Jim Acosta Omitted from CNN’s New Programming Lineup Amid Major Shakeup

 Jim Acosta, the outspoken CNN anchor known for his frequent clashes with former President Donald Trump, was notably left off the network’s new weekday programming lineup announced Thursday. His 10 a.m. ET show, which had been a fixture on CNN, was replaced by The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown , signaling a shift in the network's approach. Over the past few years, CNN has frequently adjusted its roster, but this latest change leaves Acosta in a more uncertain position. His combative style, particularly during Trump’s presidency, made him a prominent figure on CNN.

His confrontations often made him a target of Trump’s supporters but earned him a reputation as a staunch defender of the free press. Acosta’s adversarial relationship with the Trump administration clearly paid off, as it earn...

Pray on it," he said.  Critics were quick to point out that Acosta  frequently  criticized the notion of "thoughts and prayers" or promoted people calling it "empty words" rather than meaningful actions.

  CNN anchor Jim Acosta's rank partisanship was evident yet again Sunday as he battled a GOP guest over the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and bemoaned "disgusting" years-old remarks by a conservative radio host running for governor in   California . Welcoming Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., on his "Newsroom" weekend program, the left-wing anchor framed his questioning around the Trump administration no longer in power, shortly after President Joe Biden took questions on efforts to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies amid a  bungled troop exodus . "What is your response to what President Biden just said a few minutes ago and doesn’t former President Trump shoulder some of the blame in all of this? He cut this deal with the Taliban. Of course, Biden embraced it, and you and other Republicans up on Capitol Hill were applauding this pullout of Afghanistan months ago … What do you say now?" Acosta asked. "Well, first of all, I would have left Bagram A...

Everyone else in the Western world, our peer nations are doing it. We are the outlier here,'" McEnany said, quoting the former Stanford Medical Center neurology chief. "The science is very clear on this. For example, you look at the JAMA pediatric study of 46 pediatric hospitals in North America that said the risk of critical illness...
