CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta is leaving the network after a shake-up in its schedule that left him without anchoring duties during daytime hours. Acosta announced his departure on air Tuesday, telling viewers to 'hold on to the truth' and that 'It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant.'
CNN 's Jim Acosta wearing his White House "hard pass" walks on the North Lawn driveway upon returning back to the White House in Washington, Friday, Nov. 16, 2018. U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to immediately return Acosta's credentials. He found that Acosta was "irreparably harmed" and dismissed the government's argument that CNN could send another reporter in Acosta's place to cover the White House.
Acosta is expected to seek out new ventures that he might build himself, according to the person with knowledge of the situation. Acosta recently posted a link to a new Substack-backed outlet via Threads, the Meta social-media platform. Other journalists pursuing such businesses include Mehdi Hasan, the former MSNBC opinion host, who launched Zeteo, and Don Lemon, the former primetime CNN anchor, who hosts an interview show available via digital platforms.
