Anti-Trump Anchor Jim Acosta Reportedly Threatens to Quit Struggling CNN Over Demotion to Graveyard Slot — Blitzer to Replace His Morning Timeslot

CNN’s Jim Acosta is reportedly fuming over his demotion to the network’s late-night graveyard shift and has threatened to walk away from the struggling network altogether.

This development comes as far-left CNN undergoes a significant restructuring under CEO Mark Thompson.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Acosta, formerly CNN’s White House Correspondent and a prominent anti-Trump activist, may soon be getting a downgrade.

Acosta currently hosts CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta on weekdays at 10 am.

Yet, according to ex-CNN reporter Oliver Darcy, who now runs a media-focused newsletter called Status News, CNN chief Mark Thompson wants to move Acosta’s show to midnight, when most Americans have already gone to bed.

“The offer caught Acosta off guard. He had no reason to believe that his current show would be on the chopping block. In fact, his ratings have historically been some of the network’s strongest, both when he was anchoring on the weekends and now at 10am during the weekdays,” far-left Darcy wrote.

He continued, “On some days, Acosta even out-rates some of CNN’s prime time programs. So why force him to move his show to the 12am hour, a time slot occupied by virtually zero other hosts in the cable news business? The move would effectively exile Acosta to the Siberia of television news. He’d be manning down a shift when much of the country is fast asleep and viewership is at its lowest.”

Could not have happened to a nicer guy!

We should all revel in the time slot that is perfect for him.

Jim Acosta’s ego is getting so inflated that there’s no room for him...anywhere.

[Paladin2]

Well, BYE!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Midnight Eastern time, is high noon Wogland time. Acosta will reach a large audience
of African Negroes and Middle Eastern brown people. Or maybe Acosta is a racist?

Jim, get a grip. They’ve told you that they no longer require your services. Be polite, and ‘move on to other opportunities’.

Well, that's a threat I'd certainly take seriously.

That is, if I watched CNN, which I don't, and haven't in about 15 years.

Too bad, so sad. Bye

A day without him would be like a day without a bag of hot air.

He better hurry and quit, because there will be a glut of MSM anchors soon.
