“I’m grateful for my nine years with CNN, proud of what we accomplished on Reliable Sources and so thankful for the viewers who tuned in every week for our examination of the media, truth and the stories that shape our world. It was a rare privilege to lead a weekly show focused on the press at a time when it has never been more consequential. I’ll have more to say on Sunday.”The news of Brian Stelter's firing comes less than a week after CNN’s legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin, announced his exit from the network.
