Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta fired back at Greg Gutfeld on Thursday, sarcastically thanking him for the “plug” of his new Substack show after the Fox News star repeatedly ridiculed Acosta in a lengthy on-air segment on Wednesday night.
Jim Acosta ‘thanks’ Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld for mocking his new show: ‘You’re as bad as Hannity’ ‘Don’t you guys have anything else to cover?
Acosta left CNN last week rather than accept a move from mid-morning to the “graveyard” late-night shift, a proposal that many critics felt was an effort to bury one of the network’s most popular hosts — and an indelible Trump antagonist — in order to throw the new president “a bone.”.
Scoffing at Acosta for exhibiting “self-righteous power,” Gutfeld aired a clip of the veteran journalist — and longtime target of Trump and his allies — stating that it is “incumbent on us…to insist on the truth” while referencing the number of subscribers who have left him comments to that effect.
I hate to tell you, Jim, the only people watching are people like me who need content to make fun of you, and even this is a stretch because this is not even good bad — it is boring bad,” the Fox host sneered.
