BREAKING: Longtime Trump-Hating News Anchor OUT At CNN


And…another one bites the dust…

As CNN continues to lose viewership and revenue, another infamous, TDS-infected newscaster is out.

Jim Acosta is reportedly leaving CNN after 18 years on-air.

Earlier this month, it was reported that his show was being replaced, but it was unclear if his future with the network would continue.

Now, as it turns out, he’s done.

Here’s what we know:

In honor of Acosta’s “legacy,” let’s remember a few highlights from his career…

Remember this?

Or this?

Fox News has more details on Acosta’s departure from CNN:

CNN anchor Jim Acosta is reportedly leaving the network after he was officially pulled from its programming schedule.

The Status newsletter reported Monday that Acosta was expected to leave CNN after it was announced last week that his 10 a.m. ET program was being replaced with “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown” in the network’s latest reshuffling.

The newsletter previously reported that Acosta was pitched by CNN CEO Mark Thompson to move him from his one-hour slot at 10 a.m. ET to a two-hour slot beginning at midnight, a far less distinguished place in the lineup.

One CNN insider told Fox News Digital they heard Acosta “struggled with the choice” and may be cutting his contract short as a result.

“It takes courage,” the CNN insider said.

Another CNN insider was dismayed by Acosta’s exit, saying “Many viewers like Jim… if there is anyone who could make the overnight go it’s him,” adding “It’s sad to see him go.”

According to some reports, CNN did not fire Jim Acosta — at least, not outright.

Instead, they offered to move his program to the graveyard hours of after midnight…

But, Jim Acosta turned it down.

The New York Post explained:

CNN chief domestic correspondent Jim Acosta is expected to leave the cable news network after his show was replaced and he was yanked from all scheduled programming, according to a report.

Last week, the anchor’s 10 a.m. slot on the network was replaced with “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown” due to the network’s schedule rearrangement.

At the time, there was no official word on where Acosta would fit in, but the network apparently asked him to take on the graveyard shift with a midnight program just days before President Trump’s inauguration.

The change in scheduling seemed to be a deal breaker and Acosta is now expected to leave CNN altogether, the Status newsletter and Fox News reported.

The anchor reportedly “struggled with the choice,” an insider at the cable news network told Fox, which may have influenced him to cut his contract short.

So long, Jim!

You won’t be missed…
