Jim Acosta, former CNN chief White House correspondent, has transitioned to independent journalism following his departure from CNN. After famously sparring with Trump, he now hosts 'The Jim Acosta Show' on Substack. He recalls the intense nature of covering Trump and how it necessitated protection from CNN. Acosta emphasizes the need for thorough fact-checking in media coverage of Trump, believing it has an impact, despite previous challenges. His move represents a pivot towards more personal journalistic endeavors while maintaining a focus on important political narratives.
"I guess I could have taken a couple of weeks off and grown a beard and headed off to the Northwest Territory, but there was so much news going on."
"I think it does make a difference [to fact-check]. Half the country still believes the lies being told—it's about making sure the truth prevails."
