Jim Acosta deixa a CNN após quase duas décadas e critica mudança de horário

Jim Acosta, um destacado âncora da CNN e crítico vocal do ex-presidente Donald Trump, anunciou sua saída da rede após quase duas décadas. Acosta revelou sua decisão durante sua última transmissão na terça-feira, afirmando que havia recusado a oferta da CNN de mudar seu programa para um horário da meia-noite, que ele chamou de “turno da madrugada”. Ele enfatizou seu compromisso com a integridade jornalística, pedindo aos telespectadores que “se agarrem à verdade” e não “se curvem a um tirano”.

A saída de Acosta segue a decisão da CNN de reorganizar sua programação, movendo seu programa do horário das 10h da manhã, de segunda a sexta-feira, para um turno noturno. Executivos da CNN enquadraram a mudança como parte de uma reestruturação mais ampla, mas críticos especularam que foi uma tentativa de apaziguar Trump, que frequentemente entrou em conflito com Acosta. Trump celebrou a notícia no Truth Social, chamando Acosta de “grande perdedor” e criticando sua credibilidade jornalística.

Durante seu mandato na CNN, Acosta ficou conhecido por suas entrevistas confrontacionais com Trump, particularmente durante o primeiro mandato do ex-presidente. O relacionamento contencioso entre os dois atingiu o auge em 2018, quando a Casa Branca suspendeu brevemente o crachá de imprensa de Acosta após um debate acalorado durante uma coletiva de imprensa. Acosta posteriormente refletiu sobre sua carreira, citando sua cobertura da viagem do ex-presidente Barack Obama a Cuba em 2016 como um momento decisivo, quando questionou o líder cubano Raul Castro sobre presos políticos.

Em um comunicado, a CNN elogiou a dedicação de Acosta à Primeira Emenda e às liberdades jornalísticas, desejando-lhe sucesso em seus futuros empreendimentos. Acosta, entretanto, lançou um novo programa no Substack, juntando-se a uma lista crescente de jornalistas que deixam a mídia tradicional por plataformas independentes. Ele prometeu continuar responsabilizando o poder, sinalizando que sua saída da CNN marca o início de um novo capítulo em sua carreira.
