CNN Donald Trump-Baiting Anchor 'Expected To Exit' Network, Says Ex-Colleague

They reportedly “signaled" the move "to associates in private conversations."
Jim Acosta is reportedly heading for the doors at CNN.
The anchor has “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,” reported Status News’ Oliver Darcy on Monday.
Acosta is “expected to exit CNN,” said Darcy, a former colleague of Acosta at the network.
The journalist was reportedly offered to move from his 10 a.m. Eastern time slot to the midnight to 2 a.m. shift amid a wider shake-up of CNN’s broadcasting schedule and a restructure of its overall operations, which last week saw the announcement of around 200 layoffs as the business pivots to boost its digital offering.
Acosta repeatedly clashed with Donald Trump during the president’s first term, at one point even earning himself a temporary suspension of his White House press credentials.
