I’ll keep this short.

Mr. Acosta. Can I call you Jim?

I don’t know what your deal is with CNN.

I don’t want to interfere with your contract.

I don’t want to be presumptuous that you’d want to join our network.

But let me say this:

We think you are great.

The MeidasMighty thinks you are great.

Working for CNN seems pretty terrible.

You are their best reporter.

You should be leading their coverage, but they are disrespecting your talent.

It makes me mad. It makes me sad.

The MeidasMighty told me I should reach out to you.

I would do it regardless.

You are a hero.

This country needs your voice over the next four years.

We would love to have you here at the MeidasTouch Network.

Again, I don’t know what your contract allows, so I’m not suggesting anything specific.

We probably can’t offer you CNN money.

Okay, I know we can’t.

We don’t have billionaires or oligarch investors like they do.

We have no investors.

But what we lack in financial resources, we make up for with the most incredible pro-democracy community in the world—the MeidasMighty.

That sounds cool, doesn’t it?

Anyway, regardless of what you decide to do next, I just want you to know:

You are an incredible reporter.

And we would be honored to have you on our team.

I think CNN takes you for granted.

I think corporate media as a whole takes a lot for granted—including their audience.

They’ve been spoiled, thinking they can disrespect their viewers and that their audience will magically stay.

We are proving them wrong.

Their audience is increasingly joining us here at the MeidasTouch Network as they cut the cord.

So… what do you say, Jim?

Thanks, MeidasMighty, for suggesting I reach out.

And thanks to all our new subscribers here.

You are all making this community so fun, even in dark times.

Together, we are stronger.
