CNN anchor Jim Acosta says he's quitting after nearly two decades rather than accept a move from a morning time slot to a less visible midnight at the East Coast.
That’s an apt description of the timeslot. For example MSNBC doesn’t even bother with midnight programming, they just start rebroadcasting their primetime lineup. Acosta would’ve been going up against a rebroadcast of All In with Chris Hayes.
Even Brian Williams got a 10pm weekly show on NBC after he was ousted from the main NBC News desk and he was actually ethically disgraced. This was an obvious insulting move meant to push Jim Acosta out the door to placate Trump.
