Jim Acosta, a prominent CNN anchor known for his confrontational style, announced his departure from the network after nearly two decades. The decision was influenced by CNN's choice to move his show to a midnight timeslot, which Acosta perceived as an attempt to diminish his platform, particularly for being critical of the Trump administration. Despite Acosta's show having performed better in key demographics compared to competitors, CNN plans to reassign his slot to Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown. The network acknowledged Acosta's commitment to journalism in their statement.
Jim Acosta left CNN after nearly 20 years following a clash over moving his show to a less favorable midnight slot, which he viewed as a sidelining.
Acosta's departure came as CNN reorganized its lineup; he expressed concern that the move indicated an intention to sideline critical journalists.
