Social media users have been sharing a recent tweet from Big Blue Wave USA that explored what MSNBC should do to increase its viewership. The post implies that the channel’s current best bet is to replace Andrea Mitchell with Jim Acosta.
The tweet stated, “I can’t think of one singular move MSNBC could make to boost their ratings even more than giving Jim Acosta a regular time slot replacing Andrea Mitchell.”
