Jim Acosta, CNN's chief anchor and former White House correspondent, announced his exit from the network during a broadcast after his show was rescheduled to midnight. Acosta, who spent nearly 18 years with CNN, addressed speculation surrounding his departure and made notable remarks directed at former President Trump. He highlighted a moment from his career covering Barack Obama's visit to Cuba as the pinnacle of his achievements, emphasizing that the press must hold power accountable and never bow down to authority, reflecting his commitment to journalistic integrity post-CNN.
You may have seen some reports about me and this show, and after giving all of this some careful consideration and weighing an alternative time slot CNN offered me, I have decided to move on.
As the son of a Cuban refugee, I took home this lesson: It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant.
I have always believed it's the job of the press to hold power to account. I will continue to do that.
Actually, no. That moment came here... when Acosta had the chance to question the country's former President Raúl Castro.
