CNN is making moves to prepare for the new reality of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s return to office, reportedly including the banishment of antagonistic gadfly Jim Acosta to the midnight time slot.
According to a scoop from former CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy, the cable “news” network’s chairman and CEO Mark Thompson put in a “peculiar telephone call” to the reporter in which he floated moving Acosta’s 10:00 a.m. show to the midnight hour, effectively exiling him to the “Siberia of television news” in what was suggested could be an olive branch extended to the new president.
“They want to get rid of Acosta to throw a bone to Trump,” a media insider told Darcy. “Midnight is not a serious offer when his ratings are among the best on the network.” more
CNN. You really do need to move Acoster to the midnight time slot….in Siberia. Let Putin have fun with him.
Best ratings on the network? Four people watching at the same time?
Why would President Trump GAS which time slot that pecker-gnat Acosta’s assigned?
Why even employ the buffoon?
