Jim Acosta may soon be out of a job at CNN and begging for a new one at MSNBC, the only network likely to put up with his self-righteous preening these next four years with Donald Trump as president. The notoriously obnoxious host, best known for making a scene at press conferences during the first Trump administration, is reportedly threatening to quit after CNN asked him to accept a humiliating demotion by moving his weekday show, CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta, from 10 a.m. to the “graveyard shift” between midnight at 2 a.m.
CNN executives have even offered to move Acosta to Los Angeles so he can live in the Pacific Time Zone. They’ve pitched the idea by noting that midnight on the East Coast is primetime (9 p.m.) on the West Coast and suggesting that CNN is more than just “an Acela corridor network.” (It’s not.) Acosta wasn’t thrilled about the new time slot, which remains the subject of “active discussions,” according to a network spokesman. The host ended his show on Wednesday with a defiant sign-off: “Still reporting from Washington, I’m Jim Acosta.” The Los Angeles Times reported this week that Acosta may leave the network rather than accept the embarrassing reassignment. One CNN insider told Fox News the graveyard shift is Acosta’s only option if he wants to stay. “He could have a real slot, but the choice is to not give him one,” the insider said.
CNN is in the midst of a major restructuring to cut costs and restore what’s left of its credibility. In the days since Trump was sworn in, CEO Mark Thompson has announced hundreds of layoffs and advised network personalities to be “fair-minded” when covering Trump and to avoid “expressing outrage” on air.
That sounds reasonable enough, but for Acosta, that would mean tarnishing his carefully cultivated reputation—he’s still popular amongst a handful of #Resistance grannies—as the smuggest, angriest, most partisan hack who doesn’t work at MSNBC. Before getting his own show at CNN in 2021, Acosta was a roving correspondent best known for shouting obnoxious questions and wrestling with aides who tried to take his microphone away. He wrote a book about how “dangerous” it was to “tell the truth in America.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
