That reminds me of a quip Norm McDonald once said. "You know, the more I hear about that Hitler guy, the less I like him."

The more Humpty Trumpster hears about him, the more he acts like him.

Brianna Keilar is good too. I don't see her or Jim Acosta anymore because I refuse to watch CNN.

I used to love CNN, then one day, just got this really bad feeling that all was not well - they had become maga-tized! Never went back.

I watch some MSNBC. My favorite is Nicolle Wallace. I like several different podcasts. Of course, Meidas+ is one of them. :)

I completely agree. He is gagged on CNN, not being able to say what he really wants to say about trump. Pay him whatever he wants.

Give him what he wants. Can u imagine peeking inside his brain and seeing what is stored in the since the f@cking golden escalator ride. I would talk to him for hours

He’s not a new guy , do u understand the concept of ‘headhunting’. It’s like dating , MT is asking him out , they better make a good first impression. They’re not going to ask him to go dutch, they’re bringing roses baby

No problem with him coming over but the hype shouldn't ruin it. Let him get started & take it from there. His popularity is awesome but can Meidas afford to match oligarths pay for popular frontmen? What if more become available? Lawrence Odonnell or Rachael Maddow etc. Lotta dollars.

It's already acknowledged the money to compete with CNN or any other MSM isn't there. However, creativity, liberty, the ability to be an unfettered journalist is available.

Wouldn't that require a tremendous increase in paid subscribers to be able to afford him?

I’m sure there are investors that not ‘paid subscribers ‘ MT started before any paid subscriptions

Are you sure about that? It's a privately funded endeavor isn't it? I thought we the investors.☮

Having Jim Acosta as a part of the Meidas Mighty would be outstanding. “Come on in. The water’s fine!”

Yes, we could give Acosta a gentle landing in a place where democracy is appreciated and not cowed by the billionaire class. Honestly I quit watching CNN a long time ago so to see him here would be great.

The required script for maga is to tell all liberals they get all their information from cnn. Whose gonna tell them that we’ve all given up on cnn years ago. The hypocrites are glued to fox and of course deny they ever watch it but spew word for word what is said there.

Curious about Chris!

I did watch him on CNN before the 2016 days. Back when Journalists were ethical and reported the news! Opinion propaganda is not Journalism. Chris decided to speak out publicly to support his brother, Andrew! He made a mistake, IMO.

I have like Jim for years. CNN is screwing him over. He would be beneficial to Meidas and could curate his own passions instead of being regulated to a box. He has been passionate about explaining our country and government to people and explaining the agreements we have with NATO and other trade partners. I hope Jim makes the jump and says bite me to CNN.

Leave that terrible Scott Jennings on the CNN curb! Dreadful creep!

And just in case there are other invites to join us at MT, consider asking Lawrence O’Donnell. A wealth of information, both historical and current. Abhors Trump without fail on his show. No laughing or making Trump sound “normal”.
