(RightIsRight.co) – President Donald Trump’s wish came true as liberal CNN anchor Jim Acosta quit his position after more than 18 years of biased reporting and plummeting ratings.
This departure marks a potential shift towards more balanced journalism at the network as conservatives celebrate the end of Acosta’s reign of liberal propaganda.
After nearly two decades at CNN, Acosta announced his resignation on air, citing his refusal to “bow down to tyrants” as a key lesson from his career.
However, many Americans see this as a long-overdue exit for a journalist who consistently pushed a left-wing agenda under the guise of objective reporting.
Acosta’s departure coincides with CNN’s recent announcement of approximately 200 layoffs, suggesting the network may be finally recognizing the need for change in the face of dwindling viewership.
The timing also aligns with President Trump’s recent executive actions to reverse Biden-era policies, potentially signaling a shift in the political landscape that Acosta seems unwilling to adapt to.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope. pic.twitter.com/sGhSWSyPMz

Notably, Acosta declined an alternative time slot offered by CNN, choosing instead to leave the network entirely.
This decision comes after his 10 a.m. slot consistently ranked third in total viewers, trailing behind both MSNBC and Fox News.
President Trump took to Truth Social to criticize Acosta, attributing his exit to poor ratings.
This assessment aligns with the sentiments of many conservative viewers who have long viewed Acosta as a symbol of the mainstream media’s bias against conservative values and the America First agenda.
CNN’s attempt to regain conservative and Republican viewers since becoming part of Warner Bros. Discovery in 2022 may have contributed to Acosta’s departure.
The network’s decision to offer Acosta a less desirable time slot is a step towards rebalancing its coverage and acknowledging the importance of fair reporting.
As Acosta exits, true patriots and defenders of journalistic integrity can hope for a new era at CNN that prioritizes facts over feelings and balanced reporting over partisan attacks.
Americans deserve news that informs rather than inflames, and Acosta’s departure may be the first step toward restoring trust in mainstream media.
