 CNN wants to exile Jim Acosta’s show to the ‘Siberia of television news’ to stop him annoying Trump

CNN is apparently plotting to exile star anchor Jim Acosta — a longtime antagonist of President-elect Donald Trump — to the “Siberia of television news” in a bid to “throw a bone” to the incoming commander-in-chief, according to a former colleague.

The network’s boss, Mark Thompson, this week called in Acosta to propose shifting his show, “CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta,” from 10 a.m. to the graveyard midnight slot, ex-CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy reported in his Status News newsletter.

“The move would effectively exile Acosta to the Siberia of television news,” Darcy wrote.

Acosta was caught “off guard,” Darcy said — with the anchor later using his airtime for some self-promotion to send a message to Trump to go easier on journalists.

“He had no reason to believe that his current show would be on the chopping block. In fact, his ratings have historically been some of the network’s strongest,” Darcy pointed out.

Please let Jim Acosta's late-night show be sponsored by MyPillow ... to twist the dagger even more.

NPR, AP, MSNBC, NBC, and ABC should be banished to standing-room-only in the back of Press Room or banished to an over-flow room.

Further more, to piss them off more, use a daily lottery to determine seating positions and/or put guest reporters from smaller media markets in the front row.
