I wonder how many ethical press people will follow Jim Acosta and begin their own social media news coverage? I’d love to see some of these folks create a “journal” of some sort where we could pay for a subscription and get several articles in one. Having said that, I would still continue to support individuals regardless.

I think this just puts any/all of them at greater risk of attack. As individuals, it is much easier to go after them as people, whereas, as an employee for CNN, he's afforded more personal protection and support.

They're certainly brave, and I support their efforts, but it seems it is a divide and conquer strategy on the part of MAGA that will just make it easier to silence their critics. I'm reminded of JVL's comments a few weeks back, where he said he'd be willing to be the first guy taken down by MAGA, but not the 10th. I think about this for all of us who stand opposed to this assault. If I'm going to go down, at least make it matter, because if it doesn't...then what is the point?
