Jim Acosta

CNN President Chris Licht has vowed to change directions at the network...getting rid of partisan journalists and replacing them with hard news anchors. There's been a series of changes at CNN over the last few months...with Chris Wallace replacing Brian Stelter and Don Lemon moving out of primetime. Over the weekend...rumors began to surface that Jim Acosta could be the next on Chris Licht's list. We reveal and react to the speculation that Jim Acosta days at CNN could be numbered. We discuss whether we believe the rumors...and question if Jim Acosta fits into the new model at CNN.

In one exchange on “CNN Newsroom,” Acosta asked Wolf point-blank who won the 2020 election and whether he believed Biden triumphed “fair and square.” Wolf acknowledged that Biden was president, but failed to respond directly, claiming that illegalities and fraud existed in elections and should be investigated. (There’s no evidence election fraud affected the 2020 vote.) Acosta pointed out that Trump pressed his election lies in lawsuits that were shot down more than 60 times in court (often by Republican judges and even some appointed by Trump). When Wolf said both the left and right “do not have confidence in our election system,” Acosta replied: “Our elections are fine.” “You are the former acting secretary of Homeland Security and you’re spreading doubt and fear,” Acosta continued. “These are facts,” Wolf said. “No, these are alternative facts,” Acosta followed. Wolf made a toothless call for integrity in elections. A frustrated Acosta snapped that “we also need to have integrity among officials who work in government and who have left the government who will tell the American people the truth.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
