CNN staff upset with bosses' pro Trump moves

 Page 6 -  CNN is not a happy place in the first weeks of the new administration, we hear. Insiders fume that execs are paying people to “kiss Trump’s ass” and fear the network — which lauds itself as “the most trusted name in news” — is veering right to bring in viewers.

We’re told that — under new boss Mark Thompson, who has been accused of pandering to the White House — it’s gotten so bad that some employees are ashamed to even work there.

After Jim Acosta, one of Trump’s most vocal on-air critics, announced he was leaving the network on Tuesday after being bumped to the graveyard shift, a source told Page Six, “longtime CNN employees, who are actual journalists, are embarrassed.”
