It looks like the network bosses at CNN finally got rid of Jim Acosta. They didn’t directly fire the Trump hater, which would have been quite satisfying.

Rather, as we reported last week, they moved his 10:00 am morning show to midnight because of his past antics with President Trump, and he didn’t like that one bit.

Now he’s quitting and taking his Trump hatred with him.

Here’s more from Mediaite:

Jim Acosta is expected to leave CNN, according to Oliver Darcy of Status News.

Darcy, a former CNN reporter, on Monday night said the 18-year veteran of the network has indicated to associates that he plans to leave the network after being removed from his 10 a.m. weekday time slot by CNN CEO Mark Thompson.

Earlier this month, Darcy said Thompson asked Acosta to anchor a show during the graveyard shift – from 12 a.m. to 2 a.m.

On Monday, Darcy reported:

Jim Acosta is expected to exit CNN.

The anchor, I’m told, signaled to associates in private conversations over the weekend that he intends to depart the network after its chief executive, Mark Thompson, booted him from the morning programming lineup — a move that conspicuously coincided with Donald Trump’s return to power.

CNN brass, as we first reported earlier this month, decided to strip Acosta of his 10am show, which he has anchored to great ratings success over the last 11 months, at times even seeing higher viewership than programs in the channel’s prime time bloc. Acosta was instead offered the less-than-desirable option of anchoring a show from midnight until 2am ET. CNN pitched the gig to Acosta as anchoring during prime time on the West Coast and said he could move to Los Angeles to host the program. But the reality is the program would have aired at a time in which cable news viewership is at its lowest levels.

He’ll probably get a job at MSNBC, if I had to guess. But either way, good riddance.
