CNN is set to banish longtime anchor and former White House correspondent Jim Acosta to the “Siberia of television news,” according to a report from a former colleague.
Acosta, known to conservatives as an annoyance to President-elect Donald Trump, will see his program CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta moved from 10 a.m. to midnight, ex-CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy said.
“The move would effectively exile Acosta to the Siberia of television news,” according to a Status News update from Darcy.

He’s a complete waste of space so that’s a good place for him, if they have to keep him at all. Selling fake watches on a street corner would be better.
Send him to Ulan Bator (Ulaanbaatar)!
That’s a shame. I love to see him being a disrespectful jerk every single day, driving their ratings into the toilet further because he has no sense of shame while they hand him his ass every day.
Yeah, it's especially nice there in January.
Pack your long John’s, Jimbo.
That human is a total waste of air, food and water.
Only his mother could love him, maybe.
It has rights, but sometimes we need to re-think
those values in certain cases.
"CNN was sued for defamation by plaintiff Navy veteran Zachary Young. Mr. Young sued CNN for defamation after the cable network ran a hit piece against him and his company accusing Young of running a “black-market” rescue operation in the wake of the failed Afghanistan withdrawal. The hit piece ran on Jake Tapper and Jim Acosta’s segments on CNN."
Even Siberia goes through the motions
Hold out and hold up

River running right on over my head
Florida Jury Award $5 Million in Compensatory Damages Against CNN in Defamation Case – Punitive Damage Award Forthcoming"
From what I just read.... "Following the verdict, a settlement was reached to resolve the entirety of the case before jurors calculated punitive damages, which is intended to punish malicious conduct and could’ve added millions more to the total award, for an unspecified amount.
Chump change, the defendant and his Lawyers must have not had faith in the punitive phase and took the 5 million and ran. Possibly it wasn't the 5 million award but Acosta was belligerent and was told to not run with the story and this is now his punishment of sorts?
On the brighter side, if Jim likes raw meat, vodka and freezing his but off, this is a great opporitunity.
Isn’t Siberia a step up from DNCNN?
