    Don't forget Katrina. Anderson Cooper rode that ship to his own show. Unfortunately, at the expense of Aaron Brown.

    You can say that, but he sued NBC and won received a very healthy settlement:

    After a contract dispute with NBC, he was fired in August 1992. He subsequently sued NBC for breach of contract, fraud, and defamation, a case that was settled in March 1994.[2][3]

    Under the terms of the agreement, NBC paid Kent a large settlement and retracted prior statements about Kent and the dispute. Kent also won the right to publish testimony and evidence from the discovery phase of the suit in his book, Risk and Redemption: Surviving the Network News Wars.[4]

    He subsequently returned to Canada to host CBC Television's Man Alive. With the settlement from NBC, he established his own film company, Fast Forward Films, in the UK.​

    Nothing like a little preemptive compliance!

    It isn't going to help. We've all moved on from CNN already.

    CNN should already know that the Trumpers will not be watching anytime soon.

    Who will, exactly? I haven’t watched CNN in years.

    I still do during major breaking news. But that's about it.

    I don't know if anyone knew who Acosta was before he became Trump's main foil in 1.0. It made him. But it also kind of "ruined" him. He should find a place to report on something far away from Trump to restart his career. He's a good reporter, but became the "anti-Trump guy" fairly or unfairly.
