@dailymail: Journalist Jim Acosta issued a bitter final diatribe as he confirmed that he is quitting CNN after being booted out of his prime slot. Concluding his CNN Newsroom show just before 11am ET Tuesday, Costa, 53, looked directly into the camera and said: 'One final message - don't give in to the lies. Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope.' The veteran newsman - who spent 18 years at CNN - was humiliated earlier this month when reports emerged indicating he was going to be axed from his 10am timeslot. Acosta, who lives in Washington DC, was offered a graveyard midnight to 2am slot by him instead - an offer he flatly rejected. 🎥: CNN #cnn #jimacosta #trump #news #journalism #media
