Things are not going well over at CNN, apparently. Fresh off a very costly defamation lawsuit defeat and reports of mass layoffs, CNN's Jim Acosta is not happy with a timeslot change for his show:

CNN anchor Jim Acosta is reportedly considering quitting the broadcaster after being demoted from his prized 10 am show and threatened with banishment to the 'Siberia' of broadcasting.
On Thursday, rumors that Acosta has lost his morning show were confirmed by CNN boss Mark Thompson as 200 layoffs in the TV division were announced.
He'll be replaced at that time by The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown.
This is what happens when you pretend CNN is some paragon of honesty and truth-telling.
Is he a star, though?

Only in his own head.
Wow. Sounds great!

Will change absolutely nothing for us, so we're cool with this.
Star? Who puts their "Star" on at midnight? He's been tossed into the trash-bin of history and you all him a star?

Journalists gotta stick together. Or something.

Where will they ever find another hyper partisan person to do what @acosta does. There’s just no way you can get another person to just parrot partisan opinions. That doesn’t just grow on trees these days.

They can give KJP his slot.

Not.
Doesn't CNN know how important Jim thinks he is? The nerve. https://t.co/k8uQg0KA9e

The absolute nerve.
To be clear, a "star" would never be consigned to a graveyard shift. https://t.co/hrteaOOX44

Never. That's the exact opposite of 'star.'
