Jim Acosta's relationship with CNN and Donald Trump has been tumultuous. Initially a figure of accountability during Trump's first term, Acosta's role has shifted as Trump returns to power. CNN's current maneuvering, including offering Acosta a midnight slot instead of his successful morning show, has surprised many in the network. Employees express concern that this change reflects a capitulation to Trump's influence, raising questions about the network's commitment to holding power accountable and its overall approach to journalism.
If the move to midnight proceeds, it could indicate how CNN intends to redefine its approach to journalistic integrity under a new political landscape.
Jim made a career and name for himself by asking tough questions and holding power to account. It will be interesting to see if this kind of move has some sort of chilling effect.
