Well-known journalist John Harwood recently left CNN. He revealed the news in a tweet, writing that he is looking forward to figuring out what’s next. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, a CNN spokesperson said:
“We appreciate John’s work covering the White House, and we wish him all the best.”
The reasons behind Harwood’s exit remain unknown, although, according to his contract, he has some more time left with the company. A source also stated that they were aware of CNN’s decision last month.
John left CNN after Brian Stelter left and the channel announced the end of his show, Reliable Sources. CNN’s new boss, Chris Licht, was provided with a mandate by his corporate bosses at Warner Bros. Discovery to discontinue opinion-based shows and focus more on hard news.
John Harwood’s journey at CNN
John Harwood quit CNBC and joined CNN in January 2020. He was well-known for criticizing President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, calling it fundamentally broken in 2019.
Harwood has even analyzed the political situation since Joe Biden joined the office. Biden called MAGA Republicans a threat to America’s democratic values while delivering his primetime speech on September 1. Harwood agreed to the same and said:
“Biden’s assertion that Trump and extremist Republicans pose a threat to American democracy is, undeniably true.”
Speaking about his final appearance on CNN, he mentioned on September 2 that it is not easy to do something like this as a journalist. He stated:
“We’re brought up to believe there are two different political parties with different points of view and we don’t take sides on honest disagreements between them. But that’s not what we’re talking about. These are honest disagreements. The Republican Party right now is led by a dishonest demagogue.”
