In spite of accurately predicting the termination of Brian Stelter back in June, News Cycle Media President Jon Nicosia announced on Friday that CNN’s Jim Acosta will be terminated next.
According to the Post Millennial, when Chris Licht became CNN president in February, after former CEO Jeff Zucker resigned amid a salacious workplace affair scandal, CNN adopted a “middle ground” view of reporting. In June, Licht said the network’s programming and on-air personalities should be less partisan.
In spite of accurately predicting the termination of Brian Stelter back in June, News Cycle Media President Jon Nicosia announced on Friday that CNN’s Jim Acosta will be terminated next.
According to the Post Millennial, when Chris Licht became CNN president in February, after former CEO Jeff Zucker resigned amid a salacious workplace affair scandal, CNN adopted a “middle ground” view of reporting. In June, Licht said the network’s programming and on-air personalities should be less partisan.
He continued, writing, “But did not fit into the ‘middle ground’ vision CNN is being pushed into. Since Acosta was the main Trump lightning rod between the “old” CNN and the new owners future vision he will either go quick, or with a lot of internal pushback.”
Jim Acosta has proved time and time again that he is not a fan of the right.
For example, Tucker Carlson and GOP leaders were referred to as “American Taliban” by Acosta in 2021.
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Acosta claimed, without any evidence, that Trump supporters had made “death threats” against him and his colleagues.
The right is not a fan of him, either.
For example, when Acosta asked President Donald Trump if he would apologize for the events of January 6, he was booed.
