Jim Acosta issued a bitter final diatribe as he confirmed that he is quitting CNN after being booted out of his prime slot.
Concluding his CNN Newsroom show just before 11am ET Tuesday, Costa, 53, looked directly into the camera and said: 'One final message - don't give in to the lies.
'Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope,' he continued, eventually calling Donald Trump 'a tyrant'.
'Even if you have to get out your phone,' he went on. 'Record that message. "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear." Post it on your social media, so people can hear from you, too.'
Acosta went on to state how he'd share news of his planned career moves in the coming days, following weeks of speculative headlines.
The veteran newsman - who spent 18 years at CNN - was humiliated earlier this month when reports emerged indicating he was going to be axed from his 10am timeslot.
A new Situation Room series headed by Wolf Blitzer will take over the slot instead, CNN CEO Mark Thompson confirmed last week, while unleashing some 200 firings.
Acosta, who lives in Washington DC, was offered a graveyard midnight to 2am slot by him instead - an offer he flatly rejected.

Nice rant. I think like 9 people saw it.
no one cares jim..........
I wonder if he had to run to hit the toilet after that ‘diatribe’. Uncontrollable, angry, scared diarrhea is nothing to be embarrassed about, Jimmy.
Touchy!! Touchy!!
Just ask the Pope! ;-)
Jim Acosta, a hateful little troll worm. Ya know.. the #RustyIrony of CNN, MSNBC, The View and other leftard hate channels is... if other entities, Fox, Clay’n Buck, Free Republic and other right leaning outlets didn’t report their outrages and insanity, I’d never know such WokeLeftazi channels even existed.
Make that 3 people and six cats.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer prick..no one at CNN likes him they all think he’s an arrogant clown
It was a nice gesture by CNN to humiliate Acosta by offering the grave shift. We should call him Midnight Jim Acosta from now on. It is wonderful how Trump’s enemies fall to ruin one after another.
“veteran newsman”
He was never a newsman.
If Acosta was what he appears to think he is, he wouldn’t be bothered in the least by a change in administration, nor would that administration be bothered by his continuation. The fact is that he’s a bitter partisan loser propagandist, not an objective journalist. His problem, not ours.
Soreloserman redux!
This is Trump’s fault, too?
The under on that number is a safe bet!
“Your careeris dead, Jim”
TDS grabs another victim. Jimmie is gone.
