CNN Anchor Jim Acosta Quits Live On Air After 18 Years

CNN news anchor Jim Acosta has left the network after 18 years on the job. Acosta made the announcement on air during his last segment. He did not give many details as to why he’s leaving, aside from the fact that CNN offered him another time slot that he refused. This news comes on the heels of several mainstream media networks announcing layoffs and budget cuts. After Trump won the election in November, ratings for leftist Trump-hating networks took a nose dive. Much of their core audience felt betrayed as they all but guaranteed a Kamala Harris victory that did not materialize. Acosta has been the tip of the spear for Trump hate on the network, famously earning the “CNN sucks” chant directed at him during a 2018 Trump rally.
