In it, as well as on his show, Stelter pointed out many of the ways in which Fox News and the Trump administration became increasingly intertwined over the course of the president’s term in office. Strength for the network is having the courage to be a reliable source for a world that needs it, even if half the people in that world are never going to want to hear what you have to say. Practically, however, what this seems to mean is that the network has become intent on dialing back some of its criticism of Donald Trump, Trump world, and Trump-friendly media outlets—and the hosts and programs most associated with pushing back on Trump are being neutralized or shown the door. If, to take a totally arbitrary example, one politician says the election was stolen and another says it wasn’t, it would be a dereliction of reportorial responsibility to simply report the debate rather than to help correct the record. By loudly deeming the network’s output “fake news” and using every justifiably critical story about Trump as evidence that CNN has a grudge against the former president, Trump and his allies have served to undermine the network’s stature while attempting to neutralize its voluminous—and warranted—negative coverage of his presidency and post-presidency. The role of an authoritative source in a time of factual instability is to help its audience differentiate between fact and fiction. To me, it always sort of felt like CNN was effectively donating the time slot for the benefit of the public, even if the public was not always interested in Reliable Sources. “The president said he wanted to give an award based on which network is the most, quote, dishonest, corrupt, and/or distorted, but his problems with journalism seem to be rooted in the exact opposite,” CNN’s Jake Tapper The show sometimes felt like a relic of the pre-internet era, back when media had not yet been disaggregated and mechanisms did not yet exist for regular folks to broadcast their own media criticisms to the world every hour of every day. As a media critic myself, I know far too well that the media beat is generally of marginal public interest—trust me on this—which perhaps made Reliable Sources an easy target for new network bosses looking to trim some fat. But the fact that Reliable Sources was Licht’s first target raises real questions about the sort of network he and his colleagues hope to build. On Sunday morning, CNN’s Brian Stelter concluded his final episode of Reliable Sources with a show of support for the network that had just canceled his program.

Network insiders told the Daily Beast that CNN staffers “cannot shake the feeling” that John Malone, an influential shareholder and board member at WarnerBros. Stelter, a frequent foe for conservatives, was forced out last week and his show “Reliable Sources” was canceled. Currently, “New Day” is anchored by John Berman and Brianna Keilar.

One side believes in the rule of law, the other is waging a war against it. The only thing both-siderism can do is speed the further decline of our democracy by telling the public that there is no distinction between facts and falsehoods. The network could have a MAGA Republican on every show and the MAGA crowd would still trash it. CNN could have the most ardent Trump defenders on every panel and they would still paint it as the enemy. Do they think those who worship Trump will change the channel from Fox “News” or Steve Bannon’s podcast to start watching CNN regularly? Apparently, calling something a “big lie” is now considered partisan.

With CNN smartly trying to claim the center at a time when many Americans say they are tired of hyperpartisanship, there’s room for MSNBC to be the network of the left and Fox of the right. And Stelter’s departure was dignified, unlike that of Keith Olbermann, who has been [ranting](https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/keith-olbermann-msnbc-return-rachel-maddow-1235208577/) about MSNBC since he left the network more than a decade ago and who recently lit into his former employer on his new podcast. The network started in 2004, at the height of the Rush Limbaugh area, when there was the sense that America needed a liberal radio network. Do Americans really want news delivered neutrally, without a sly dig at the “other” side? Will MSNBC ever go the way of Air America, or even the way of CNN, by renouncing its partisan leaning? Such rhetoric is wrong and damaging to democracy, which may not need a kinda liberal TV network, but decidedly needs a free press. In this regard, the new CNN will be a great experiment. An example is the recent CNN Business analysis, picked up by other news outlets, that said the recent decline in gas prices amounts to getting a $100-a-month tax cut or raise.

But it also seems to have cost him a lucrative job, as CNN seeks to reinvent itself as a bias-free news source under new CEO Chris Licht.

CNN is at the forefront of digital innovation and continues to invest heavily in expanding its digital global footprint, with a suite of award-winning digital properties and a range of strategic content partnerships, commercialised through a strong data-driven understanding of audience behaviours.

Instead of simply programming a certain set of actions, the team has given Kleo simulated neurons that mimic the way information is sent to the spinal cord of a living being.

As Republicans move further rightward into the netherworld of authoritarianism, there’s even less possibility that CNN’s news coverage will be able to satisfy them, nor should CNN even try. Is reporting on it considered “straight news” or “opinion”? The show was commercially successful.
