Jim Acosta's recent departure from CNN followed a controversial schedule change proposal that aimed to reduce his airtime in favor of conciliating Donald Trump. Acosta, who had a history of successful ratings, criticized the move and chose to leave instead. In a farewell address, he emphasized the importance of truth and resilience in journalism. Trump responded to Acosta's exit with derogatory remarks, prompting Acosta to mockingly reference 'Acosta Derangement Syndrome' in response. Acosta plans to continue independent journalism by launching a Substack platform.
Acosta's departure from CNN is seen as a response to an ill-advised schedule swap that aimed to placate Trump rather than leverage Acosta's success.
Acosta urged his audience to maintain resilience against lies and fear, emphasizing the importance of truth and hope during his exit announcement.
