I am grateful to\u00a0<em>CNN<\/em>\u00a0for the nearly 18 years I\u2018ve spent here doing the news,&#8221; Acosta said at the end of his last programme, reported Anadolu. The anchor decided to leave\u00a0<em>CNN<\/em>\u00a0after turning down an offer from the network to shift his 10am show to midnight Eastern time. This proposal did not interest him, according to The Washington Post, citing a source familiar with the matter. Moreover, he said that he was often asked by the people whether the highlight of his career at\u00a0<em>CNN<\/em>\u00a0was covering Trump at the White House, but he said that moment came when he covered President Barack Obama&#8217;s trip to Cuba in 2016 as well as had the chance to question then leader Raul Castro about the island&#8217;s political prisoners. &#8220;As the son of a Cuban refugee, I took home this lesson: It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant,&#8221; Acosta added. It is important to note that he frequently confronted members of the Trump administration during its first term. Trump called the anchor\u2019s departure &#8220;good news&#8221; and said Acosta is &#8220;a major loser.&#8221; &#8220;Wow, really good news! Jim Acosta, one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history, a major sleazebag, has been relegated by\u00a0<em>CNN<\/em>\u00a0Fake News to the Midnight hour, \u2018Death Valley,\u2019 because of extraordinarily BAD RATINGS (and no talent!),&#8221; he said on his Truth Social platform. &#8220;Word is that he wants to QUIT, and that would be even better. Jim is a major loser who will fail no matter where he ends up.
