White House Correspondent the Most Recent High-Profile Departure at CNN
Source: The Daily Beast
The staff shakeups at CNN under new management and ownership continue. White House correspondent John Harwood announced Friday that todays my last day at CNN, tweeting that he looks forward to figuring out whats next.
Harwood came to the network in Jan. 2020 after spending 13 years at CNBC as a Washington correspondent, where he broke the news in 2008 that John McCain had picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. In 2015, he made a name for himself as a harsh Donald Trump critic after clashing with the then-candidate in a GOP primary debatea reputation that continued at CNN.
His departure comes shortly after the networks chief media correspondent Brian Stelterlong an antagonist of right-wing mediawas terminated and his show canned.
Harwood appeared three times on CNN Friday morning, and apparently knowing that this was his last day, took the opportunity to deliver a parting message about the challenges facing journalismand CNN itselfwhen covering the current state of politics.
