“Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter’s show is being canceled by CNN and he will no longer be a part of the network.
A CNN spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “CNN will end its ‘Reliable Sources’ program on Sunday, August 21st. As a result Brian Stelter will leave the company. We appreciate his contributions to the network and wish him well as he embarks on new endeavors.”
Stelter also told NPR, “It was a rare privilege to lead a weekly show focused on the press at a time when it has never been more consequential.”
“Reliable Sources” is the longest-running show on the network, as NPR pointed out.
The news of Stelter leaving CNN sparked reaction on Twitter, including from Fox News’s Greg Gutfeld, who tweeted, “Yo [Brian Stelter] – my show is hiring.”
Yo @brianstelter – my show is hiring.
