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?
“Why would President Trump GAS which time slot that pecker-gnat Acosta’s assigned?”
He doesn’t. It’s that even CNN knows what a dumb ass he is and doesn’t need more “CNN SUCKS” chanting when Acosta faces the camera and showing how stupid he is in the WH briefing room, so they’re keeping him busy elsewhere. When he is there, it’s always a s**t show instead of just being a reporter getting the news out.
BTW, where the hell was he the last 4 years? I completely forgot about him until last week when he was defending Liz Cheney as a “good Republican”. Go back to wherever you were hiding. The world was a little better.
They have to make an announcement otherwise nobody would know they did it.
I would not seat him in the press room. Tell CNN they need to send somebody else and then they get the back row or maybe not at all. The new admin should pick at least 10 bloggers/pod-casters to fill seats. Some pod-casters have more views than some CNN shows anyway.
Why even employ the buffoon?
He must have a Deshaun Watson type contract with CNN where they just have to live with the incompetence!
CNN should put him on the UFO/UAP disclosure beat.
The actual Siberia is an awesome and beautiful place with six feet of black topsoil in the valley and the incredible Katunksy Reserve park in the Altai mountains.
