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.
...
“Midnight is not a serious offer when his ratings are among the best on the network.”
They are all sucking up to Mar-a-Lago's Chief Felon before he asks them to do a thing. the term of art isn't "throwing a bone", it's "servile acquiescence" or "abject cravenness" or "yellow-bellied cowardice".
Might as well watch Fox, which has has made an art form out of kissing the Orange Traitor's ass.
