CNN’s Brian Stelter will not be with the network much longer, according to a report.
President of News Cycle Media Jon Nicosia tweeted Thursday, “SOURCE: Stelter is ‘down to weeks if not days’ left at CNN. They go on ‘He is everything that reminds the new owners of the Zucker era they desperately want to get past’ – More to come.”
He added, “They continue: ‘Management is confident Stelter is the one sharing the internal pushback to fellow media reporters while simultaneously stirring discontent within the ranks.'”
Earlier this week, Fox News reported Stelter’s “Reliable Sources” had its lowest-rated episode since September 2019.
Only 580,000 viewers tuned in on Sunday.
Axios previously notedCNN’s new boss, Chris Licht, is “evaluating whether personalities and programming that grew polarizing during the Trump era can adapt to the network’s new priority to be less partisan.”
Three sources familiar with the matter told the outlet if talent cannot adjust to the new method, they could be ousted.
