He then moved to WBBM-TV in Chicago in 2001, before working as a correspondent for CBS News’ Newspath Service from 2003 to 2007. During his time there, he covered the 2004 Democratic presidential campaign of candidate John Kerry, Hurricane Katrina, and the Iraq War from Baghdad. After his run with the network, he then joined CNN as a member of the political program “Ballot Bowl”. He later joined the program “American Morning” as a correspondent, covering the 2010 mid-term congressional election.

Jim’s Recent Career Endeavors

After five years with the company, he was promoted to the position of national political correspondent, serving as the lead correspondent of CNN covering the presidential campaign of Republican nominee Mitt Romney. He was also highly vocal about Obama’s administration in their trying to deal with the terrorist organization known as ISIS. In 2016, he pressed Cuban president Raul Castro in a rare news conference held in Havana about the country’s human right records. Two years later, he was promoted to chief White House correspondent. During the start of Donald Trump’s presidential run, he was commended by the president but was ignored the following year, with the President denouncing him and CNN as fake news.

He got into a heated debate with White House senior policy advisor Stephen Miller against the Trump administration’s support for the RAISE Act, which established him as the chief antagonist for CNN against Trump, since when he has been widely praised by liberals but panned by conservatives. He also gained support from international organizations who stand against President Trump’s attacks on press freedom. In 2018, after a heated argument with the President, he was suspended from the White House, with White House staff reportedly doctoring a clip of Acosta hitting a nearby intern as the reason. CNN later filed a lawsuit against Trump and the administration, which temporarily restored Acosta’s credentials.

Personal Life and Social Media

For her personal life, it is known that Sharon Mobley married Jim in 1994, just a year after graduating from college. They held their ceremony at the Wye of Carmichel United Methodist Church located in Queenstown, Maryland, with close family and friends in attendance, and spent their honeymoon in Greece. The owned a three bedroom house valued at $660,000 in Maryland and would then have three children. Things were going well for 24 years with no rumors of any problems going around. However, in early 2017 it was reported that the two had separated, and were already filing for a divorce.

Since then, Sharon hasn’t been spotted with anyone else, as she has quietly moved out of the spotlight. Her former husband on the other hand has been seen in public with various women. One of the reasons why there is very limited information about her past or current endeavors is due to the lack of any strong online presence. She does not have accounts on any of the major social media websites, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
