We’ve said it many times…if CNN wants to make any headway in becoming a more “respected” news channel, they have to fire three people ASAP. And those three people are Brian Stelter (who got canned), Don Lemon (who was demoted), and Jim Acosta. If they don’t gid rid of all three of those TDS clowns, then nothing else that they do will matter. And CNN might be getting the hint. Because while Don Lemon is still hanging on by a thread, rumors are flying fast and furious that Jim Acosta, the biggest Trump-hating doofus around, is about to be fired by CNN’s brass.
My gosh, it’s about time.
“Rumor has it that Jim Acosta will be fired very soon. Not a moment too soon.”

This move is likely coming after the latest ratings free-fall going on at CNN. The New York Post reported that CNN continues to hemorrhage viewers as new cable news boss Chris Licht scrambles to remake the primetime and morning lineups in an effort to reorient the channel toward more centrist reporting.
The embattled cable network has fallen even further behind perennial leader Fox News and the slightly revamped MSNBC, according to the latest ratings.
“CNN is in a bad place. The ratings are down really dramatically year over year,” said one seasoned media exec. “I’m not sure the company understands how hard it is [to dig out].”
“The turnaround that he had to do was pretty incredible,” added a CNN insider.
Even though Licht “knows what he’s doing,” the source said that the former executive producer of CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “CBS This Morning” has his “work cut out for him.”
In August, Fox News dominated with nine shows making the top 10 highest-rated cable news shows. Only MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow eked out a fifth-place ranking with 2.7 million viewers, lagging behind Fox’s “The Five” (3.4 million), “Tucker Carlson Tonight” (3.3 million), “Hannity” (2.9 million) and “Jesse Watters Primetime” (2.9 million).
The only CNN show to crack the top 25 was “Anderson Cooper 360” — in 25th place with 950,000 viewers.
If they insist on keeping radical anti-Trump “reporters” like Acosta and Lemon, nobody will take them seriously. And honestly, I think Jake Tapper needs to go, too.
Here’s what people are saying about the Acosta rumor:
“He is a Despicable journalist if you want to call him a journalist”
“I still can’t believe they gave that clown his own show”
“Acosta is literally one of the worst reporters in this country, and that’s saying a lot. Good riddance, bum”
“He should have been out the second the new folks walked in the door. The fact they didn’t, tells me everything.”
“Why is Don Lemon still there?”
“All the guys who wildly pushed anti-Trump hysteria are getting booted. Gotta love it.”
I honestly don’t think Don Lemon will be around much longer. I think they moved him to that lowly morning show to push him out.
He’ll likely end up quitting.
I am sure he’s sending his resume to MSNBC and Al Jazeera as we speak. He’d fit in perfectly at either of those radicalized networks.
