"Post it on your social media." Thank you, Mr. Acosta.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Only one media outlet is reporting that LA Mayor Karen Bass' mic was turned off during the roundtable with Donald Trump last night.
None of them are reporting that they physically took away her microphone too because she kept trying to fact check him.
Shameful.
