Jim Acosta, a CNN anchor known for his critical approach to the Trump administration, announced his departure from the network after nearly two decades. His final show, where he expressed gratitude for his time at CNN, was prompted by a scheduling conflict that led to a dispute. Despite recent changes in CNN's editorial tone regarding Trump, Acosta did not attribute his exit to these shifts. His departure coincides with acknowledgment from CNN of his contributions to journalistic integrity and criticism during his tenure.
I’m grateful to CNN for the nearly 18 years I’ve spent here doing the news.
Acosta is well known for an unrelenting approach to challenging the Trump administration from both the newsroom and from the perches of the White House press room.
Jim has had a long, distinguished nearly 20-year career at CNN, with a track record of standing up to authority, for the first amendment and for our journalistic freedoms.
In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump called Acosta's decision good news.
