(GoRealNewsNow.com) – After years of biased reporting and plummeting ratings, Jim Acosta’s departure from the failing network CNN thrilled President Donald Trump.
The departure of this liberal mouthpiece marks a potential shift in CNN’s strategy as they struggle to regain conservative viewers and credibility.
Acosta, known for his confrontational style and anti-Trump stance, announced his exit from CNN after nearly 20 years.
His exit comes as the network undergoes significant changes, including layoffs and programming shakeups, in a desperate attempt to salvage its declining viewership.
President Trump, never one to mince words, took to Truth Social to celebrate Acosta’s departure.
He attributed Acosta’s exit to poor ratings and labeled him with his trademark nicknames, highlighting the ongoing tension between the Trump administration and liberal media figures.

Acosta’s exit coincides with President Trump’s recent actions to reverse Biden-era policies and restore order to government institutions.
This timing suggests that CNN may be attempting to distance itself from its most vocal anti-Trump personalities in a bid to regain conservative viewers.
Moreover, the network’s attempt to move Acosta to a midnight time slot, which he rejected, reveals CNN’s desperation to shake up its lineup and potentially appease conservative viewers.
CNN’s chief executive, Mark Thompson, proposed the time slot change as part of a network reorganization.
However, Acosta’s resistance to this change, suspecting it was an attempt to sideline critical journalists, shows CNN’s internal struggle as it grapples with its identity and future direction.
“Acosta is one of your most independent, unafraid hosts,” Joe Walsh, a former Republican congressman and frequent CNN guest, wrote on X.
“To demote him to … appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. And an abdication of your duty to hold ALL public officials to account. Shame on you CNN,” he added.
As CNN attempts to regain conservative and Republican viewers since becoming part of Warner Bros. Discovery in 2022, Acosta’s departure may signal a shift towards more balanced reporting.
Yet, the network’s history of biased coverage and anti-Trump sentiment leaves many conservatives skeptical of any real change.
While Acosta’s future plans remain unclear, his departure from CNN could mark a turning point for the network.
As they struggle to rebuild their credibility and viewership, it remains to be seen whether CNN can truly shed its reputation as a mouthpiece for liberal agendas and return to fair and balanced journalism.
