Narrative-spinning found Jim Acosta setting his sights on the employment of a conservative commentator after dubbing the latest outmanned appearance on CNN \u201cMAGA state TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Acosta has griped and grumbled about the ongoing effort by Paramount Skydance to complete a purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of his former employer, CNN. Now, as Democrats are working overtime to deflect from their incessant violent rhetoric after yet another attempt on President Donald Trump\u2019s life, Acosta renewed his calls for the firing of Scott Jennings after the political analyst used a four-letter word to tell another commentator what to do with his hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s appalling and it\u2019s a fireable offense,\u201d insisted Acosta on his \u201cThe Jim Acosta Show\u201d podcast. \u201cI think he should be fired. I\u2019ve been saying for some time he should be fired. And, you know, it\u2019s not even pro wrestling. It\u2019s low-rent Jerry Springer stuff. And he really should be tossed out today. They should just hand him his boxes today and tell him to get the hell out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim Acosta whines that Scott Jennings should be fired \u2014 says Jennings is an example of the \u201cMAGA state TV world that is emerging in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, the reason I bring this up, Steve, is that this is the way things work in MAGA state TV. This is the MAGA state TV world that is emerging in America where people like Scott Jennings has been getting away with this crap for way too long,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

The assertion that Jennings was a \u201cMAGA blowhard\u201d came as Acosta had played a clip of the conservative going toe-to-toe with MeidasTouch commentator Adam Mockler, who\u2019d contended Jennings was \u201cmaking condescending remarks because you can\u2019t defend the fact that this war is not going your way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid the pontificating, the waving hands of Mockler had crossed a line, leading Jennings to point his finger as he demanded, \u201cGet your f*cking hand out of my face, first of all!\u201d<\/p>\n

Acosta\u2019s quixotic agenda against a corporate media landscape potentially shifting toward moderate coverage previously found him offering testimony to California Sen. Adam Schiff (D) at a hearing in the once-Golden State, where he\u2019d argued \u201cpartisan hacks<\/a>\u201d could have a \u201cchilling effect\u201d on CNN in a fashion similar to the perceived changes at CBS News.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the former CNN talking head had reacted<\/a> to comments by Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr about Trump challenging \u201cfake news media and \u2026 winning\u201d by contending, \u201cTrump\u2019s media henchman doesn\u2019t realize this but what millions of people take away from this is that they SHOULD watch PBS and listen to NPR and turn on independent media. Americans don\u2019t like the government telling them what they can and cannot watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding his latest lamentations with renewed calls for Jennings\u2019 termination, social media users sounded off about Acosta\u2019s evident one-sided take on freedom of speech and his seemingly apparent saltiness about \u201csomeone he disagrees with\u201d enjoying continued employment at CNN.<\/p>\n

They only want a Democrat controlled blue state TV. How dare Scott have a different opinion.<\/p>\n

Leftists don\u2019t want anyone listening to any other opinions, because their ideas are horrible. Like they say, it\u2019s just proof that they have absolutely no agenda. Well, except for \u201cGet Trump\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ignoring the fact that Acosta is a has-been, does he realize that without Jennings, CNN would be 100% DNC media?<\/p>\n

Acosta is just pissed that Jennings is gainfully employed while he\u2019s not in obscure podcast Siberia.<\/p>\n
