CNN Considers Jim Acosta Show Time Change

CNN is reportedly considering moving anchor Jim Acosta's high-rated weekday show from its current 10 a.m. slot to midnight, a move that many speculate is designed to appease President-elect Donald Trump. The network's chief, Mark Thompson, proposed the change as part of a broader lineup shakeup, which includes moving Wolf Blitzer to mornings. Despite Acosta's strong ratings, the move has been criticized as an attempt to 'throw a bone to Trump,' with some suggesting it is not a genuine offer. The proposed midnight slot, often seen as less desirable, has led to speculation that CNN intends to diminish Acosta's visibility due to his contentious relationship with Trump. Acosta and CNN have declined to comment, leaving his future with the network uncertain. The network's recent programming changes have sparked broader discussions about CNN's editorial strategy and its perceived shifts in political coverage.
