Jim Acosta is OUT at CNN
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Notorious never-Trump "journalist" Jim Acosta is leaving CNN, according to a new report.

Oliver Darcy's Status News was the first to report the news:

"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."

#3 Remember!!!
The Clinton News Network hired him, directed him, and approved his journalism for broadcast.

Likely, the only reason he is being cut is, CNN is looking at drastically dropping viewer #'s across the board. Plus, they can hire some Biden oddity a lot cheaper.
