Self-appointed anti-Trump ‘resistance’ journalist Jim Acosta is reportedly leaving CNN.
Last week, it was revealed that the struggling network was moving Acosta to the waste land of midnight or 2 AM. As a result, he was allegedly threatening to quit.
Now it’s happening. His dozens of viewers will be very sad about this.
Mediaite reports:
Jim Acosta Expected To Leave CNN
Jim Acosta is expected to leave CNN, according to Oliver Darcy of Status News.
Darcy, a former CNN reporter, on Monday night said the 18-year veteran of the network has indicated to associates that he plans to leave the network after being removed from his 10 a.m. weekday time slot by CNN CEO Mark Thompson.
Oliver Darcy, who also used to work for CNN, reported:
Jim Acosta is expected to exit CNN.
The anchor, I’m told, signaled to associates in private conversations over the weekend that he intends to depart the network after its chief executive, Mark Thompson, booted him from the morning programming lineup — a move that conspicuously coincided with Donald Trump’s return to power.
CNN brass, as we first reported earlier this month, decided to strip Acosta of his 10am show, which he has anchored to great ratings success over the last 11 months, at times even seeing higher viewership than programs in the channel’s prime time bloc. Acosta was instead offered the less-than-desirable option of anchoring a show from midnight until 2am ET.
CNN pitched the gig to Acosta as anchoring during prime time on the West Coast and said he could move to Los Angeles to host the program. But the reality is the program would have aired at a time in which cable news viewership is at its lowest levels.
What a shame.

What will Acosta do next? Start a podcast? He may find that he needed CNN more than CNN needed him.
