Do you prefer Jim Acosta or Brianna Keilar in CNN's 9pm slot?

It seems like Brianna Keilar and Jim Acosta are taking turns anchoring that slot. I love Brianna and it would be nice to see her on prime time since I haven't been able to watch her morning show.

Jim, on the other hand, is on an entirely new level now. 😍 It seems like he's all out of f's, so he has the edge. And did he change his voice too?? It seems a lot deeper now.

Maybe they can continue taking turns?

I agree with you that Acosta is all out of fucks to give.

Never understood people being enamored by news personalities who largely tell them things they already know and agree with.

fishermen, and their intent to stand up to the Russian Navy's planned war games in their fishing territory?

I think this was brand new information to nearly everyone that watched the initial segment she did on this subject.

5. Broadly, yes. I read the Guardian and other newspapers regularly.

Even that "right wing rag" Politico had a story about it last week.

readership in the U.S. I'll admit to not knowing that Politico Europe even existed. This was apparently posted just a few hours prior to the initial segment she did on her show.

I have no opinions on kale. I don't tell people that though, as doing so would in fact, reflect an amount of care on my part.

I tend to ignore conversations about kale rather than telling others their interests are too pedestrian for me to have any interest in. If I didn't ignore them, it would ironically illustrate my interest.

Acosta is good, he’s just too bland for me. A good reporter, not anchor material.

I'd like to see Brianna back in the afternoon. Her move to mornings has left a large hole in the afternoon hours.

PLUS Brianna kicks @ss. She does not allow people to spout lies without pushing back.
