the countries that have state-controlled media … These are not places where you want to live, by and large … These are places you don’t even want to step foot on their soil.”
“Do we want the United States of America to become like Russia? … North Korea?” he added. “Do we want the United States of America to become like China, where you don’t have freedom of thought … political freedom … the ability to read, watch, and absorb the media and information that you want to consume and take in?”

Newsflash for Jim Acosta: If Scott Jennings got his own primetime show on CNN, it would be one of the most watched shows on the network.
It’s amazing that they haven’t already done this.
