CNN anchor Jim Acosta says he's quitting after nearly two decades rather than accept a move from a morning time slot to a less visible midnight at the East Coast.

Embattled CNN anchor Jim Acosta announced Tuesday that he is leaving the network — and took a parting shot at the Trump administration by urging viewers not to “give in to the lies” in a final on-air rant.

Jim Acosta is leaving CNN after over 17 years with the network. The move comes after a time slot shift amid Trump's second term.
