Jim Acosta, Trump’s ‘Most-Hated’ CNN Anchor, Parts Ways with Network
CNN’s Jim Acosta, often labeled as former President Donald Trump’s least favorite journalist, is making headlines once again. This time, it’s not for his fiery exchanges with Trump, but because he’s leaving CNN after the network decided to pull his 10 a.m. show. Acosta, a longtime anchor and reporter, has reportedly opted to cut his contract short rather than take on a new midnight time slot that was under consideration for him.
Acosta became a household name during Trump’s first term in the White House, where their often tense exchanges highlighted an era of contentious media-politician relations. Trump famously lashed out at Acosta during a 2018 press conference, calling him “a rude, terrible person” and accusing him of peddling fake news. The animosity peaked when Trump’s administration attempted to revoke Acosta’s press pass, sparking a media firestorm and legal battles over press freedom.

Since joining CNN in 2007, Acosta has covered major political events, including the Obama presidency, but it was his role as a White House correspondent during Trump’s tenure that cemented his polarizing reputation. While some viewers admired his persistence and hard-hitting questions, others, particularly Trump supporters, criticized him for what they saw as overly combative journalism.
Acosta’s departure marks a significant moment for CNN, a network undergoing changes in its programming and lineup. Although no details have emerged about his next move, his exit is another sign of the shifting media landscape. For Trump and his allies, this might feel like a small victory, as Acosta’s relentless style was often seen as emblematic of the media’s broader challenges to Trump’s presidency.
Regardless of where Acosta lands, his legacy as a bold journalist who wasn’t afraid to challenge authority remains intact. His departure underscores how much the media world—and the political environment it covers—continues to evolve in the post-Trump era.
