We knew this announcement was coming for days: CNN’s Jim Acosta is no longer with the network. The notable anti-Trump reporter and host was not keen on being relegated to the graveyard shift. Acosta would helm an anchor’s desk between midnight and two in the morning. I don’t see the problem, as the ratings likely would’ve been the same. Still, the man is making for the exits, so we won’t have these epic showdowns that often lit up social media.

Jim Acosta last week went on yet another sanctimonious rant about how he’s a superhero and that the free press is so sacred.

Jim Acosta: You can't just spin a tale and pull the wool over people's eyes. This is CNN. This is the news. 🤣

It's not like Acosta won these exchanges. Trump usually took him to the cleaners, but I can also see why he left, as working that shift would be death. Yet, that’s also the point. The network made this programming change not long after Trump won the presidency.
