CNN's anchor Jim Acosta is said to be officially withdrawn from the programming schedule and then leaves the network.
Acosta was announced last week that his ET program at 10:00 am was replaced by the latest re -shuffle of the network with “a situation room equipped with Wolf Britzer and Pamera Brown”. I reported on Monday that I would be expected to leave.
The newsletter reported that CNN's CEO Mark Tompson has sold Acosta and moved from 10:00 am to two -hour slots starting from midnight, which is much more prominent in the lineup. did.
One CNN insider told Fox News Digital that Acosta was “struggling to make a choice,” and as a result, he has shortened his contract.
“I need courage,” said the CNN insider.
Another CNN insider was disappointed at the exit of the Acosta, saying, “It's sad to see him going if there are many people who can go overnight.”
CNN spokesman refused to comment.
Acosta is widely known as a CNN Chief White House, in his first Trump administration in his hostile relationship between President Donald Trump and his aide. After the 2020 election, Acosta's status at CNN was shifted to domestic correspondents and fixed the show on the weekend, but eventually shifted to weekday programming.
CNN's past leadership enjoyed the constant sparring match with the Acosta's first Trump administration, but the current leadership of the network can be seen more neutral in the second go -around. It seems to be.
Acosta first joined the CNN in 2007, where he covered the political campaign and eventually covered the white house of Obama and Trump. He immediately shouted a question at the Trump White House press chairman, frequently went to the toes to his toes, and was called “false news”, and Trump was spectacular. I grew the reputation of being.
Acosta is famous for refusing to abandon a microphone at a press conference in 2018. The White House tried to cancel Acosta's press pass after Acosta's dust, but his qualification has recovered when CNN claims that it violated the first and fifth correction rights of Acosta and network.
Acosta's first hostile relationship with the Trump administration was that he landed a book transaction and became a guest of a liberal late -night show, so he seemed to be advantageous, and he was anchor chair to President Biden. The star power that landed was further fuel. He recently told the viewer that the media was “not the enemy of the people,” in a playing card.
